Funny you should mention that, boats loaded, and meeting with our club in Oceanside today. I wasn't able to go meet them at Mission Bay, and sailing North to Oceanside! I'll be out there awaiting them! Gotta go!

I have as much fun spoiling him.
Well Scott, I killed two birds with one stone today. I had pile of wood from an old split rail fence topped with an old couch my son was using out in the garage. In addition to that, I need to setup 6 gallon tanks for my cruise but one of the tanks I have was full of old gas from last year. Well as some might know, I like big fires. I strategically spilled most of the old gas on this huge pile and spilled a little trail about 30 feet. I threw a match and whoosh - shook the house.
Good thing there aren't many folks about. Really pi$$ ma off though.

I can hear the conversation now..."but Ma, they told me that old gas had lost all its potency and wasn't supposed to burn"....
