  1. A GPS like Tom Tom is your friend. The Gettyburg war area is full of rich history you will also find that Bullrun is also a nice area if you are a war buff. The air and space museum out near Dulles Airport is worth a look if time is available. You will find that if you want to get a map of the Metro trains before you leave it will save you a lot of wear and tear driving. The out lying area are usually much cheaper to stay at than downtown D.C.. The final place that is very nice in the fall and is a neat place is Luray Caverns.

    what do you mean IF you were a betting man? Why I bet you plenty of times that you couldn't finish that bottle before you went to bed at Lak Air. Yes you did win though so you are still the man.

  5. While the Safety Data Sheet is a dry read the use of R.V. Antifreeze is not Highly Toxic and can be diluted and flushed without adverse effects to the environment. The dilution rate of 1 gallon of RV antifreeze diluted to 100 gallons can be consumed however it would taste bad and you will get gastric distress. It is a chemical that can and will prevent costly damage to engines and plumbing systems with a small impact on the environment in large quantities at this time its advantages far exceed its drawbacks. So use it instead of the toxic Antifreeze used in automotive aplications.

  6. I am sad to hear that Jennifer is doing battle again with such a serious adversary. I send both prayers and Karma to all of you. If you have an address that we can send cards of well wishes to Jennifer I am sure we can help support her in the times of low spirits and adversity. I know that this has been tough on both Leah and yourself and hope that you can draw strength from all of us and make it thru this current issue without harming your health or mental integrity.

  8. Down here in the USA you do not need a license for a VHF radio if you are a recreational boat less than 65 ft. We reserve channel 16 for hailing and for maydays only and are severely chastised if you use it for anything else. If you have the radio on it is to be tuned to channel 16 unless you are in conversation with another party. We use channel 68 mostly here for the fishing reports when our group is on the water and for the most part common sense seems to be the rule of the day. I would say though licensed or not if you need to call for help the last thing you will care about is whether or not you will get a ticket for making the call. For the price of the radio it is a great comfort to have it on board if and when you need it.
