I happened to be next to it when he started it up. I think it idled at about 50rpm, sounded like a Singer Sewing Machine and super quiet. Great choice. Great little MB. :wink: gary

Frank,
After peering at the picture for a few minutes, I made out enough of the text to realize
that it is a printout of a web page at navsource.org. Some searching and more peering
finally gave way to the page that was printed:

So there you go! :D

No, but there is a certain photo of the McFlirtus and BettySpice that I have
been meaning to request of you ... are you cognisant of the picture to which I am referring? :)

I do have a few of your mighty award and you with a cetain type of grin on your face
that renders some species of rhesus monkeys sterile... :D

... and a glimpse at the gruesome work required to achieve such an honor!
