You mean....Women will actually want to go out with me if they knew I had a boat?? NICK....WHERE'S THEM PLANS !!!!! Actually, with my luck, I could drag the damn boat into the bar and they'd just put a doilly (spelling??) on it and serve drinks. lol Oh, I plan on having the best damn lookin' boat on this bbs. for the first one. I'm just not the cutie at 50 that I was at 45. {;o) Yeh, I'm still a wannabe, but, soon to change. I'm just hoping for now that all the tips on woodworking will get me lots of first class help when I whimper. {:o) I've learned lots reading this, and will have to go back and review before I get started. Hey, I ain't just here to help a bunch of friends......... Hey, if there's a lady out there that likes to sand..........{:o) Well, gotta go, the Bible Study class is waiting and as of yet, I haven't gotten them convenced on holding class out on the ocean blue. Workin' on it. More later,
