    CASH???

    We don't fit into any of those groups. I have always been paid monthly at work with direct deposit. We keep a large amount in savings accounts we can write checks on when needed.

    Rearming an inflatable PFD

    I hate to admit it but I have had three of them to go off. Due to my illness, I have lost all balance and seem to be prone to falling off the boat slip. I have been able to rearm them each time and then they are ready for the next swim. I do wear them at all times when on the boat and the slip.
