Ron, allIhaddado is sign on----it worked! The next time, it dint(?)! I thought my first foray had caused the site to have a core meltdown. Oooooppppps. Then the powers that be (Brent for one) announced that it wasn't my elfin fingahz on the keys, t'was some other factor.

Truth, re my absence, is that I've been rebuilding two houses, two boats and doing a lot of medical shyte......Plus, trying to work on my WW II veterans projects. Are you guys watching the Ken Burns film?

Yar, Warren and Moikie----I trooooooooly love The Teddasaurus. The most recent issue of Sailing World magazine ran an article on the Figawi Race. In it, the was a pichah of the Sennitah, ensconced on some type of throne aboard his otherwise gorgeous Concordia yawl. He looks like some porcelline pasha. Just hacks the livin' shyte out of the otherwise exquisite profile of that classic yacht. If I could be assured my attempts would not melt down the power-grid of the eastern US, I'd try to scan the photo and post it. Just contemplating that multiplex task is enuff to give me a migraine.

Moikie, howja get a pichah of my girlfriend to use as your "avatar"??

Oh, and VRM, wish I could say the same (ar-ar-ar-oooogle!).........
