A steel Roberts 43. Well built and strong, but in need of a lot of cosmetic work which I will commence next week. If all goes well I'll be "out there" this fall, if not, next spring, but no later than that. I'm getting rid of my cars so that I have lots of motivation to keep my nose to the re-fit grind stone! LOL

Regards,

Thomas

Bring her home to Astoria where prices on almost everything are half what the thieves in California charge! A fella needs a home base where he knows where to get what needs to be got, ya' know? Also going to build myself a 12' aluminum dink so I have a tender that won't get torn apart by barnacles and such. Nothing worse than a deflated inflatable, right?

Regards,

Thomas

Actually I owned a Billy Goat once. He was pretty easy to care for, would eat almost anything and I never had to give him a bath. The only problem was he didn't much care who he mounted, which was annoying......Now turkey's they are a tad more difficult to care for, but those suckers get right mean when they grow up, so the trick is to eat them before that happens I guess.

Regards,

Thomas

No, he was pretty serious about it, he even developed a ear notching system for reasons unknown!

Where is Malvernshire?
