Thanks Wilf,

Check my second save-the-sheep posting on the superheated "this from FFR" thread.

Thanks Santapez,

Good insight!

Bofe of yuz (and Mr. Fixit, too),
If I ever learn how to copy articles and post them---I'll send you an interesting tidbit on (I kid you not) LOBSTERBOAT (I
should say "lobstaboat") RACES...yes...RACES "Down East" (state o' Maine, Wilf). They put absolutely gargantuan "mountain engines" in "tricked up" (stripped out lobsterboats) and let 'em rip. Current record is 67.9 mph (58.03 knots).
The accelleration is phenomenal. They aren't quite in same league as the pre-Gold Cuppers on my photogallery---but the lobsterboats get up to racin' speed in about 75 yahds...ayuh!

Thanks to you all, now I'll call Bob Olthoff and get the side of my face chewed off for commiting les majeste on an SPF by
recommending tubes!

PS: Wilf, thanks for posting that photo of yourself au naturel, sauve les boots---I use it to frighten squirrels off my bird-feeders.

Chow,
