Watch out for the wild ponies around Duck. Go to the hunt club and climb the tower. Unless you have 4wd you don't want to drive onto the sand at the north end. We had some good times at Duck and the surrounding environs. Bill Uffelman Las Vegas NV

In the 1950s a family friend who owned a huge shell/rock shop in Morro Bay salvaged lots of stuff off the destroyers. In the process he found huge jade boulders. His son and I burned the cordite that was in the salvaged brass shells -- great fun for 10 year olds! Bill Uffelman Las Vegas NV

Congratulations. Ask her some day if she has used Monarch Butterfly life cycle as an in room project. My father "wrote the book" as he was a science teacher and professor of education at U of Delaware. A retired teacher who baby sat for our kids about 10 years after my dad died made the...

Checked with my counterpart in SLC and he sent the following info -- I know it isn't corned beef but there is always hope 8>)) "The closest thing I can think of is the pastrami burger at crown burger. 300 west North Temple right downtown. " Bill Uffelman Las Vegas NV

Classic case of "words matter" -- the 700 pounds are presumably people/dogs while the extra 450 is engine fuel, gear, etc. Any way the CD 16 is a neat boat. Bill Uffelman Las Vegas

From Fluid Marine web site -- Tests performed on the 16' Cruiser, with the maximum legal load aboard (700 lbs) **************************** You wrote: I've figured gear and passenger weights and should come in close to the 1150 max when fully loaded and the tanks would bring the weight forward...

https://www.acck.edu/ics/ for history It's a good poem with lots of meaning. Local paper suggested visiting the Nevada Veteran's Home this weekend (or any time) and reported that the Veteran's Cemetary at Boulder City NV is the second busiest in the country -- guess it is related to all the...

Sorry to hear this. Hope all goes well and she will be back singing opera soon! Bill Uffelman Las Vegas NV

My wife ran a convention at the Gaylord Hotel in Nashville which began two weeks ago yesterday and ended a week ago yesterday. All of the venues are now under 8 to 10 feet of Cumberland River water -- as the Yes I Can! kids and many of the other attendees are disabled to some degree it would...

"Caught" Halibut at Pea Soup Andersen's in Gustine CA (I 5 south of I 580) last night and at Syrah in Santa Rosa this evening. Both were grilled and tasty! Price at Andersen's was 1/2 of Syrah but wine country ambience versus off the freeway stop made up for most of the difference. Just a...

I wish her well. All of this makes me think of flying military standby in the 1960s on military and civilian aircraft -- hurry up an wait and what do you mean a 6 stop flight from SFO to PHL? Bill Uffelman Las Vegas NV

FWIW son and his wife emailed at 1AM PDT (10 AM Paris I think) they were boarding a flight in Paris for Houston - - stated regret that they didn't get to sail across the Channel or drive through the Pyrenees or get Central American passport stamps. At 4:30 PM (1:30 AM tomorrow Paris) emailed...

Kids finally got a train to Paris today -- plan drive to Madrid, plane to Costa Rica, plane to Houston and maybe they will see their kids on April 23 -- the twins will be 8 that day. No telling when the Houston real estate will close but rate lock ends Saturday! Told him they should have...

Our son Brian and his wife are stuck in the UK mid-move to Houston. The grandkids are with "the other grandma" in Illinois -- Sandy brought them over at Easter to await the move. The UK house is sold but the title company in Houston will only accept original signatures -- no Faxes -- to close...

Cool! Before we headed to Stanford in 1958 where my dad got his doctorate in education, he was head math and science teacher in Portland -- he taught at Mt Tabor. He used to take kids on archaeologic and geologic field trips around the state -- sometimes I got to tag along and I loved it...

An RF 246 was shipped to Europe for a two year tour. They put it on a float on ship service that moves yachts back and forth from the east coast to Europe. http://www.ecaptain.com/node/233 http://web.mac.com/islandrovercanada/iw ... LCOME.html Bill Uffelman Las Vegas NV

Our deepest condolences. Your mother is definitely in a better place. My dad died unexpectedly in 1989 just before his 69th birthday -- sometimes it seems like yesterday. My mother will be 90 in October and every time we talk on the phone, I can tell she is getting "things in order" so that she...

EXCELLENT! Bill & Jane Uffelman

Our best wishes for Joe. I recall a transplant surgeon describing the operation -- he held two lives in his hands as he was harvesting from a donor and implanting in the recipient -- definitely God like. Bill & Jane Uffelman Las Vegas NV

I figured the "I 5 tour" would be kind of an "endless summer" event. Start at the top or bottom of the left coast, head south or north then head east on one of the Interstate cutoffs to go home when that segment of the tour is over -- if boat is not needed at home park it at an appropriate...
