YOU do something, like...take up a summer sport? C'mon, bud, there are lotsa alternatives...you don't have to languish all summer long! Who's languishing? I've GOT a summer sport! I sit on the deck and drink beer. Sometimes I vary it, and drink wine. Sometimes I become intensely active, and walk down to a store and restock the beer and wine. Occasionally I let the insistent howls suggesting I fix something around the cabin stir me to rise and survey the potential project; where-upon, after close study, I retire to the deck and carefully plan the project. |

You should definitely get yourself a boat. As it is, everybody thinks your a crotchety old coot who sits around and drinks all day. If you got a boat, they'd call you "fisherman", and you wouldn't have to change your daily activities one bit. -- //-Walt // Official Beer Taster for usenet // |

But I sure hope I live long enough to deserve the tribute. ObSki: In the mean time: skis should reach to the base of your thumb when your arm is held vertical. Anything shorter cannot and does not provide adequate directional stability, and contributes to injury, plague, and harm to small mammalian animals. |

The UPS guy just delivered a Mystery Parcel from Foothills Ski and Bike that is just exactly that length. I wonder what it could be.
