[Rhodes22-list] Captain Slim Fastest

[Tootle]

Slim,

You are aware that Captain Rummy now has waterfront abode....  And he needs
a drinking buddy... Things are incredibly quite here since Bob moved
south... 

Think Lake Hartwell... instead of Florida...

Art,

I don't have an alternative for this per se.  I only use the one pair of
sheets but I re-route them as needed.  Mary Lou just reposted my method of
doing this.

My mom is coming up here this summer so I won't be traveling to Fla anytime
soon, but thanks for the invite.  I'll take a rain check on that.

Slim
