    Hey all combatants! Everything is 100% a go and we have passed the threshold for this weekend. Everything is Green... so here is what to expect.

    1 - Expect to find five armed and fully functional combat warships...

    2 - Expect a gathering on Friday night, BBQ on Saturday night... followed by an end meal at Frank`s after the awards on Sunday.
    (Frank`s for lunch Saturday... Curt has now been and it`s two thumbs up... he was busy stuffing his face with hot turkey sandwich)

    3 - Expect there is a nominal fee (5-10 dollars) for the weekend... gas replenishment and a small donation to the host familys coffers... (they have not asked for anything... will leave this to the individual Captain to decide what is appropriate)

    4 - Expect to have fun.

    5 - Expect to have a good time.

    6 - Expect me to make a fool of myself... what else is new... :)

    7 - Expect to have a memorable and awesome weekend!!!!!

    8 - Expect me to finish this list now....


    As you can tell.... excitment is building here and the four C`s of the Apocalypse (Curt, Chris E., Chris O., and myself) Will be having a pre-brawl before the main event.... Wednesday or Thursday... weather permitting.... we will see....

    Questions....

    Let the battle begin!!!

    The PE will definately be there. Sodak is starting to look doubtful. The cannons are not feeding bb's. I have checked the pIN and they are moving. I am getting CO2 coming out of the barrels but no bb's are firing. I have to check where the mag meets the upfeed tube. There are no crimped hoses.

    Are you using an accumulator tank? Is it all the cannons or just the triples? I'm sure you already checked for leaks? Just playing devil's advocate, do all the cannons allow the bb's to flow through freely?

    I'll check with Curt too Paul.... see if he can remember anything about what you've got there...or give us a shout, we'll be around most of the day tommorrow.

    Alright... I think I remember the gear. He had most everything. Curt's up, I'll run it by him.

    Mac will let me know if he is coming by Wednesday. Paul, I hope you get the "not working guns" (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) fixed. It would be a pity if she stayed home in the coop nice and dry, laying eggs.

    Well the pIN issue is fixed. I will need to install some new hosing as it now wants to pop off.

    Tommorow will be the day it either works or it doesn't. If it doesn't the PE will get the nod for the weekend.

    Hey Paul, if you want to come by tonight (Wednesday any time after 4 pm) Steve Crane and I will be working on our boats, and then taking to the water for some more final testing and tweaking. The Scharnhorst and Nagato are both finished and ready to go. Lutzow is getting her final touchups tonight. You are welcome to come out and maybe between the three of us we can get SODAK's triples working. If you do come out bring your spare pneumatics parts in case something needs to be replaced.(I had a MAV-2 go on me last night out of the blue)
    LMK by phone, puter is duff,
