one of my favorite inventions.. when i was a kid, i was the remote. "boy, go flip the channel" :D

Funny thing is kids these days dont even realise why you say "turn" the channel. Even better "dial" the phone number. Its gotta be a little confusing.

Hey Lurker how's Speed Racer doing? I should be in your neck of the woods the first weekend in June. Just a few doors up from you I think.

Hey Drew,
Speed is running good, looking forward to getting him back on the water soon.
I'll be out there Memorial Day 5/26, 5/27 &5/28. but not the next weekend 6/2 &6/3. Stop by for a beer or 6 if you are there that weekend.
If you are stopping by Charlie’s he's down river about 1/4 mile or less easy walking or floating distance.

Sounds good I will check the dates. And yes I will be staying at Charlie's/Brian's place. Glad to hear all is well and I will take you up on the beers.
