On the 'PocoLoco' out of Deale, MD,

Losta boat?? did I hear lobsta boat??? Oops sorry John my auto
tracking system painted you in error, apologies again:-)
But we can probably expect a brand new Krause "my father" story, I feel
yet another fire tug welcome into NY harbour???? or maybe his father's
biggest dealership in the NE sold the navy that particular boat????
maybe nuclear fichts all across the stern??? maybe that's why they melt
down or have been melted down?? it's all maybes really the vagaries of
medication mean his mind can't be predicted; coming to a NG near you:-)
Well done eisboch you must & should be proud of him, best thoughts for
his return & thanks from all in the coalition.
Just hope mum doesn't buy 'him" his own boat also:-)
