You guys sure are amusing. You just can't stop talking about Harry.. and to a lesser extent.. me. Get on with your boating talk... wait a minute, I forgot that you don't boat or even own a boat. Carry on, as you were. |

Carry on, as you were. Actually, Don, the discussion was about former 'groupies' and why they're gone. And, most of those involved in the discussion do own boats. Is there something wrong with 'not' owning a boat? There are several folks here who don't presently own boats. Try being social. It works! -- Hope you're day is spectacular! |
