A partial excuse me .

  HEY ! MANSTEIN , I didn,t know those guys could swim . Well , put down the anchor and then had to change moorings . So , I,m back for a short bit . Manny , do you think my suggestion of having a surfaced U-BOOTE checking out the target ,will fly ?? That,s the kind of dio I want to do . Do you remember the movie with KURT JERGENS (u-boat skipper) and ROBERT MITCHUM (d.e.skipper) ??? I wanted to do that dio with a allied d.e. and a japanese sub . I think there are a lot of possabilities here . I can,t wait to see your progress . REMEMBER ,Mein Herr , I am carrying schnapps this trip ! BYE     TANKERBUILDER

  HEY SUBFIXER ----!!!! What,s an apostrophy??? IS this it ,,,,,,,,,,,,, ? HEY guys , mother nature said 104 so stop working . It looks like it is going to do that tomorrow too . I can,t work in the house ,because it,s not my house . I rent for room and board and the use of part of the garage . This puts me closer to my better half who has never ,and will never recover from her stroke . I don,t mean to rain on everybody but the first loved my hobby (she,s with the angels) And this wife was so fascinated she went with me to deliver client,s models .She was floored by people,s reactionsto what they wanted in miniature . She said she never understood ,but, she did now . She still guards a ,model I built and put in resin so she could keep it with her. That,s the skinny so I thought I would barge in for a while . ----TANKERBUILDER

Darn, hate to see you away...better check in once in a while...I will have the Gestapo keeping tabs on you while you are away.  Bondo, I knew something was up: every time I get within 200 miles of English coast, I have been forced down by those aircraft!!!...I'm operating further out now...

Try transferring to the Pacific with Silent Hunter- Wolves of the Pacific.

And while you're gone, see if you can find a keyboard that has an apostrophe key!

See ya later, tankerbuilder, don't be a stranger.
