================================
Actually, the boat I'm looking at has a 'take-apart' option.  It can be cut
into 2 or 3 pieces. If I buy the option, I can put the Viking in the back of
the van with my Loon without them being visible from the street.  I can
throw the old Lobo inside with them.  It will be seen through the windows,
but the security might not think the Lobo is a kayak.

I could take apart the Viking and leave it on my sheltered front porch.  The
security guard would not know that it was a 'boat'.  However, he might
classify it as a 'statue'.  The community association has to approve
statues.  A pink flamingo statue started that battle just before I moved in.
I didn't do it. I do have a pink flamingo statue.  Maybe I should throw the
pink flamingo in the van.

The 'take-apart' option is $1000 per cut.  Now, y'all start a fund for me.
If you get it together soon enough, it can go towards the take-apart boat.
If not, then it will help with lawyer's fees.

Thanks for your financial support ahead of time.  You've all gone a long way
towards keeping me smiling.
