Edgar, I'm shocked to hear you say such things about a fine actor,
comic and singer. A picked-himself-up-by-his-own-bootstraps actor, Kaye
managed to create a huge career in film, stage and even with top songs.
I often think of his music while my diesel warms up....tapucku tapucka

It sounds like it's not firing on every cylinder... much like it's owner.
There's the big problem with cheap plastic boats..... Capt. Rob can hear
the engine resonate in every part of the vessel. It's enough to make the
wood grain shelf liner, peel clean off the bulkhead!!

Tupacka tapuka tapuka is a sign of valve failure, by pass venting in
the valve cover. Better get that checked out.

The sound of a good old Ford Bowman......bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
bum bum bum bum bum bum warming up sounds like a tribe of injuns
getting ready for a war party.

My favorite is the low low low low low low low low low low low low low
of an MTU and the turbo whizzle as she builds boost..

My favourite is my engine.... and when I have to yell at the crew to shut
the hell up so I can actually hear the darned thing chugging quietly away.
Sometimes the only way to tell it's running is the gentle gurgle of water
from the exhaust.

It's hard to beat a pair of 20 cylinder 6000HP turocharged H series
EMD's hooked-up on a moonless night.

Yeah, Yeah Yeah! ...don't scare the Bobmeister by referring to something he
knows nothing about. Why do you think I was talking about the auxiliary?
It's the only reassuring sound his sailboat makes that he understands! The
man is a power boater I tell you! He belongs on a Trawler! You know that...
I know that... everyone here knows that...... so please refrain from
broaching sail topics when replying or trolling Bobsprit.... it just goes
way over his head.

Like Doug???

yes, it would seem that Bob and Joe have a lot in common.

I was not criticising Danny Kaye. I was criticising you for not being able
to enjoy the silence of being afloat in your boat on a fine calm day and
also for fouling the said atmosphere up for everyone else that might be in
earshot. Keep DK and anything else you have on disk for your home theatre.
Or are you going to tell us you had it on to drown the traffic noise where
you sail?
