Where do you keep that boat? And do you own or keep your boats in and out of ATB off I-45? I think i have seen the Fountain there. Also saw you at Texoma poker run. Nice ride, who did the interior?

Hey Tom:

I thought you were going to sell that boat. Did you get the
Sea Ray sold? I hope so. You have put too much into that 42 to let it go so soon.
I had a nice Camaro way back that I put a bunch into only to sell it for a wedding ring for a bi*** who is now my ex.
Anyway I'm glad if you are able to keep the nice toy!!!

Jerry.

I sold the Sea Ray in October, so I can keep the 42. Sorry to hear about the divorce. How is the 29? My girlfriend has been bi!tching at me for not having that boat any more. Tom

Glad you got the Sea Ray sold. That had to help the pocket!
That divorce was a long time ago. 14 or so years ago. Best thing that could have ever happened to me. You met my wife that I will soon be married to for 12 years. I have to be one of the luckiest guys alive to have someone like her. Just took me more than one marriage to get it right.

Your old boat is sitting in storage right now. Except for new batteries last summer I didnt have to do a thing to it. Considering all that can go wrong I am happy. Woops. I forgot I had a ruptured diaphram in one of the VST's. No big deal. Scared me thou. It was on the engine I did'nt replace. I thought it was blowing steam but it was raw fuel. Cant wait to get it out again.

When do you think you will be up and running again?

Later, Jerry.

Never done any poker runs. They have some at Lake of the Ozarks. It's about an hour away from our place at Truman lake. I suppose we should try it sometime. We plan to go over there some this year but it really gets rough. There are so many big cruisers. You have to watch out for the rollers they put out. Thats where the 42 would be nice. We would like to have a 35 but dont know if it will ever happen. For now we like our 29.
Have a great and safe boating year.

Jerry.
