: Pretty impressive Robert. I probably would have turned the peices into

: I can see I'm going to have a great time with you, Myrl and Al on the big
: trip. It's too bad I won't be able to ship my boat up from Orlando. I'm
: sure every one on this board is like me and would feel completely out of
: place in anything but a wooden boat.

: Keep up the good work.

Well, I seriously considered using the old yak for a cool flower planter in my front yard but it's my first baby and I just couldn't do it. I could sense it wanted to float again so I stocked up on Guiness and Chartreuse and went to work on the rebuild. I think the trip will be a great getaway for all of us. I'm taking stock of necessary equipment and provisions now to be sure I'm ready. One question I have is this: if I bring my own Guiness are you guys gonna give me puppy eyes as I look over the top of the can and slurp away? I need to know how much to stock up on just in case guilt becomes an issue.
