Well, it's interesting, as both a general phenomenon and in respect to
my personality. I certainly have a tendency to ramble on and on, in
love with the sound of my own voice, in response to somebody else's
statement. However, I really hestitate to just start pontificating ab
initio because I feel like it. Ronnie started/kept our Zombie Princess
blog (http://zombieprincess.blogspot.com) and I could have posted to it
as often as I chose; but I generally chose not to. I don't think I'll
do it for this one, either. I just wanted to create an ID for blogspot
so I could comment to my daughter's blog of her upcoming term at
boarding school (http://summerhillchloe.blogspot.com). I'm just not
comfortable blogging. Not sure why. Maybe that'll change, maybe not. It
takes time away from other things I could be doing.

Some people take blogging very serious to the point of firing
employees over statements they've made or opinions they've expressed
in their blogs. My personal thought is why would anyone want to be
that exposed on the Internet? I don't mean just general likes,
dislikes, etc, but the real nitty gritty stuff that some feel
compelled to reveal.

Thanks

It's a genaker. When he found out I was planning to buy one, my
father in law said he would pay for it if he could have design
control. He (deceased now) was a John Deere industrial dealer for many
years. He bought it out of his ad budget.

And the kid, at this time my only grandchild.

When I still had my grooming business we toyed with the idea of a
hot pink spinnaker with Vogue Dogue (the name of my business)
emblazoned across with a perky poodle.....that is until we priced it
out! Alarming, even if it was tax deductible.....

Nice sailboat. Nice grandkid.

Praise!

That would have scared the fleet when you popped it on the downwind
leg.

The custom price uptick wasn't so bad on ours. Came from North sails
and they had a loft in New Orleans.

Too bad the Carpal Tunnel got you. From what we have to pay to get
our standard groomed these days you would be doing fine.

Thanks,

The sailboat is long gone. The kid, well, he is as close to perfect
as a grandfather can observe.

Praise, indeed.

I like the spinnaker. Shouldn't it be John Deere green?

I was doing fine. Now I do Chopper and that's it...there's a groom
shop right around the corner and for giggles I went in to see what
it costs in the Hampton Roads...gag...90 bucks for a skin job...not
een any scissoring...I was charging 60 for hand scissoring when I
quit. Mr Sails took him in once to PetSmart back in Grand Rapids,
because he wanted to surprise me and save me some trouble...I gagged
at what they did, took Chopper down to the workroom and redid him
completely....

The big cost on the sail was the yards and yards of pink...we were
sharing a finger dock with Max at the time...he would probably have
moved...was thinking about doing the canvas raspeberry, too, but Mr
Sails nixed that one...
