Well gee - what with all the excitement...
yesterday, I clear forgot to give a report on the day's boating
activities. The FLW Striper Tour was in New London over this past weekend and some of the invited factory boats showed up flying their respective flags. As it happens, I got up close and personal with a couple of really neat fishing machines made by Fountain, Scarab, Contender and probably the really nifty boat, a Donzi 38 ZF. Got to ride on the Fountain 38 TE (Verado power) and Scarab 35 Tournament (ETEC power). These are high power, high performance boats and I was most impressed by how solid they felt zipping across the waves. It's really interesting to get the boat trimmed up and feel the chine walk although you couldn't actually "see" it in the sense that you moved around a lot inside the boat. Anyway, I had a big report typed up and got caught up in the great gas controversy and dumped it. Sorry. Had a great day though - love those high performance machines. |

Sounds like a great time. For excitement today we are going to look at a Casita travel trailer. The Casita company has no dealerships, but does have volunteers around the country who will 'show' their trailers. Should be fun. If the weather holds, I'll take the two Belarussan kids fishing Friday. -- John *H* |

Lock them in a room and teach them to eat like pigs, get fat and chew their fingernails! |
