The 7.3's bore is approximately 4", FIY. I don't remember the exact, but it's very close to 4" on the spot.

Jim, Glad you had a nice trip. My trip got pushed back a few weeks, I am going to wait and I am going to fly directly into Cedar Rapids in October...cheaper and will give me another day there.

Did you check out the prices on Kayak.com? I'm going to book another trip in November.

I did. I actually went there, and it lead me to another site, which lead me to priceline.com...which is where I found the best deals...but I had waited too long, and I wasn't happy with the flight times. I want to fly out late friday night, and leave mid-day on Monday, and fly directly into cedar rapids. If you price out that flight for this weekend, it'll cost about $1,000.

Wow, just got caught up. I hope we dont ever move this to the chat room, cause for one, it doesn't work on my computer no matter what version I download, and two, then it only would work if we were all sitting in the chat room all the time, rather than what we are doing now. Hope everyone had a good weekend, back to the grind tomorrow.

I was thinking, lets say a guy has Friday and Saturday off instead of Saturday and Sunday, could that said guy move hump day to Tuesday? I dont think I can wait till Wednesday...j/k.

You moved those to Iowa? You know a pack rat that young will be a major problem by the age 60.
