I would love to run Lauderdale, but I am afraid of my boat being renamed "broken Promises" if I no-sho on ya one more time. Ray is used to my troubles already, I will shake it down up in Palm Beach this weekend, then if all goes well, lets plan a raftup down lauderdale way over the next few weeks.

I am going to be at some even if it KILLS ME. I was to have my knee replacement dec 20th but got canceled, and to top it off the docs office called me today saying comp did not get back to them last week about a adjustment on the bill. I went off big time told them it better be thurs or else I will get another doc which I have done in the past. since may of 04 I have had four knee surgeries by 4dif docs the last one is doing the replacement. so IF i CAN REHAB BY SPRING AND START MY OWN CO UP AND RUNNING I should be able to get the parts for the boat and theres a couple of guys from hear that want to race so if they can help get it to a race with money labor where racing if not we will get some guys together and go watch a couple of opa races and I would love to get back and see the worlds well good luck with your ride. art out

Air Time. I've had both my knees replaced. Did my own physical therapy. They work great! better than the old ones I beat the crap out of. Watch out for the addiction to Vicadin. You'll be on pain medication for the 1st week and a half.
