Did you know that if you start your boat motor, put it in gear, then
get into the water and touch the prop with your body, that it will
likely cut you?




Absolutely brilliant Kevin.

If you start it, put it in gear and jump in the water the boat will
move
away from you and you will not be able to touch the prop. In fact, you
won't see that boat again till it runs out of gas or runs into
something.

Is this something you have tried before Kevin?




Kinda depends on where you jump into the water, doesn't it,
****-for-brains? Jump in front of the boat, you might get clipped. If
the motor is running in reverse and you're behind the boat, you might
get clipped.

You're some boater, Hert. Whoops. I forgot. You're NOT a boater.




You and Kevin do make a good team Krause.

Yes, we are "boat-less" at the present time...and this after some 25 years

of boat ownership. sigh But you know the reason why we sold our 32

footer recently as I have posted it several time here. For that reason I

will not repeat the reason why.



Our kids grew up on our boats and on the lake (Lake Erie) since they were 6

month old babes. Both love the water and took to it instantly. Being able

to enjoy weekends, holidays and vacation together on the boat as a family

was absolutely priceless and provided them with memories they will never

forget.



We will buy a smaller boat when we buy our retirement house on the water in

a few years (or sooner). But that is not important at the moment.



Boat-less...indeed. But despite all this we remain *boaters*. Yes, one can

remain a boater without owning a boat. I would guess we spend more time on

the water and boating than you do. And you would never have seen a post

from me here during weekends, holiday or vacations when we owned a boat as

we were on it. You seem to post here 24x7 despite the fact that you claim

to own at least 4 boats. Absolutely amazing! Just how do you find the

time? ;-)



Despite all this the big questions to you Krause is: Why are you so

obsessed with the fact that I am boat-less for the moment and why does that

bother you so? Does boat ownership somehow make one more credible or more

important? You apparently think so...why am I not surprised?



Understand this Krause: I am comfortable with the fact that we do not own a

boat for the moment. My wife is comfortable with that fact. My kids are

comfortable with that fact. Despite that we are all happy and love each

other.



How can that be? I would rather be boat-less and happy than be the grumpy

old man you are. Unlike you I do not have to make up stories about owning a

phantom custom made 36 foot lobster boat. Unlike you I do not have to make

up stories about phantom fishing trips and being on the water. Unlike you I

do not post pictures of what I say is my wife that I lifted from the

internet. Unlike you I don't have to make up stories about my wife's

education. Unlike you I don't have to post pictures of my driveway and

brag about how long it is.



Yes, I don't have to make up stories about my life.....all things you do

right here....all things you have been caught in a lie doing so.



I am happy with my life, you obviously are not. You continue with the lies

about your fantasy life because you need some sort of validation from the

folks here...members of an obscure boating NG of all things.....a validation

that you need to show that are more than the grumpy old man eating cheese

doodles at his computer 24x7.



It must really suck to be you and to have to wake up each and every morning

to look in the mirror knowing you have to live another day as Harry Krause.



OUCH!!!
