Well, maybe a strayed a bit, but not a lot. The boat, well, as the late Paul Harvey always said "And now, here's the rest of the story." Paul Harvey was one of my many heroes.
Thanks for the complements, Chas,

And that was a great photo of the fish you caught that you posted. Have you heard the song I recorded back in the 80s with a band called "The Flatheads" called "Hook Line & Sinker" ?

chas, my friend, you don't know lil rhody at all ... the General Assembly and State administration is FILLED with Democrats ... 102 out of 113 members!!! And I am NOT saying that is the reason, but we are probably in the top 5 states in being in the worst shape ...

It's probably those 11 Republicans .
BTW, how did you let yourself get suckered into that grandkids/Disney thing? Happened to me last year and right after it I immediately cut them out of the will. I'm STILL recovering .

C'mon chas ... don't be a grouchy old man ... Disney is GREAT !!! ... admittedly, it was a very tiring trip as my son and HIS son are anal about getting to the parks early and staying late, but man, to see the looks on the grandkids faces, and to hear them say thank you about a thousand times was worth the pain and expense ... Unfortunately, both our kids are separated from their spouses - although sometimes that's not a bad thing - so we had our son and his two kids and our daughter and her two kids with us ... they live about 2 1/2 hours away from each other and don't get to spend a lot of time together ... seeing them interact was great ... the oldest is 14 and the youngest is 12 so they mix well together ... and while I'm no longer into the CRAZY roller coasters and such, I still love all the water rides and simulated stuff ... and "SOARIN'" is STILL one of the best 'rides' there ...
For those who haven't been, this will give you an idea of what it is like, but sitting in the suspended 'car' you actually feel like you are in a glider ... I've been on the ride many times and I STILL lifted my legs when it looked like I was going to kick one of the boaters at about :43 into the vid ...

Tony Ditto at 60 years old my wife and I still enjoy Disney. Yup I lift my legs too thinking I'm going to kick one of the boaters. Great ride!! We were in Orlando 2 weekends ago got another week long trip planned for October. We are frequent visitors to the area because my inlaws and uncle live within an hour's drive.
