Re: 2013 pop top cover and health problems resolved
Ok Ozzie will do, thanks tho I humbly deny any comparison to his Majesty Kevin. Your idea of angled out pop top cover is a good one.

Re: Smallest boat in the US Navy
Come on Ozzie how old are you 95? Hospitals? queen size beds? I’m in my twilight years still healthy (sort of) had friends who were very careful and tragically not around any more.
