[C320-list] Baja HaHa - was: Sound Reducing Paint Reports?

[allan.field at comcast.net]

Orlando - That watch was good for MY Linda also!  I thought that you were taking off in 2007 with the Baja and your Linda was joining you in 2008?  Is your Linda going with you in 2008 or does she follow in 2009?  The C320 list will expect regular reports from afar when you do go off. - Allan
