You are just being a troublemaker... And? ;-P Ya' know if you have all that extra time on your hands you could take a stroll to the local post and send me off a set of plans for that sca19, sweeeeeeeet! Thanks. I may just do that someday. If I ever finish them. I would even consider sailing something like that This I have GOT to see ;-) Of course I would wear a hat and funny glasses, but then again, I do that now. Don't we all? Ooops! No. I wear a funny hat but normal glasses. Sorry. Steve |
