The Whole Point: Why not a cruising Multi?
 
Gawd, you guys are making me drool! Fortunately Mr.H is
planning to make eggs 'n bacon 'n toast 'n jam today. While
not homegrown we're doing the best we can with Land 'o Lakes
free-range eggs, West Virginia brand thick slice bacon, a
fresh baked-in-the-store flax seed loaf, Damson plum
preserves, and locally made apple butter...

Oh, my God, fresh eggs, from free ranging chickens too,
I'll bet! Home cured pork and home made jam. Fresh baked
bread. Brings back 1949 - 1956 for me, when I lived on a
farm. Please tell me the butter is fresh churned, and
that you and the cats and the dogs all have a bit of warm
cream in your wiskers.

I'm going up to make breakfast now.... thick cut slices
of bacon from my buddy's pigs [ he finished them off with
last year's maple syrup, carrots, milk and apples] I got
a 150 lbs of home-grown pork in the freezer. I'll also
fry up some fresh eggs... fresh like I go out and collect
them from the chook coop. The lady up the road trades us
fresh home baked bread for eggs.... I'll slice some of
that up and toast it.... does that ever go down nice with
homemade butter and the jams/jellies we made last month.

CM,

I know by now, Breakfast is over for you but 08:17 here.

Thought I might give you a breakfast recipe; " Eggs Golden" A couple
of those fresh Eggs hard boiled (vineagar in the water to loosen the
shells) A slice of good Canadian cheddar, with milk and flour; made into
a roue. Toast that fresh home made bread. Separate the boiled eggs from
the yolks. Chop the whites up, put on toast, pour cheese sauce over
them, and crumble yolks over the top.

Serve with a side of fresh beacon and fresh perked coffee; ----- and
get ready for Sunday Football ( if you can get "Yankee TV")

I've made myself hungry enough now but I don't have fresh home made
bread or eggs or beacon. I'll have to make do. Fresh biscuits will help.

When you say you can not understand Trophy hunts at all, were you able
to discuss with your father how he felt about killing that Elephant?


Yeah... he was the game ranger in the area and was requested to destroy
rogue bulls or cull individuals that had taken a liking to the village
gardens. He also handled leopards, lions and crocs. He only hunted for food
otherwise... bushmeat being the only meat available, but wisely decided to
keep some of the ivory.

Well thats good news, I thought he was just collecting Ivory, Umbrella
stands and braclet making supplies.

We have so many deer down here they need some serious culling to
protect drivers. I saw a huge doe a few days ago next to Johnson Space
center, She had been hit by a car and had a rear leg swinging on just
skin with the bones broke. I did not have a rifle in the car and tried
to get the guards at NASA to shoot her. She ended up running into the
bush while the guards stood there with there thumbs up there asses.

Heh that sounds good Haggy....

I gotta say I like the farm beside the ocean thing..... best of both
worlds.

I bet Bobsprit phoned in an order to MacDonald's for a dozen egg
MacMuffins.
He'll try and waddle that off with a run on his treadmill while watching a
DVD of the countryside and spraying some air freshener to simulate the
environment. :-)
Cough, cough...gag!
[mandatory Bobsprit troll since he claimed he wasn't going to troll today]

Our dog brought home a piece of deer leg Friday night. Came in
and set it on the bed. Lisa was not too happy. I assume one of
the neighbors shot one.

Heh... that sounds like it would be good. I'll try it tomorrow.

I don't watch much TV and hardly ever watch or follow team sports. Am Cup is
an exception. We get American TV... most channels.

"Capt. Rob" wrote in message

We buy a boat for no practical
reason. Oh, we can defend the sailboat with many

arguments. A person
or
family does need an outlet, a way to relax one's mind, to

bring
friends
and family closer. But there are less expensive ways to

do that than
owning a yacht.

I bought mine to live on... which I did for 9 years.

And that brings us back to beauty. Picture a sailboat
in your mind; a long slender crescent moon topped with an

impossibly
large triangle of cloth, a floating pendulum of grace

designed to
harness the power of the wind. It's quite an amazing

thing really. The
experience, as a boat heels over in that first gust of

wind, sails
powering up, the dramatic effort as tons of hull balances

and slices
through the water, is nothing less than orgasmic.

I hope this isn't an example of the writing skills used in

your book.

Sailing isn't about speed. It isn't about comfort and

sure as hell
isn't about how far you sail.

The hell you say..... what's it about then.. a dock condo

in a mega
city? if it isn't about comfort why do you go on and on

about bunks and
AC and.... well, point proven.

You could spend a lifetime sailing on a
small lake and never need anything more.

Bull****.... unless you're skeered of the big water.


Or you could sail across an
ocean. It's all the same as it all brings you back to

that first magic
moment.

Put down the crack pipe Bob....

The rest, all the rest are only details.
If you want to get there faster, buy a speedboat. If you

don't like
the
heeling, buy a trawler.

How about just buying whatever you like.

The beauty of sailing is in the inefficiency of
it all in a world that forces us to be efficient, the

impractically in
a life that demands practicality.

Say what??!!! The efficency is movement without

ependiture of fuel....
try it sometime on your sailboat. Contary to what you

believe... the
engine does not have to be on for the boat to move.

Trying to force practicality onto a
sailing vessel is like adding a trailer to a Jaguar E

Type, or adding
a
hull and taking away the heeling and beauty of a

sailboat.

That's just a dumb statement. You're envious that Jeff's

Moby-Dock has
more real estate than your Dock-Condo

So...two all the aspiring dreamers out the Stay away

from a boat
like Jeff's. It's an abomination. It's ugly plain and

simple. Want to
be practical? Buy a minivan, but don't tarnish a dream of

sailing with
a boat that looks and sails like one. Buy a sailboat that

fits your
dream, that picture in your mind. It can be a Catalina 30

or a Rhodes
19 or a lavish Sweden 39. The joys of a keelboat are

boundless. There
are SUV's that are faster than a Miata, but no one

seeking a sportscar
would trade that feeling for extra seats....except maybe

Jeff.

"joys of a keelboat"???..... this coming from a fin keeler

is nothing
short of hilarious.

I know , I know... you sat here and crafted this lure for

Jeff. I
apologize.... there was just so little in the way of posts

here that I
decided to reply.

I'm all for hunting for food... I got venison in the freezer. I used to get
my 5 caribou every year up north. Like my native friend said to a new guy
hunting with us when the dude exclaimed.. look at the antlers on that
one..." you can't eat the antlers"
