Now that is a wrench
Went the San Jacinto Monument with my Fiance today and went on the Battleship Texas. I had not been in about 10 years and it was fun to go.
Was fun looking at the engine room. It was originally a coal powered ship, with the longest range at the time it was built. Later it was convert over to oil. I forget the HP rating but it was run by two four cylinder engines with cylinder walls 7 feet wide. I forgot to take pictures as I was enjoying looking at the machine work. I did get a kick out of the wrenches, pipe tools, etc on top deck. I've had friends in the armed services as well some that work oil and I always get a kick out the size of some of the tools.

God no. This is not the same girl. That one was a ..(fill in your favorite word here).... this one is great. The kind that tells me that I need to go out and race and do things.
I can see this has gone way off topic.

Glad to see it all worked out. As I remember, the earlier one was chunky.
