Hello Wayne;Thanks for the reply.I will try to post pictures from time to time if there is some interest.If not will get in touch with you and those interested like 37 Chief.I started to sea in 44 in Merchant Marine.Did time in the Navy during the Korean affair.Then went back to MM and stayed there almost continuously until 2002.I retired then after just about 40 years as Ch/Eng.I hobby farmed on my long vacations.As you can see I am an oldtimer.I took the first of the crane ships out after her completion in about 76 and stayed there for a few years.Then went on to other vessels.Was C/E on passenger cruise ships SS Independence and S/S Constitution in Hawaii from 81 until 88.Later went back to the crane ships and stayed until I retired in 02.I have had a really great time all my life, loved the ships and all their problems because there was a new adventure or problem nearly every day.Now I have an peach orchard and some long horn cattle.To tell the truth.I was delighted to be called back to work.It is about 0500 am and I will be leaving here soon.I may not get to see YT for the next week or so because my ship is in layup and I'll be busy round the clock for a while.Thanks for the replys from you and 37 Chief.I had not seen any other posts at 0400 this morning when I started this missile.Best regards ,Ol Chief
