Cause he has a nice boat with a nice babe in it?


The boat looks good other than those dumb registration
numbers. The lady
looks fair, but I've seen better. . ..in the Victoria's
Secret Catalogue.


Oiy!

And how hard is it to scrape them off and do it right?

That would make it look worse, much worse.

Notice what it says "
Letters must be separated from the numbers by a space
or
hyphen; for
example: TX 3717 ZW or TX-3717-ZW.


doesn't specify the length of the space, does it?

Another grade school drop-out squeeks . . . Listen up,
fool!

The space one letter or number takes up is a space. You
have a space bar
on your keyboard. When you touch the space bar does it
insert a
half-dozen spaces? No it does not, it inserts one space.
It inserts the
space of one letter or number.

Look up the difference between an "em" space and an "en"
space. (M-space and
N-space)


Where?

Good for you, Richard...you can feel proud that you've brought back
an unsailable boat and seek the fun of the experience before having
to have a perfect vessel..




We had a 1078 O'Day that we sailed for 7 years...was a great boat
EXCEPT for the Bomabastic 4...the ONLY good thing about them is that
they are fixable...over and over and over and over again...and then
over again some more...interiors in those are pretty easy to
fix..most of that era used some type of vinyl for bulkhead covering
so is very easy to strip and replace...I did ours with some heavy
industrial ulpholstery material and industrial strength fabric glue.
Cusion recovering, if you don't do them yourself is pricey. A bad
looking sole can be covered with carpeting with Velcro stickies on it
to keep it in place but needs to be pulled up when you're not there
so mildew deosn't set up undeneath...In that year Catalina, you could
probably find a much better boat for not that much more, so keep
looking...




You bet, Katy.

I just looked it over because it is down the pier and had a for sale
sign on it. Curiousity and the cat, you know...

Actually I kinda have my heart set on a C-30 - or something with that
much room at least. A mid 80's or so - not too bad on price, and a
lot better shape.

But there are a lot of others out there.

Another year in this on - till Dorothy is comfortable taking her out
solo.

Then we'll get serious about moving up.



Good plan...and I'm glad Doeothy is enhoying it so much...

Yepper - me too!

Especially the anchoring part.... )

Yeah. After that long the gellcoat is etched away around anything stuck

pffffttttt....katytype...1978...but you knew that...

Yes, I did.

You were criticizing the spacing and said that all letters should take
up equal
space. If you can't keep up, then drop out!


****ing moron! I never said anything about all letters should take up
equal space. I simply said the Texas boat registration should have a
space between letters and numbers as required by the website linked.
Since the requirement is BLOCK letters and numbers a space represents
one block. It should look like this:

TX 1111 FU It should not look like this:

TX 1111 FU.

Only a retard could look at the illustration given and come up with some
stupid idea that "a space" meant a space of any size he decided looked
good to him.

It specifies block letters. Script letters are verboten.

But it does NOT specify a fixed width font. There are thousands of
proportional fonts that are sans-serif, and are legal to use. For that
matter, even fixed fonts have characters of different widths. Go look
up em-space and en-space, retard.

Unfortunately for you, there are NO proportional font spaces that are
five or six times wider than the widest letter like the spaces on
cavelimp's boat. Your lame attempt at defending said ridiculous space is
matched in lameness only by your hydrocephalic brain. That poor woman
sitting at the tiller needs to grab cavelimp around his pencil neck and
shake some sense into him for the shame she undoubtedly feels being at
the helm of an ineptly numbered sailboat.
