A visit to PT 305 this week

All;
This past week my wife and I had a little getaway trip to New Orleans, and with my previous history with PT 308 RON 22, and my efforts to get her restored, I just had to go visit PT 305. The tour was wonderful and the boat is absolutely beautiful, I encourage all of you to make the trip and visit her. you won't be disappointed. The restoration crew was just awesome!

Dang LT, how long you been out of the Navy? :-)
I'm imagining you making vroom vroom sounds. Got to get down there one of these days. I may have to make a USS Texas, National WWII Museum sweep.
Looks like you had fun.

Like the comic strip character The Flash, I think I saw Ted shooting towards Portland.

Jerry, just make sure the fish are not rigged to fire, Ted may get transformed to 1944 and try a Torpedo run on some unsuspecting fishermen.
