Actually I should have said 12' 10" sorry.

How is the boat going? How about your venture into the Marine Corps? Let us know what's happening.

Rick Newman

Great! Good to hear from you. It sounds like you are making progress.

My inlaws needed a shower installed instead of the bathtub they had as my father in law spends time in a wheelchair, walker, electric scooter and on of those lift-em-up recliners and a bathtub is useless to him. Their house is probably 90 years old and comes with its' share of problems and older construction techniques. Some of them are very helpful, lie the 1"x12" sheathing on all of the walls and ceilings means you don't have to find a stud to fasten sheet rock to. However it also means you have to work hard to rewire the pull cord switches and determine where the phantom wires come from and what circuits they are actually hooked to.

So my garage remodel and drift boat project remain stationary. But they have been helpful to me and my family for many years and their needs come before my pleasure.

I start school again next week and will see how being a formal student again progresses. My computer training has either come from the school of hard knocks or limited to just what I need to accomplish set tasks. I will be studying computer forensics and network security so it will be a big change from what I currently do with computers.

Warmest Regards,

The idea sounds good, let's see what happens. I haven't floated the Ronde since the 80's, it is a great float.

Rick Newman

Wil, I just returned from my dentists office. He has a place near the mouth of the Ronde. He only got thirteen fish, hooked and released last weekend on one day. He said the river is packed! I will do everything I can to get permission from the boss and find a way to pay for gas to get down there. Keep me informed on plans.

Rick

Wil, I live in Boise and I'm new to WBP.I have a few questions and Rick Newman recommended getting in touch with you. I tried sending a message but apparently we have to be "friends". I'll try adding you. Look forward to hearing from you. Brian

Wil, sounds like a success. I hope that you don't mind that I sent a "new" WBP to you. I made the assumption that you would be okay with it. Plus you get to show off your work! I haven't worked on my plans yet with the boss, however i have made arrrangements to work on Sunday so that I won't have the obligation to finish the work over the weekend hanging over my head.
