I agree, Paul has been quiet.

I just don't understand why people join up here, blast about 5 posts out, and then disappear, never to log in again.   :tickedoff:

I am afraid it is pretty much the same every where. There are just a handful that get involved.

Its been ok, I stopped by last weekend, and it appeared only a few branches had broken, so nothing serious happened to the Batfish, which is good. I got off a couple days of school for the ice, which was very nice,  ;).

Sorry,
Been busy lately.   Between being single father to 2 full time kids 1 part time kid and dealing with the ex,  not to mention Blue and gold Banquet for the Cub Scouts and when I am not busy with that,  working at the Batfish.  needless to say I have been busy.   We are gearing up for the reunion next month.

Lance, I still check up when I have time, but thats about all I have time to do, This is the first time I have been able to stay on the internet for more than 5 minutes, lol, so I usually do not have time to post. But I still try to keep in touch. School is really kicking my butt this semester with calculus and architecture studio one.

Well we just had the worst storm that I can recall since Katrina down here early Saturday morning.  Treetops snapped off and flooding.

I am happy to report that the storms so far have not effected the filming of the USS Seaviper (AKA Drum). We are just finishing up the first of three weeks and it is going well and on schedule, just long nights (12-14 hours.
