I was preparing my taxes and I was looking over the expensses last year...
OH MY WORD! I spent way more than I thought I did..My annual CC statement printout looked like it got hung up on DEFENDER, , it seemed to go on for pages. Then add Lic's permits, insurance, fuel, dockage boatyard, marinepartsexpress, etc...then we start talking fishing gear which goes on and on... I wonder how long I can keep this up. As much as I love it it is hard to justify the cost. You simply have to look the to look the way when the bill comes.
