Good evening, radu...d:o)

I was afraid to start posting...I had only been reading FR. When I couldn’t contain myself, I FReepmailed him and told him what I wanted to say. That didn’t last long...he told me to start posting myself. LOL!!

Heck, I’m antsy as we pull out of the driveway. LOL! I don’t like travelling.

But now your trip is out of the way and you have some time to have fun with the family. :-)

LOL! That’s pretty much what I did! Then he had you FReepmail me and the two of you convinced me to post something myself.
Hard to believe that was almost 14 years ago.

Yes, but we have lived long enough to have had the enrichment of knowing them.

Welcome to the Canteen, pollyshy. I like that!

Thanks, Delta...

"Coast Guard 52-foot motor lifeboat Intrepid (Station Coos Bay), which is one of the four used in the Coast Guard. These boats are built to withstand the most severe conditions at sea and are capable of effecting a rescue at sea even under the most difficult circumstances. They are self-bailing, self-righting, almost unsinkable and have a long cruising radius. Photo by PA3 Anthony Juarez, USCG.
