I told Lisa this a while ago but I guess she forgot, I think she mentioned you worked either on the rigs or on the supply boats, can't remember which.

4&4 here but it is more like 3 and 5 with the travel from Texas to Africa. But we always get to stay over night in Amsterdam. I am a Sr. ROV Supervisor on the Heerema DCV Balder. Big construction vessel. A J lay pipe tower, 3500ton and 5000 ton cranes. Oh and us Two UHD ROV systems.

Ya 08 Chevy I cant wait to see going at all. LOL but the faster and Lower is always a plus.
