More work for all...

[Mark Sarsfield]

As always, I'm thinking up new ways to improve the boat's appearance and create more work for al of us.   I was wondering how difficult it would be to remove the antenna platforms from the top of the SD radar mast, since they were post-war add-ons?  They're probably welded on, but it's nothing that a grinder wheel on a drill probably wouldn't fix.

I would guess it would be difficult, but I haven't really looked at it.  Besides, I think everyone is busy with other things...like the deck.

There's no time limit on the idea.  Just something I thought I'd bring up.  I agree that the deck and painting are a much bigger priority.  I need to hook up a speaker wire to one of the reproducers in the sub for the reenactments, too.

Does anyone have a boom box radio or small stereo with auxiliary inputs?  This will be needed to power the reproducers int he sub.  A laptop will feed the sounds into the stereo.

The deck is top priority in my book right now.  We have the wood and supplies here to work on it.  I just need man power.  The Batfish Foundation will purchase additional supplies as needed.  I will need to discuss the plans for the seams between planks.   I are going to section this out and get-er-dun one section at ta time...

I am open to other activities and ideas.  as time allows..
