Been a while since my last visit here.
Just stopped in to say HI! I have not been to the forum for a while but I have been busy. I have gotten in some paddling but I have been busier restoring a 1974 Scout. Having a good time gettin greasy. At least the grease washes off, not like epoxy . I will try to visit more often.
