mvendon 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2023 Trouttramp, A very nice job on the Crackleback! Getting on this forum seems to be a little hit or miss the last several days for some reason. I can't do anything but view it at work now since it's forbidden to be linked to any public internet place and I'm not supposed to be doing even that either.

I blame it on not wanting to play well with my IPhone and IPad. Sometimes I will make post and it won’t show up for a few minutes or goes away and comes back later. But, I always find a way to make it works or it just starts working on its own. Looking forward to see your version of the Heneryville. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
