@loosewire Sorry I haven't been around much, I traded my mule for a girlfriend. Girlfriend couldn't carry the heavy sugar bags for the 'shine still so I had to trade the girlfriend for a wheelbarrow. Broke the handle on the wheelbarrow, took the wheelbarrow to town for fixin' but traded for a mule. Teaching the mule to cook has been much tougher than I thought.

The best coverage up to now that from the Daily Mail.

The Cambridge Free English Dictionary online proposed "parboil" when asked for "parbuckling". :p Such is life...

Wish I was involved in the operation. I can imagine how Sloane feels...

I admire people involved in marine salvage. Guts and knowledge. Oh yes!

Yes, they sure are running up a tab, but wow, what an accomplishment.

I wonder what this crew (engineers and tradesmen) could've done with the raising of the Russian Submarine K-129? Hughes, the CIA and the Glomar Explorer.

Huge projects like this always draws my interest!!! I love it!!

Not to downplay what they dphave done, it is amazing, but, how often does a team of engineers get an unlimited budget to do something like this?

$800 Million Budget
