Gosh fellows, I sat here thinking that my reply to Sloroll query was way to long.I have a habit of going into details but left out a lot in that last post.I had a tremendously interesting life on ships and in truth I will continue to miss that industry.Even today if I want a vacation I go on a cruise.Today our American flag fleet has shrunken to only about 300 vessels.This is due in great part to federal govt.interference and again favoring foreign countries.There are only two major shipbuilding yards left in the USA and they would not even exist except for Navy contracts.Our government has ruined many industries just as the have turned farming into a hollow shell.On the lighter side,I have 15 tractors,seven are operable but the rest are still in poor condition.

I thank you one and all for your replys and interest.Best personal regards,John
