What's the tally? Sounds like Steve B did alright with his gift
certificate, how about the rest of you boaters?
I got new socks that I can wear on the boat....

I'm a happy boy. Grandkids coming to stay for a week, so maybe it will be
warm enough to take them out fishing. Good food, good friends, family.

YAY!!! We had a blast with the new relatives - actual honest-to-pete
no kidding Chinese food for Christmas dinner at their house. I have
never had egg rolls and chow mein like it - unbelievable.

And our new grandson is only a few days away - WHAHOO!!!

better than this."

Far Side is the best - funniest stuff evah!

Hope yours was good, and we all get to do some boating while we're still
young, healthy, and have a few shekels to do it. Do it till you can't
because for one reason or the other, one day you can't.

Going tomorrow in fact - youngest boy and his academy room mate -
strpiers on Lake Murray. Can't wait.

God Bless

Back at 'cha and a Healthy Happy New Year to you and yours.

To cold and windy for boating the last few days. Did take a big boat over
to Alcatraz for a night time tour yesterday. Power out this morning, blown
transformer down the street.
