The Ark

Post by steelbuttplate »

Made a fast ride to Ky. the other day. This ship is unbelievable, 510'. x 80 ft' high. If it were a flat top, you could land 10 Spruce goose on it. The engineering of this thing was not possible at the time, Noah had help from some really smart feller.
We popped in a museum in the edge of Cinncinatti, this old truck was looking good. I'd never heard of them.

Several years ago we visited The Ark in Kentucky. Pretty neat place they have there.

We'll need it soon enough down here in the Florida Panhandle......We have been getting some serious rain everyday since Saturday. A lot of the roads locally were flooded, and we have flood warnings until at least Thursday as it stands right now.

We had 3.5" of rain in the rain gauge over a couple of days over here.

Just in one day we got 5 plus inches of rain earlier in the week. The low parts of our yard had ankle deep water......

I'm no expert in this field buy, I'd venture to guess it would take a LOT MORE rain then that to make this thing float! :chuckles: :chuckles:

I don't want to live downwind when they fill it with critters of all sorts.

Just saw our forecast, they're calling for another 10 days of rain. We're on the path of having the 40 days of rain.......I think we've had 17 days of rain so far!
