Hi Derk,
Well I'm impressed, but I have to say that I thought my wife was easy going. So that leaves two answers. 1/ You don't have a wife? OR! 2/ You don't have a wife.  Great job! Colin.

This thread sure brings back a lot of memories. I was real worried what my wife (now ex-wife) was going to say when we tore up the front lawn washing that hull out. She only laughed. She wasn't a big fan of mowing lawns either.
re that small circular bracket that Jordan was asking about: I have only seen that on early carriers, so Lynn's explanation would make sense that it was for the capillary tubes of the first type gauges. Notice another feature of the early carrier is the rubber on the back steps. These were later replaced with a bit of welded on deck tread.

Front yard mess
Rob,
I am glad to hear that I wasn't responsible for the wife trouble that day as I thought for sure she wouldn't be happy with that lawn ornament in the front yard! Colin, Your guess is right,I never found a woman that would put up with me!It's not that I didn't try,just that awkward question would always come up "so what do you like to do for fun?'' and I am not into lying so I would be honest and tell them I like to go target shooting and restore military vehicles and I would never hear from them again? I don't know why but there must be a woman out there that would find that interesting,RIGHT? Oh well,i'll keep trying. Thanks for the feedback,Derk.
