[Sonar Chief]

I know I have not posted in awhile ... it's field season and as a Fisheries Biologist that means you are in the field.
I have been working on a project that will help biologists determine species composition of their waters ... it's a tethered ROV (remote operated vehicle with video, lights and thrusters) that can be deployed from the boat and in conjunction with the sonar surveys provide live video (FISH PORN) back to the surface. We tested the ROV couple days ago and it works ,I made the cage outa 3/16 Al but .... I need to make some larger fins to stabilize the cage but she works and that's kool

Anyway, today was 102 and I spent most of the day getting ready for epoxy primer on the NOS fenders when it cooled off ..... mark time 2045 and tha's cuz I was running outa light. I didn't have enough primer to do the inside but I got the bare steel in primer and that's a good day.


NOS fenders in primer!

Yeah it's dark now!

It's not the Camaro but I built it for work!

The ROV inside the cage ... "Scooter"

I am gonna present my FISH PORN for the first time next week in Utah during a sonar workshop ... should go over well

Thanks for looking .... later.
