No...I posted a message a while back but got no response (it probably didn't 
get very far) so I've been pretty quiet. Also, until construction started on 
the RICHELIEU, I haven't had any new projects on the go. Everything I have 
has been documented here so I didn't have much to say.
 
The DALLAS is still very much alive. In fact, I've done more submarining this 
year (by far) than ever before. I got the "reserve buoyancy" done to the bare 
bones minumum which results in a sub that dives much easier. But it's also 
caused a couple of scary incidents when the sub suddenly pitched down and 
dissappeared COMPLETELY (i.e. not even the tops of the periscopes visible) 
only to reapper afew hundred feet later.  Oh...gettin' the "Time almost up" 
warning. Gotta go
