[Rhodes22-list] Safe return with a recycled 2007!!

[Theodore Boender]

My prime rib was cooked a perfect medium rare and was delivered in less than 15 minutes...you must have stayed in a different room. 

The plant is defiantly controlled chaos. Edvin and the rest of the hang appear to be cranking them out without Stan around. I hope he well on his way to recovery. Having gone to the plant twice, it's just not the same when he's not there. 

I just got back with my boat last month and live in Boston suburbs. We took the boat out last week for her maiden voyage out of Bristol, RI. They have an awesome State Park there with a really nice public launch. We were the only ones one the water. It was the perfect day to establish our relationship with the boat. 

I am not very experienced either yet I found the boat very easy to manage. Take it slow and don't use more sail then you have to. I am learning as I go and loving every minute. Looks like we are going to have a nice weekend in New England. Think I might sail in Boston Harbor this weekend if we continue to see warm temps. 

Take care
