Bill,
I'm also glad we had the chance to put some water between you & Mother 
Earth for those minutes. Just wanted to gently remind you of breaking 
that tether for even a short moment, however you got there. Thanks for 
the kind words.

New owner in the area this weekend-club member saw what he liked, and 
Elton should being coming around this weekend with a '87.

Since quotes are being offered around, try this-

"The sail, the play of its pulse so like our own lives: so thin and yet 
so full of life, so noiseless when it labors hardest, so noisy and 
impatient when least effective." Henry David T.

Anyhow great success again, and Rob and I are still talking about the 
trek northward in the fall (his daughter's in college in CT).
Regards,
Jay
