I am looking forward to Bill and I getting together on a lake soon. You know what would be fun is to have a mini boat met. Like Bills Dalcraft, and an Aqua Loop, CirCrafts, Wasps, Mighty Mights, motorized surf boards, Filvers, ten foot GW invaders, I am running out of names! But you know what I mean!
