for that matter, why not install a deep freeze and an automatic

Sorry, Katy. You and Scotty simply sound foolish carrying on about an
extra radio and two antennas....as if that's a LOT of gear. My 35s5 has
a fairly modest electronics pack...tridata, ST400 AP, the stuff you
find on most boats. I have no microwave and the propane oven is
shutdown for good, until I decide it's worth coverting to CNG. I'm
adding a GPS. I probably won't install the Raytheon radar this season,
which was given to me. Oh...and I have a fireboy system for the engine
and a CM detector...I guess those are also not worth carrying, right
Katy?

It's not just the radios, Robbie...it's the whole shebang...the
whole glut of existence you've jam packed on that boat...emphasizing
your materialism and then you turn around and claim it's for your
kid...well, we know different...using Thomas as an excuse for your
proclivity for accumulating acres of "stuff" in lieu of sailing is a
shallow attempt...you had this behavior well before Thomas...stop
using him as your excuse...he's too cute and should respect his
father for being well-grounded rather than so flighty...
