thanks,your totally right, I guess you can say the energy and excitement we both have towards each other is equally shared, and as everybody knows,your work is where you spend most of your time, so getting involved in his business is going to have us sharing alot more time and excitment together, he's very excited about being able to teach me the things he couldnt, and teaching me what he can and sharing his knowledge in what he knows! I guess in all the years we haven't known each other we have been almost exactly alike, kinda funny how much were alike!,almost damm scary!!!

Good news. I hope the business stuff all goes well. I know it can be trying at times working with family. But I can be well worth it also. Enjoy.

RollWithIt,

What part of Florida are you moving to? My boat shop is located in Tampa- right off of I-4 - easy to get to from whatever direction you are coming from....
