Thanks for the notification.
I wish that I had been notified of the date for the 2 times that I
showed up on the wrong date.
Once I got the wrong info from an out of date website and once I was
given the wrong date by the B&W resort itself.

month of September. I'm there now; 6 boats here already, plus one
'Likeamobile', hehe.

Darn, Wish I had a bit more notice... ;-)

Then again, first I have to figure out how to sneak the Mark Twain
out the gate, perhaps David Copperfield can help with that one. Then
come up with the bucks to truck it from Anaheim to Long Beach, then
retract the guide wheels and rig up a working rudder, then rig up
several big deck tanks to carry enough boiler water and #2 fuel oil,
and sail up the coast to Rio Vista. 8-0

Gee, do they make Bearing Buddies for Goldschlager Trailers?


Copperfield should be able to fill the tanks and transport the Twain
close enough to Rio Vista to steam in on her own. Just ask him!

P.S: Tell David that I'd be happy to babysit Claudia for a week while
you guys do that dangerous boy stuff. pant, pant

You mean Dave Kotkin? He used to be my neighbor. 'Geeky kid, he was. Claudia
says our town looks just like where she was born, a suburb of Dusseldorf.
I've been to Dusseldorf, and she's nuts. d8-)
