Mike, If this is the DG800S I saw at the JR Aerotow I am so envious! That model is the most top of the line ship I have ever seen. I was enquiring with the guy that had one, he didn't really lead me to believe it would be practical bringing them into the USA. Looking forward to flying with

Um, dude, you're worrying me. But, I feel your pain. You'd have 4 Olympic golds by now. But beaver stampedes? There is only one scenario where that sounds like fun. Probably more likely to happen in the channel than on a frozen lake ;-) Thanks to all who put together and helped run the '0

It is interesting living here in Madison, Wisconsin. It is the curling capitol of the US and probably has the only hobby store in the country with a sign in the window that says "Curling Supplies". RememberCurlers have big stones. Mark Miller --- Tom Kallevang <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >

Argh! I was once stranded in Quebec. We flew up for a weekend of skiing and an ice storm came through. Four of us were standed in a micro-timeshare-condo for three days. We got three stations on the little 19" TV and every single channel had CURLING 24 hours a day. Gotta love Canada. -Ben
