    Well, the truck is just about packed, car is loaded up, boat it already there (thanks again to Steve M.) and by Weds I will be headed to Fl to live,.....its getting harder and harder to race each year with less and less sponsorship monies out there...so if you see me on the side of the road with a sign that says " will dance for food" be kind and scrape up some pennies...becuase it wont be pretty...
    Looking forward to seeing alot of FL guys that are on here then once a year...and boating all year round....
