He did a couple with Fountian also. Sure is weird but most of his stuff has always been different to say the least.

That's reasonable. I figure the $ will be worth less than the peso if Obama keeps up.:ack2:

Lady Arran had a boat like that that she raced in Class II or III in England. I think it was called Skein Dhu. After it bit her in the ass a couple of times, she had a big party and burned it in her back yard so that nobody would get killed in it.

They are laminating in $795,000 worth of one hundred dollar bills in the hull. :sifone:
