'Scotty said: plonk' is the sound my gig makes.

My goes "splurt"...


Mine slips into the water with barely a ripple, and with the oars
moving gently and effortlessly, pulls away smoothly as a swan
swimming, with a soft sibilant hiss as the bow slices through the
water. It is indeed a truly uplifting and educational
experience, especially for those whose tenders go "plonk" and
"splurt".

_My_ boat has a gig from time to time, for elegant transfer of
the captain from yacht to shore and back. You and Snotty, it
would seem, have giggles instead.

Clearly, we've tripped over different English dialects. Gigging
frogs? Nope. Gigging pubs, yes. And I know about pithing toads,
though for Scotty's benefit I'd better explain right now that
it's not a lisped description of his usual excretory functions.

If it was us, that would mean the engine would suize up in February!

I'm trying to be optimistic here, Katy! Sheesh, you know something
expensive will loom up....

Must be nice...it finally stopped raining here...for what? you may ask?
How's about 58 F with the wind blowing out of the NW at 20 mph at the lake
at 3:30 pm? And it's supposed to go down to below 40 F there tonight, so
we
came right back home...there were whitecaps on Muskegon Lake and the idea
of
spending the night on the hook with no heater just didn't seem like a fun
thing...Maybe it will turn summertime tomorrow (miraculously...)

Too bad we can't swap some of that weather.

So you sneal up and pith on toads?
