Sounds like you found the same page I did. Ding ding dine. We have a winner. Your grand prize is putting up with all sorts of nonsense off of this board, and the loss of time associated with that. Congratulations.

Thought I had that already...[;)] Got it off NavSource; wasn't that far away from the Erie class PG, which I'd been looking at previously.

Well thank you Rev for your nice comment about my little web site...

Yes I own and operate it...

Right now fighting a very sick server, I am going to have to replace it...
Awful lot of work ahead setting up a new server then transferring all that data to a new box..

Echo the Reverend's comments... Sick server, eh? Guess that's why the thing was down when I wanted to use it on Thursday...

Thanks... lots of lost sleep this week... holding her together with bandaids right now, she is 4 years old now... No SLEP in her future, I am building a new box this weekend and will start setting it up... Hope to have everything moved over and all the bugs that come with a new box sorted out and running good by the end of the month...
