OJ

One doesn't! Maybe iceboating. Had a DN once upon a time.

No, Char and I are going on a cruise, leaving Miami january 31, and our first stop, on Sunday Feb 2 is Grand Cayman. I'm going Catamarin sailing to Stingray City. If I did the Math right that's 40 days.

Glad someone wondered about that.

Hi Don,

May I carry your luggage for you to Grand Cayman? I won't get in the way.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

I don't know if you drink or not, BUT, the Tortuga 151 Rum they make there will definitely inspire you splice the main brace.<img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle> You could run a lawn mower on it as well.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

I would be rooting for Michigan if they were in the Fiesta Bowl.

I guess I should say...GO BIG 10.

Merry Christmas,

Paul

Paul,

I'd love to have someone along to lug our baggage around, but I'd have to count you as big bag, not a small carry-on, and that means either my wife or I have to go without alot.

Go Blue, Go Bucks, and remember Frank Wolverines eat Gators!

Merry Christmas we are having a white one, expecting 1 to 2 feet of snow today! <img src=icon_smile_dissapprove.gif border=0 align=middle> Suspect its getting close to a point where I could step the mast, put on those ice sails and sail out over the lake!

Don,

How much does an extra 300lb bag cost?<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

I'm in a real pickle now!!!

If I understand Frank's post, the Wolverines are playing the Gators.

My wife is a GATOR! We even have the little Gator dude in our front yard...just to shine on the Tennessee fans up the street. 

I'll be treading in deeeeeeeep water this year during the bowl games.

To make matters worse, her two brothers are Seminoles...YUCK!<img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle>

Here in GA, it's not wise to cut down Volunteers, Seminoles, Bulldogs, Gators or Hurricanes. It is OKAY to cut down Alabama.

I'll be branded a "Stinkin Yankee Devil" for sure.<img src=icon_smile_evil.gif border=0 align=middle>

SHHHHHHHHHHH....be vewy vewy quiet....go Big 10!<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Paul,

Yup! Michigan plays Florida in the Outback Bowl. My daughter lived in Gainsville, Florida for a couple of years and is a Gator fan. She even threatened to disown me for harassing her Gator loyalties. Oh, well, it all in fun. I sent her a picture of a Wolverine eating a Gator, and she had her brother who was visiting put Gator screensaver and wallpaper on my computer.

I can understand your family issues, but I'm to involved to be much help.

Hi Leigh Marie,

You're very observant. I did purchase our boat from Torreson Marine. Everyone there was very helpful. On the day I picked it up, for example, it was Saturday, Dec. 21, and COLD, COLD, COLD! To make a long story short, we had problems with our trailer lights and the owner of Torreson Marine, Gordon Torreson, worked out in the bitter cold with me for an hour fixing the lights. Talk about a great guy! I didn't realize he was the boss until my salesman showed up at 10:30. I was floored.

Way to go, Ben! Gordon Torreson is a great guy, and he is always there! He was there on the Holidays we were sailing, Saturdays and Sundays, and all other days. You probably worked with either Jeff or Peter and they are both great guys as well. You'll probably not get back there again, but if you do they would be happy to help you. We just got a slip next door at the Muskegon Yacht Club (Yeah!) so I won't be there as much, but when I need Service, they're the people I go to.

Have fun on the boat!

Duane, No Michigan is not playing January 3rd and I am rooting for OSU, haven't you heard my cheerGo Bucks. While they (OSU) deserves to be in the Fiesta Bowl, if they win, there will be mucho discussion (I hope not here) about who really is the best team in the country. OSU, or Iowa.
