[Rhodes22-list] Brad's New Boat

[brad haslett]

Wally,

Great idea!  My youngest son would go for it, my
oldest wants to spend the summer at school and work,
my wife would take up arms.  I could swing the time
off, especially if we pospone our annual trek to
China.  That just leaves one small problem,
TESTOSTERONE!
