Well Dave, if you've been a working cowboy most of your life, you probably 
have enough stamina left over in retirement for three normal men. As for 
shoveling horse poop, I think a little more of that would have given me the 
mind set I needed for boat work.
And you're very lucky to have sons who may want to get involved. 
Just remember: God made the human mind incapable of the foresight to truly 
gauge the amount of work necessary on a boat. You will be continually amazed 
at the disparity betweeen expectation and execution. But He did that for a 
reason: if He had given us the foresight, no one would ever buy a boat. And 
He wants us out there. Because sailing brings us closer to Him.
Good luck,
Paul
