You can always rent a small 11' Snark/Sunfish for a couple of days and see how you like it first. There are easy to learn on (1Mast sail). I used to have a 16' Hobie cat that was cool and easy to operate. It has a Jib sail on it too, very cool to use the trapeze system.

Gonna start production on Pyrates' II (live by the code). It will be more of a rocker and not an Island vibe.

Aye mate. I gots me one 'o those and dey good fer practicing with a set of good cans but I must be warning ye, they can produce alot 'o irritatin' digital noize. I've tried mine with and w/o a power supply and 4 AA's works de best jest make sure dey are fresh. I've recorded with mine and get some decent tones however don't git to too close to de monitor or other analog devices cause it can pick up 60 cycle hums and digital fragments especially with da mid frequency presets.

I believe everyone has given you good advice on the theme parks here. We went this past weekend and it was so cold and windy it felt more like Chicago than Orlando. Magic Kingdom is a must. The atmosphere there alone is worth every cent. We hit POTC first thing, great ride, cool vibe, and fun for the kids. I tried taking video with the digital camera but they didn't come out well. Swiss Family treehouse is cool. Not anything to do but fun to walk up and around on. Thunder Mountain-Awesome roller coaster...ride it!!! I went on Space Mountain last time it's great also. Splash Mountain-Excellent. Was cold as hell afterwards being all wet and with how windy it was but fun fun fun. Haunted Mansion is OK...great fx. Had to warm up some in there hehe! Hall of Presidents was educational and they look realistic. G.W. Bush spoke and didn't mis-pronounce anything. Buzz Lightyear closed-Bummer! Did alot of other stuff too some good, some ok, but the whole experience of Disney's Magic Kingdom is still #1 of all the parks IMO. Did Animal Kingdom all day Sunday, but was quite disappointed. Just seemed like a really big Zoo although it had tons of educational stuff and lots of info on animals. The Safari ride is worth the time if you have a park hopper and the River Rapids ride looked really fun, I gotta try it next time. But Dinoland for the kids wasn't at all what I expected, you actually had to PAY to play games in a Disney park you already paid to get into. Can't see it!!! The rides were free but I'm not paying to play after I've already dished out $$$ to get in...sorry!! The main rides like the Rollercoaster, Safari, and Rapids are nice but if you only have limited time spend it at Epcot instead or if you have park hopper get a fast pass for the AK rides and do them. I only had 2 days to do the Disney thing, it takes at least 5 or 6 to get in everything you might want to do. Next time it's Epcot for sure and MGM. Downtown Disney looks like alot of fun--shows, clubs, concerts. I gotta go back when I have more time.

Our Prayers are with you and your family. I lost my Father from the same, so I know what your going through. Hang tough and keep the faith.

Ahoy th'er DeadCrow. Is this recorded or sumin' in the making? Ye 'ave a link fer yer band mate?

Les is 'Da man. Is he still playing Carl Thompson basses?

I only live 3 hours away. Haven't been there since '91, but we are Disney-bound this weekend. Three days of park-hoppin', thrill-ridin', fast-passin', exhausted til I can't stand fun. I'll let you know the results and what's worth seeing.

Sounds like a good concept movie.

HA! I wuz a-thinkin' 'o sumin' else when I saw tis' title. But I won't go th'er. I know, sux doesn't it? Ye spend all that time puttin it up then ya 'ave ta tear it all apart. Maybe a virtual light projected tree is what we need. Turn on the lamp for 31 days then turn it off...case closed.

Ok these flippin' lyrics just never made sense but the song has a great guitar groove. I was listening to this today and nobody would probably ever guess it so I added part of the chorus, should be easy now. Tidify da, sinmah gough dah hep haing ding fum gogamamo.
