Silverleaf VMSpc Screen Cloning

[Kurt Horvath]

Forget the Java! I can't get my better half to boil water. When I get
in the kitchen most folks just grab a drink and watch the show. She
is an excelent Navigator, Got to look at the bright side.

Sorry what did you say? Lost my hearing over 2500 decibels years ago
from industrial noise exposure. I've had tech's say, hear that air
leak? What air leak? The one next to your head Bubba.

I'm sure that technology is on the horizon, Sound can tell the story
if you know what your hearing, or if you can hear it to begin with.

She's running great, purring like a Kitten, two days latter your
putting a new cam and roller bearings in the S-60. I'm sure if you
could hear it, the motor would sound different with only 5 cylinders
banging away.
