    Jeff ? Need next gathering update, date.

    I tend not to be good with last minute scheduling.

    March 25th (if that is the Saturday).
    If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.

      Two weeks.
      Saturday after next.
      12 days.
      Not to worry, I am repeating myself so I remember.

      The last gathering I missed do to the flue and other bad sick things.
      I am currently doing very well as far as my health goes.

      This coming Saturday, I will get the Skipjack on the bench to charge battery and replace the ballast balloons.
      At $0.10 a piece, I plan to put news ones in every time the boat goes out.
      I have to remove them to get to the battery anyway.

      Tx is on the kitchen table because I have been using it while working on the inside of he ALMA.

      If you can't tell, I have marked my calendar and plan to be there.

          I did not get to the SKipjack over the weekend.

          I did get to it this morning.
          I opened up the Skipjack.
          Checked the Tx and Rx for correct controls and still working.
          All, Okay.

          Removed the battery and got it to the charger.
          Silicone grease on the seals.

          Rx battery charged to full.
          Put back in the boat and hooked all linkage up.
          Quick test and all is good.

          Moved the Tx to it's charger.

          Searched the work bench and gathered up the tools I take with me.
          Double check for the valve stem cap.
          Not only did I find it in the travel box .... there are two.

          Rain or shine, I am going to go for the drive, mostly to get away from the house for a while.
          Weather still says rain for Saturday but it has gone to 10% chance from 60%.

          The boat and equipment is ready.
