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. Far Side Cartoon: Vultures standing around rotting rhinos, others circling ......... "Ahhh. Rotten rhino, friends flying in for the Holidays, it doesn't get any better than this." 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. God Bless Steve |

Yes. reflecting back on the good 'ol days during the holidays. There's nothing like them. |

Actually, while there are a number of "centers" of asian culture in the SF area, asian culture may be found almost everywhere in that great city. There are many neighborhoods in sf...it is a city of largely residential neighborhoods. I'd bet you've never been there for any significant period of time, if at all. SF, thankfully, is nothing like Atlanta, which...sucks. SF sucks politically also. But there are some fine places to eat. Do not know if your place is good or not. Other than David's Deli by there, most are not anything special. |

I got new socks that I can wear on the boat.... Got a new sheepskin pad for the motorcycle, so I'll be comfortable if I decide to ride the bike to the boat. Oh, and a new pocketknife that'll work for almost anything on the boat. Glad to hear about your socks! Got a pack of 2 LED flashlights. One red, one blue. That way you can them apart. They use 3 AAA batteries, nestled sideways in a plastic harness inside. Bright, but LED light looks a bit strange. Nice size, about 4 inches long, a little over an inch wide. Lanyard equipped, a rubber push button on top for on/off. Looking forward to using them. Hoping for a power failure in fact. --Vic |
