Evan-
I got to hand it to you. You take a lot of cr*p from people, but you always handle it with grace and good humor. You most definetely do not have a thin skin. Kudos to you.
This summer I'd be happy to go on a cruise with you (I think you are only 15 minutes from me) and follow behind your real one. Hopefully I should be road worthy by June if everything stays on schedule.
Regards,
Mike
