I don't drink, Thom. Nor do I smoke. Sorry.


Wimp!

Most people drink. They can't help it. No willpower.

What a twit!

Why would they want to "help it"?

I *enjoy* a drink. Are you really stupid enough to deprive yourself of
pleasure just so you can demonstrate your "superior" will-power?


You are a victim. Yes, indeed! You are a victim of the small minded,
politically correct, ignorant, poverty stricken whiners that constantly seek
to prove that any form of pleasure is bad for you.

You are too insecure in your own beliefs to do what *you* want to do.
Therefore, you slavishly read the latest opinion polls in an effort to
formulate your own thoughts.

A real man would for his own opinions.
A real man would not need to say things like "well regarded" to defend his
standing.
A real man would drink if he wanted to.
A real man would smoke if he wanted to.


You are a complete wimp.


You are an utter disgrace to the male of the species.




Smokers are even weaker.

Smoking a cigarette would probably kill you.

You follow their lead.

You are a complete wimp! By your own admission, you are afraid to drink,
you are afraid to smoke, and you are afraid to sail out of sight of land.



And that's a fact.


Well, there you go! Eh?


Regards

Agreed, but it's not just because you don't drink.

SV

I don't drink

That because you've used up to much space with battery operated tools
and charging units!!!

Maybe if you had a drink once in a while you wouldn't mind turning a
screw by hand.

MUST be kept Aboard....
Makita drill...bullet proof
AC Skil dril....Best for bigger jobs
RotoZip kit....rarely used, but great when it's needed!
Weller soldering iron
B&D Cordless powerdriver with flex head...used all the time and a cheap
disposable item.

Living happily Ashore in the box....
B&D Grinder/polisher....the best!
Porter Cable profile sander...a great tool!
Husky Powerwasher...have yet to use
Firestorm circular saw....have yet to use-use the yard's table saw
Bosch Jig Saw....rarely used

Anything else I need can usually be borrowed from the yard's shop.

Hmm, most if not all of these things are kinda useless when you're
blue water sailing. Salty air isn't the best environment for
electronic gear, unless specific designed. You'll find out when you've
had a knockdown resulting everything being wet that those great tools
will not work, that while you most probably need them the most.

However, if you never leave the dock, it's a great collection of
tools!


Cheers!

Yeah...what use would a drill or soldering iron be on a sailing boat! Or a
screwdriver!!!

Bwahahahahaha! Remco Sock Puppet? Bwahahaha!

Ah, aparantly you're not familiar with "Blue water sailing", which of
course isn't a surprise. I should have known better, please accept my
appoligies.

Sure...I've only read about it and those blue water sailors NEVER need a
screwdriver or soldering iron!

Bwahhahahahaha!

Again my appologies, I didn't realise you've problems reading. If you
study my original post carefully, you'll notice I'm talking about
power tools. FYI, there are screwdrivers you can use without
electricity. I don't think I want to know for what you want to use the
soldering iron...

Cheers!

Your boat must be in really crap condition, if you neet to have all those
tools aboard.

Is it a very old boat, of does it suffer from a severe lack of maintenance?
