[Rhodes22-list] Wanna Be with questions

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

I do have opposable thumbs, and prefer Kraken to the Captain for my Rum.    I may drag my knuckles a bit , but am at least Genus homo if not quite human (by my estimation).   
Thanks Chris and Bill.    I was impressed by the cruising album of Enosis.  I may contact you guys in the next couple days.   Its been crazy busy at work.    Bill, I'd love pointers on cruising Lake Erie, and will certainly accept your invitation.

My number is 260-578-0178.
