I'm not a fan of the squirty cheese. Well, maybe on fries, but I like my
philly steaks with American cheese.

It looks like it was the electric pump that caused the
problem. I took it out and the engine ran fine for a long
time today.

Horass would be lost... no dumpsters to dive.

Have you tried the freezing method of rendering the syrup?? Works like a
charm and reduces the remaining stove time to a 1/4 of what it normally
takes. It's just a matter of freezing the raw syrup and removing the ice.
The syrup itself does not freeze as quickly so you reduce the water
content
by a major factor. The result is the same.

I'm impressed that you knew you were in Bayboro. That place hasn't
changed much, except for the increased thru traffic. Most outsiders
driving between New Bern and Oriental see the intervening distance as 35
miles of partially paved swamp.

Bayboro could be missed if not attentive, but we love small towns and check
'em out carefully. Also the attorney who did the closing on our property in
Oriental practices there. Extremely nice fellow, and he lives in the
subdivision in which we bought a lot.


BTW you went right by our boat. Should have stopped in.

Which marina are you in? We did see a large junk at the dock at the Holiday
Inn (?) at the bridge in New Bern. Amazing boat, and one we'd love to have
seen in more detail.


Funny you should mention New York. It's been really wierd the last few
times I've gone there, people have been friendly and helpful (although
why do they have those gawd-awful accents?). Makes me suspicious!

Actually the New Yorkers must undergo some sort of osmotic adaptation of
southern hospitality soon after arriving. All we met were seriously nice
folk.

Captain Ratty's has the best damned mussels and seafood chowder. Then again
I've probably never had the real thing before.

This may be an area where perceptions are changing. A month or so ago I
spoke to a client from Texas who had just come back from a few days in New
York. He commented on how friendly and helpful he found New Yorkers on
this
trip. This is a guy who has been to the City many times over the years. He
felt that at this point New Yorkers' reputations for rudeness was no
longer
deserved.

Not sure I agree with him, but there you have it FWIW.

I travel to NYC about three times each year. The first few trips left me
with the impression that New Yorkers were hostile. Subsequent trips have
led me to believe that they simply don't deal with life in a mild manner.
Lots of bark, but very little bite. One of my closest friends there once
told me, "To understand New Yorkers, ya gotta live here a while. Then when
you think you got 'em figured out, they disappoint the hell outta ya. And
THEN you begin to understand 'em." I think he was being too hard on his
fellow knickerbockers.
