GREETINGS FROM WASH DC

FAITHFUL, checking in from Wash D.C. The last 2-3 months have been needless to say, extremely hectic. This has been, believe it or not, my 23rd military move. One of the enjoyable parts of this move was of course being able to visit family, but also to see SUPERMEX! WOW! is simply all I can say. Carl has done a wonderful job. She had just been painted a beautiful Fighting Angel yellow and almost brought me to my knees when I saw her. I know, I know, pictures will be forthcoming. Sorry it has taken me so long to get back in touch. The PENTAGON is amazing. I stand ready to provide any of the FAITHFUL a tour of this magnificent facility. 25K-28K personnel report to work each day and it has taken me almost 4 weeks to learn how to go from corridor to corridor without getting lost. I purchased property right on the Occoquan River so I will be able to put SM through her paces, albeit not offshore, but I will give her the exercise she needs. Good to be back in the V/r Roland

Roland,
Welcome back to the East Coast. I work in Alexandria from time to time so I'll make sure I contact you before I do. If you make it to Richmond for any reason, drop me a note. First beverage is on me.

Roland ; Welcome to the heat and traffic. Current temp is 101.3 and the traffic is at a stand still. Pentagon to Ocaquan on a Fri afternoon is 2hr and 14 min. a distance of 21 miles. Get a Harley and do the HOV. All jokeing aside WELCOME BACK.
As John D said fall rockfish will be soon and Supermex should be able to make the trip to the bay is 2 and 1/5 hrs about 90 miles.
Rawligh and Mikey will provide clears

Roland,
Mikey gots those clears. Might take you up on a tour of the Pentagon. Have always been fascinated by it. Can't wait to see SM. Yellow heh? Kind of like Dreamsicle, pale orange.
Went over to the yard this morning to do some fiberglass grinding. After suiting up in Tyvek et al I was able to make it 45 minutes before calling it a day, but got the job done. When the dust settles I'll go back and vacuum.
Work progresses.
Roland, welcome home.
Sit Stay

Hey Roland,
Glad to have you back home. I'd love to see the pictures of SuperMex when you have a chance. I've still got the last set you sent me with the custom exhaust.
Time to get your burgee wet amigo!
