We picked up our third spring chinook of the season last Sunday. They
closed the Columbia down but the Willamette is still open and the run is
just getting underway. This should be a good weekend...

I'm still flo[[oing back and forth on what to do about a new boat.
I can get one that satisfy the wife and i or spring another $5 or 6 k
and get something a bit bigger (might be usefull if future grandkids
come along)
Trouble is, I'd also have to upgrade to a more powerful tow vehicke. I
have an appointment tomorrow at 1300 hrs with the local Toyota
dealer.
They'll appraise my 3 year old car and we'll take the 6 cyl RAV4 out
for a test run.
This could get expensive ;-)

If you're seriously considering getting something bigger, you'd best forget the RAV4 and look at the
4Runner or Highlander. If you have Carmax up there, that would be a good place to look also. We've
bought and sold twice with them and been very happy.

A few mistakes in your post. Can you spot 'em?

Keep what you have for a while and save up for that new shiny toy.
Don't take baby steps. You won't be happy in the end. ;-)

Blame the errors on my Blackberry Playbook. More awkward to use than
my desktop keyboard.

*Oscar* is offering up "corrections"? Now that's a giggle. The high
point of his entire life was a stint in the navy and that was over for
him decades ago.
