See there?

If I'd -a been online two years ago, and read that post, I would have thought long and hard about doing something dif'rent.

Oh well. Hey, last year, they had to DRAG me kickin' & screamin' into the 90's.

I hear you on the booties, if I wear anything but, I can just about get my feet on the pedals.

I am now helping a friend build a boat similar to mine, and this board has been an inspiration to both of us, as well as an invaluable source of information. Keep up the good advice...and the humor too! I know we've kinda gotten off the track quite a bit lately, but I think that the levity has a positive affect. I know it makes me come back to this board more than any other.

BTW. pLEASE EXCUSE ANY TYPOS i MIGHT MAKE IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, ( see, there I go) I broke my wrist last night, and typing with a cast on, is about as tough as, well, using the mouse left handed!

I'm on the side, Rick
