Well, darn, Ed....;^) That might've been the nicest thing anyone male has said to me lately.......(groveling now...;^)

Yes, I do have more pix to post of some of the classic boats, but I've been away from the computer more than usual...and I'm now 435 emails behind (on this list... ..even tho' they're political, I give 'em a glance before deleting.....) How 'bout if y'all slow down a bit...;^)

I'll try to get to 'em before the weekend...
