[PSUBS-MAILIST] first dive

[JimToddPsub at aol.com]

Hank, best wishes on your first dive in Gamma.  Wish I  could be there to 
hold a line for you, pass out hand warmers,  etc. We're all eager to hear how 
it goes and see the pictures.
 
Cheers,
Jim

Vance,
Thanks', I am sure the sub will be fine, I am more worried about  the 
roads.  I am starting to hate winter ;-(

I am leaving tomorrow morning for Kootenay Lake, I am doing a  test dive.  
I am tired of waiting for winter to let go, I cant work on my  barge.  Gamma 
is all loaded up and tarped up.  I can test the  propulsion, and dive to 
safe depths.  I can not afford the 3k for  batteries at the moment, so I have 
four batteries removed from my commercial  truck sitting on the floor of 
Gamma.  I have the battery box filled with  480 lbs of scrap bits of steel.  It 
will be crowded inside :-) .  I  am carrying the scrubber inside the truck 
to keep it warm.  It may be  snowing out there, but that adds to the 
adventure.  I also replaced the  mbt windows with steel plates, I was intending to 
drop her to 1,000 feet  first.  I do not trust the condition of the mbt 
windows to handle unknown  conditions at 1,000 feet.  I will leave the plates in 
place until I get  the deep test done.
Hank
