Bird, does it show Hartfield? I'm about 8 miles southwest of there. It should show Saluda - I'm about 8 southeast of there.

How much river frontage do you have?
Tell Bird that you can't get here from there.

Mark, since my last message, I went to my Street Atlas, USA, on CD and found Grafton; about straight north up 708, so now I have a pretty good idea of where you are./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif Nice country around there; haven't been too close to your place, but Williamsburg, Virginia Beach, etc.

Bird - Yes, it is pretty country. I really enjoy it. The roads get pretty thick with tourists starting this time of year and lasting until October or so, so there must be something somebody thinks is worth seeing or doing around here. I wish they'd go home, personally. At least I know how the folks in Maine feel when they see my license plate. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Do you own a boat? you have a very nice piece of land --I would love to have some waterfront but out of my price range at this point. After a good rain I have a few hundred feet of waterfront (ditchfront). /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Gordon - I hold firmly to the tenet that a boat is a hole in the water that you pour money into. That said, I have a canoe, and a 15 hp 14' aluminum Starcraft outboard fishing boat. I used to have a 75 hp 18' McKey fiberglass boat, but it was nothing but, um, a hole in the water that I poured money into. /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

Mark you are a smart man I used to work at a marina and the money hole is right, but it kept us busy. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Mark, I talked to the dealer here and he just got in the light duty models. The HD model in a 6 ft is about $1500 and the light duty model is about $600. He was going to take one of the light duty models home with him and try it out this weekend (after a little rain). Hope it works nearly as well as the expensive one as I would buy the $600 one Monday if he says it works nearly as well.

Mark, like the bumper stickers are starting to say here as the press on housing continues and the freeways are jammed beyond use:
