[Rhodes22-list] Trailer Tiedowns

Sat Feb 14 17:58:48 EST 2015

Yes i always tie down the trailer very well.  Safety first.  I do resent and resist rediculous progressivism however.  Still the law passed.  At least someone came to their senses and realized they were living in the USA.  Glad to hear the 16 oz soda ban was banned.
Look out they might ban rum or private individuals sailing soon!!!
Ha!
