History nerd peak performance one may say. I am obsessed with the study and research of our submarine campaign in The Pacific during WW2 and the teaching of said history. People thank me for my tours but I end up thanking them for listening. I do it for selfish reasons....I just want to talk about our beautifully restored and maintained(best in the world, change my mind) fleet boat that turned 78 years old this year. I love the boat so much, and so does my wife, that we actually got married on the boat this September. It was perfect.
If you are in Cleveland ever, or just the Lake Erie coast for that matter, please stop by! I absolutely know more about old submarines and The Pacific War than I do about detailing, not gonna lie. Unfortunately the boat doesn't have a nice clearcoat to maintain and polish...that wouldn't be very stealthy. Measure 32 light grey it is. I kill 1-2 books a month, love to read and can't suck up enough knowledge on the subject.
Talk to me nerdy.
That sounds fun. If I’m ever down there I’ll go. But how will we know if you’re there? I wouldn’t want a tour from someone else .

Eldo, If your house ever gets broken into and your collection disappears, I say we send KlasseAct back home to Michigan to knock on Cadillac's door - I bet they'd love to get their hands on so much of their history!!!

Great question as I don't have a set schedule being a volunteer. Our regular season is over but we will resume normal hours(7 days a week 10-5) this coming April or May. During the start of the season I frequent more to handle the crowds, which we usually get on a sunny Saturday or Sunday. Best bet when you plan on visiting PM me on here and I should see it. If I have a weeks notice I should be able to work something out and make myself available. I can only swing weekends or holidays though. The best weekend to visit is Airshow weekend, labor day weekend. The aircraft approaching to land parallel the boat and are very close. Two birds with one stone.

Nice work. I've done a good amount of BIF (birds in flight) photography. I don't typically do song birds though.

thanks...there are so many in and around here in the winter, it makes it pretty easy to do.
I still like doing the portraits better

Re: Other hobbies or past times outside of detailing
Any cyclists in here?
I am mainly a road cyclist (gravel) but have a mountain bike as well. I usually get in 5k-6k miles a year but been busy last year or so and only was around 4k miles last year.
