What a great Xmas...except for an awful drive back in the rain! What I
got.....

Quicksilver dinghy air floor model (A present from my father)
200 gift card for Circuit city
300 dollar gift card for BoatUS
Icom M1v (being returned)
WHAM mic for radio
Ipod Video (Being returned-got one for my birthday)
Lots of clothes
300 dollar gift card for B&H
Makita cordless drill

Not a bad haul, and this was after I told family and friends to skip me
and buy for Thomas. Thomas got even more stuff!!!

Sounds like you had a great Christmas!
I had a different but very rewarding Christmas. I asked everyone who
normally gets me something to make a contribution to our Katrina Project. I
have $1100 to help fund our return trip in the Spring. What a great family I
have!

That's a wonderful gift! My father did the same thing for a cancer
charity he supports.

Hey Bob I got a Bobspirt type of story to tell you.

My lovely wife bought me this wallet off e-bay for Christmas
http://image62.webshots.com/62/4/40/...2QKPLfy_ph.jpg

The ad said Vintage Rummp Alligator Brass trimmed. Of course I loved
the wallet it's prime alligator inside and out. Yesterday I got to
thinking what kind of brass never tarnishes?

Do you know what kind of brass never tarnishes Bob? The 14 kt kind
that what.. Its marked 14K all over it..

Yeahaaaaaa a wallet worth more than your Dink!!

They don't stamp that 14K last time I checked.

Santa...Ewe Da Man...Bling bling.......

Joe

Is that 14 carat gold plating?

14K = 58% gold.

You may find greater treasure from a gum machine.

Amen!

What part of clear lake are you on? The south west end in the big
marina?????

SW end is Watergate and a few new places. No I'm on the North side of
Clearlake at Clear Lake Marine Center located on NASA road 1. It's one
of the oldest marinas on the lake. WHy? You coming by? Make sure Paris
is with you.

That's a great idea, Scout. Really shows the true Christmas
spirit!

Your post must have made Bob feel about 1/3 of an inch tall.

14.4 Volt with two batteries. I already have the 18 volt, which will
stay at home.

Why? I gave to charity this year...Katrina and Tsumami relief. I don't
need a holiday to act like a human being...I do it all year round.
Why not give a little yourself instead of worrying about what other's
are giving, Scotty?

Seriously....shame on you.

You own a boat, you can give something. We gave after the Tsunami and
Katrina. I truly can't understand how anyone couldn't come up with
something after those disasters.
Then again, it doesn't surprise me that you'd use a claim of poverty to
abstain from giving. People like you are why the world is in the mess
it's in.

Shame on you.

I did the most to prevent things like Katrina from ever happening again.

I wrote my Congressman demanding the Federal Govt never build cities
underwater again. Stop all funding and breech the levees.

Amen!

I wanted to find your boat on a satellite photo. I thought you'd get a kick
out of seeing it from space.

I'll give you plenty of advance notice when I come to the area.

Did you know Samuel Gompers was a union leader?

Praise!

Yes I did know Samuel Gompers was a union leader.

Unions had their time and place.

Did you know the United States Navy named a ship after him?

http://www.usssamuelgompers.org

Great ship, only elite Bos'n Mates and the finest craftsmans the Navy
could find served aboard her.
Her Motto was " Service Supreme ".

From space we are just east of NASA's Johnson Space Center ( where you
can see from space the only surviving working model of a Saturn Rocket)
on the Taylor lake cut. If you go north its a wildlife refuge full of
alligators, Osprey, Eagles, Crow, Bass Trout, Shrimp, Redfish ect....

We are on the pennsula east of the cut on the lake.
Many space views show RedCloud in the slip 2 over from the one I have
now..... bow in all white.
You can also see my blue 1966 Mustang.

Do you have a more recent shot?
