Taken off a little have ya John ;^) Will we be seeing you at P'ville?
Why don't you give BOb U a boost and see if you can succeed where I have
failed and get him to come and perform another muzzleloader miracle. I
think one more and he can be put up for sainthood.

Nah, it isn't the weight. It is the less than 5 gallons of "fuel" that is
the problem.

5 gallons of "fuel" is 20 pints.

A carefully conducted scientific test established that my "fuel"
capacity is considerably less than 5 gallons. Witness were divided
whether I stalled and spun or entered a spiral dive. I only rememember
a very unusual attitude before I crashed into the ground.

Further tests with alternate "fuels" were cancelled.

Remind me not to let you do the fuel calculations if I'm in the plane...

I know that isn't the problem with Oysterhouse. You don't even get ONE
gallon in him before it starts leaking out!

He must be using fuel with alcohol in it. I hear that's bad for the seals.

Hey, the Navy doesn't care what the SEALs do in their spare time.
