[Rhodes22-list] Appliance vibes?

[Steve Alm]

Anne,
We've had a couple beers on the boat--very much still on the hard.  Waiting
for a nice enough day to paint the bottom.  Still have ice on Lake
Minnetonka.  <sigh>  Since we lost most of Sept and Oct to crappy weather,
it seems like forever since I've sailed.
