The front three are our old 378-foot High Endurance Cutters. They are really getting long in the tooth. They are being replaced by the 418-foot National Security Cutters, which are the two in the background. We asked for funding for eight of the NSC's, Congress just authorized the financing for a 9th, and there was just talk on the hill of maybe a tenth one...

Haven't seen a 387 ft cutter yet. Those National Security Cutters and the FRC's look pretty sweet though.

Time to come up with a install date eh.

Stupid fat fingers...

As for an install date, it may need to be a couple of weeks. I am just barely starting to walk again. I should be back working at the end of next week, and then who knows how busy things will be for me after missing a month and a half of work.

If the weather gives us a window, we could do it as early as next week, but I may or may not be helpful.

After next week is better for me, let's coordinate in your WAFTE thread in case we need Sean's assistance.

So, the last of the deliveries, the wheels and tires, are scheduled to be delivered between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m.

I guess I am not going anywhere that morning...

I am, however, they called again and said I could go pick them up, so they are in the back of the Ex now, waiting to be unloaded into the garage. They will be mounted on the Ex on Thursday. Or maybe tomorrow evening if the weather is right...
