!! You didn't go for the aluminum trailer ??

Of course I did. But I won't be able to pick it up in Norfolk until
Saturday or Monday. The trailer you see is one of the dealer's yard
trailers. When new boats come in, they have to be stashed on
something. Tri-State uses cradles or trailers to prop up its new boats.
Are you getting yours from S&S? I drove to Norfolk to pick up mine....

Yup. Wanna meet me for lunch end of next week? I'm supposed to pick it
up either Saturday the 18th or Monday. Maybe we could pick up a charter
in Virginia Beach. I believe I'll be kinda footloose the end of next
week with my wife visiting her maternal grandma in western North Carolina.
That would be Saturday the 18th or the following Monday.
Where will you be? Will you be cruising west toward granny?

Monday is the first day of classes.... no way I'll get out of that....

Yikes. I guess I worded that...poorly.

No, I will not be cruising west towards granny. My wife's annual trips
to granny's house are a henfest, with the convergence of a number of
female relatives. Granny, by the way, is 100 years old this year. She's
a very healthy, active lady.

Great for the old girl! I hope to be spry and sassy past 100, too!

On Saturday, the 18th, hopefully, I will be cruising down to Norfolk to
pick up the trailer. But I won't know until Friday the 17th. That's when
the trailer is supposed to arrive there. If it isn't there for pickup on
the 18th, I'll be driving down on Monday the 20th.

Let me know how your plans evolve. S&S isn't very easy to find. I
remember them at the end of a short gravel drive, with an aircraft
carrier looming over the neighborhood.



Actually, they're on the other side now. They moved a few years ago.

Much easier to find. Near the airport and the botanic gardens.
