No question 8 or 9 is overkill. I have acquired them over the years. I mentioned the number for comic effect but dang if some of you guys ain't hard of hearing humor.
Hardly overkill. Think of how many backups, backups, backups...you have! Plus you can always play charterboat bareboat first timer: "I used all my anchors up!" Couldn't wait to use that one in a funny way instead of bringing it up as an old shibboleth.

Not hard of hearing, but what was that you said, 'cuz David learned me yesterday that dementia and hearing loss go hand-in-hand.

No humor left here, I'm afraid. But the Good Humor ice cream truck is still in my memory. Anyone remember them & Friendly's ice cream stores, home of the Awful Awful? I think Friendly's still around in Massachusetts.
