Hydr0-museum
visited the Hydro-museum this afternoon, was duly impressed with the artifacts etc relative to Hydro history here and nationally. The fellows were very informative and knew their Hydo history. Was going to say Hello to PHIL but he had left the building. I recommend a visit, well worth your time.

Did you see our latest acquisition; that small 1940's hydroplane with the V8-60 flathead engine. Those heads and the Eddie Meyer manifold alone are hot rodders treasures.
Since you didn't mention it, my bodywork on the blaster's trailer apprently didn't amaze you.

Wish I'd know you were coming Alan. I would have enjoyed meeting you. Did you see the Blue Blaster? That's been nearly 5 years of my life. Still, I'm happy that you enjoyed the visit.

Glad I read through this thread. From the title Hdyro-Museum I wasn't sure what it was.
I'll have to make that a stop on one of my next trips up to the Seattle area. I once offered up my services as a safety team member on the water safety team in 96'. On the sled in turn 3 at Tri-Cities. What a hoot!
Hours of boredom punctuated by moments of shear terror. This was the event that Dave Villwock flipped the Miss Budweiser in turn 2.

Thanks Alan for giving me the opportunity to promote my pastime.
