HEY

I had Kevins mass card in front of the computer so I would remember to post and still forgot !
I was in R.I. this past weekend and pulled into Kevins driveway!
House is empty and still for sale!
Just not the same ride to Charlestown !
Hope your cutting 00 lights and not letting Casey beat you up too much!
