With all the recent rain you guys had I'm surprised you're not " staring at it sternly" through a SCUBA mask

Onward to the copious swearing stage... have the rad out, all the things wot can get bent when the engine is tilted rearward are out of danger.

Now, as J. Cousteau used to say: "So once again we dive-ed below Calypso."

I'd rather wrestle an alligator. :jester:
