Hello stranger

Well, hello there stranger

Have you lived here all your life?

Not yet!

Mike,

Funny you should strike this note my friend.

…during my…down stroke… in this awesome,piston chamber of life.I gave away all my personal boards w/ the exception of 3 collectors types and a windsurfer.

…Now that I outlived my Dr.'s predictions and see calm waters ahead…

…I have to build my stinkin’ quiver over again!

…That’s a GOOD THING , ain’t it ?

Anywho,On my …hun…death …I planned on being cooked rather than boxed, so I have specific instructions to burn me w/ my templates…

…Who says you can’t take it with you, when you go?

Rebuilding the quiver is a GREAT thing. That’s funny, Herb. Maybe you CAN take it with you. Me, I’d like to be tucked under an old oak tree root (after removal of still useful parts)where the beetles, ants, coyotes, foxes, and vultures can have at it. The tree can have the leftovers. I won’t be in there anyway. Mike

just paddle / boat me halfway to rotto and drop my sorry carcass over the side . The sharks will take care of the details …

[gee, i’m glad i didn’t take your skateys herb !]

at least you can still get around now eh ?

cheers
