Santa, Smanta!

Everyday is Christmas with Goerge W. Bush in the White House!

Everyone gets a piece of the ever growing government pie!

Free pills, tarriffs, pork, you name it!

Sorry, Santa Bush is not giving more freedom this year, or next year or
ever. Quaff a few government pills and it won't feel so bad. Don't worry -
your kids and grandkids that survive the war will be paying for it!

I didn't get a single thing other than a couple
lame Christmas cards.

So, I biked to West Marine today and bought
myself a new handheld GPS. I ended up getting
the Standard Horizon Magnum 40. It doesn't
have mapping features like the Magnum 50 but
is only cost $179 vs. $299. It comes with a
PC cord that allows it to input it's position
to my laptop on which I have digital charts
and the Cap'n and Offshore Navigator
programs. (all bootlegged, of course)

One thing the Standard Horizon has that no
other handheld I researched is a THREE YEAR
Warranty. Take that, Bobsprit!

S.Simon

I figured out why I don't get presents for
Christmas. Why by stuff when it's so easy
to get most stuff free?

Smart Aleck! My mooring doesn't drag. I will be able to
use the new GPS while cruising the Bahamasin a month or
two.

I'll think about you snowed in up there in the hinterlands
playing with your trains and hoping for a thaw.

I do kendo and iaido, which have gotten unhappily popular since _The
Last Samurai_. Anyway, I've been wanting a new sword; I've lusted for
a couple of years for a blade by Fujiwara Kanefusa. His price is 2~2.5
million yen and creation time is pushing a year; but, Hey!, you only
live once. So, for this Christmas, I placed an order for a new sword!

Ho! Ho! Ho! Prepare to repel boarders!

What kind of sword? I've got plenty of swords. My favorite is an

I did some touch up on the handle myself.

Why be sorry. Somebody paid extra for that three-
year replacement warranty which is really just an
insurance policy. It means nothing other than some
fool paid for what I got free from a manufacturer
who is willing to stand behind his unit for three
years. This should tell you something. It should
tell you the manufacturer expects his unit to
hold up for AT LEAST three years of use whereas
Garmin's paltry one-year warranty says they
believe their units are good for AT LEAST one
year. Hahah a hahah ah ha h ah ha! You get
what you pay for. If some fool wants to buy
as a gift an inferior unit and then pay extra
to insure it then it just goes to show your
friends are almost as ignorant as you are.

Most people would call it a "katana." Gendaito, shinken, and a whole
buncha other Japanese words are all appropriate; but katana pretty
much describes it accurately.

But why do I suspect you're ****ing with me? I'm a practitioner, not a
collector; but I don't think "authentic" samurai swords have engraved
and painted dragon handles. Those are usually reserved for cheap
Chinese or Indonesian knockoffs made with stainless steel blades,
commonly referred to as "wall hangers." No reputable dojo would ever
allow the use of such a sword.

If there is such a thing as an historic katana with a carved dragon
handle, you've certainly harmed its value by doing your own touchup on
it. And if you're not ****ing with me, I apologize for my cynicism.
I'm just *very* excited about it and maybe a bit defensive, given that
my wife occasionally reminds me that we could have bought a new car
instead.

It's folded steel. Made in Spain.

Yes, that's a valid assumption when it comes to the drive train
which the long warranty covers. It doesn't mean the Kia is
a better car overall but it does mean the manufacturer is
building the parts that are warranted for such a long period
of time to last that period of time.
