Lindsay and Kenneth,
man, you guys make me look like a slacker. kenneth builds a sub-chaser, i
build a PT boat. but before it's even a week old, kenneth here already has a
dreadnaught. between both of your boats, my little corvette will seem
miniscule. oh well, i do what i can w/ what i have (i will have to buy). i
hope to eventually have a ship comparable to yours. maybe an iowa. oh well,
g2g. adios
-austin
P.S. did i mention that both of your ships are AMAZING. i'm sure you hear
that often but they are quite amazing.
