...All flocking together....
What a bunch of pussies arguing about gun control!!! You're all a
dismal lot of losers. All of you are fruits. I don't want to take your
guns away. Ganzy is the typical uneducated a.s as usual. Even the

Saw her drifting this morning, and she came in heaving distance.
Has some nice winches. The cockpit is full of green slime, I went
below looking for bodies and only found 8" of rain water. She blew

and diverting resources, they are an unecessary danger to civilians and
private property. Let them practice their hijinx over the open ocean or in a
combat zone. What measurable purpose do they serve? None ...

Anyone got a good source for a 45mm ID spinny pole end fitting?
