Happy Days for us, sad ASA'ers
Wow....here I've been out of the group (and will remain so) for months and I see Gayzy, Scotty Potty and some of the regulars still treading the trailer trash waters of mediocrity. How dull. Fortunately folks like myself have been working hard to make life more fun every day! So here's what the deal is for the crew of Heart of Gold!!! 1) Yes, we now own a house in Carmel, with two and a half acres of woods. We are 15 minutes from town, but the houses near us are also NYC escapees who are raising their kids in a safer place, yet still just an hour away from the best museums, concert halls and stages in the world; The best of both worlds. Thomas is so happy here, it's hard to describe. This morning we walked in the woods, then went over to our stream and threw twigs into the rushing water, which you can drink. After that we visited a memorial park with it's private beach, horseback ridding and summer outdoor movies and concerts, but there are a lot of parks like that here. We are surrounded by lakes and everyone here has a sunfish or some kind of small sailboat, canoe or dink. There are plenty of kids around for Thomas and we just bought him an elaborate cedar swingset/fort that probably cost more than Scotty and Jeff's homes combined. 2) Heart of Gold just got a free engine overhaul....cleaned injectors, fluids and so on. She launches in about a week. Our club is an extra 20-25 minutes of driving, but we don't have to cross the Whitestone or Throgsneck, so it's a far nicer drive. 3) We have a house that someone like poor Scotty Potty could only dream of. More than 2000 Sq. feet and four bedrooms along with a lower level that we just remodeled after pulling the lolly columns. That large 16X23' family room will get a 136 inch screen with a new Optoma projector plus there is also a 56 inch HD TV built flush into the wall. Sound will come from SVS subs and Revel speakers. The acoustics in the room appear to totally flat and this system sounds amazing and it's not even fully set up yet! Also downstairs is the laundry room which is a whopping 12X14. It's too big for it's purpose, so we'll add a 3rd bathroom there to compliment the lower guest room. The house may be a tad large for a family of three, but we'll have friends and family stay over often. Of course it's not the size, but the quality and condition of this home that makes it so nice along with how it was sighted by the fellow who built it. So that's it. Yes, my life is still better than yours and I'll make love to my lovely wife tonight while the rest of you download American Idol clips. Oh, and we sold all of the cars except for the Kia Sedona. We're going to try a BMW 330 XI AWD if we can ever get a reasonable delivery date. The Sedona remains too useful to trade away from. On the future boat front: We're going to visit the C&C plant mid- summer. We have no solid plans and love our boat, but Suzanne is determined to see me get that 99 that I like so much. NO hurry though and I just added a sweet new asym to Heart of Gold that should make her dance even better in light air. So we're having a blast. Every day feels like a vacation. Most of our new furniture comes next week at last and the sailing season is about to start. Life isn't just good....it's great. Please don't forget that Doug, the King of Keels said that I was lying about a J29 with a modified bulb keel. I already busted him with pics of the boat, but I haven't forgotten that blowhard. I'll finally get over to College Point this week and take/post pics of the bottom so that goofball can feel like even more of an ass that Scotty Potty. And that's a mighty big ass, even for Ganz.

The area he is in is riddled with small ponds, springs and streams. I'd be
surprised of he didn't have one or two little streams on his property. Only some of those little streams are running year 'round. I wouldn't recommend drinking the water from them. PCB's and various microscopic organisms can be somewhat hard to see. CWM Yup, and we're right next to a reservoir and all of the property around us is marked as watershed for it. The faster larger streams are fine for drinking once in a while. Beyond the houses already here, no one can build or modify the land. My property is all woods, rocks and there's even a small cave. Thomas loves to walk through it all and explore. This is the view from our enclosed deck in the back of the house: http://members.aol.com/bobsprit/images/house4.jpg Down below is fairly flat wooded area. Beautiful, unless you prefer a giant lawn....which we don't. Of course there's plenty of lawn/garden area in front and to the right of the house. As I said, pics will say it all and they'll be posted shortly! This is on the way for Thomas.... http://www.abcdirectshop.com/graphic...tdeluxe_hi.jpg RB |

I doubt there are PCB's in his water unless they can flow uphill or if a few transformers were thrown in with the engine blocks in the back yard. I'd check the well water for coliforms, that nice bubbly spring (high in nitrates) may be his neighbors septic absorption bed at the end of its life. The streams may have giardia or toxic molds from rotting organic matter. The one stream I'd be concerned with the most is the one that flows down the sealed driveway into the garage. But he doesn't have to worry much. He's renting the place. |

Removing lolly columns - hahaha!
No clue about the columns, right, Bonafool? Did you ask if they were carrying a wall? Did you wonder if there were joints above the column? Did you wonder about the span and how to calculate the loads without shoring up? Of course you didn't! You're a darn fool and a sockpuppet to boot! Bonofool!!!! BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!!! RB 35s5 NY |

With property taxes hovering around $7500/year I would expect quality
schools. You could move out of state and pay $15K/year for some of the very best private schools, save $5000/year on property taxes and have a much larger and nicer house. Why couldn't you design and build a kid's gym yourself? Are you trapped in that place now that Suzy has the only means of transportation? How many times have you been to the boat in the last week? Sailing tapering off? Wait until Thomas is in school 6 hrs/day. You weekdays will be shot. You will barely sail weekends with all the house, kid and wife stuff. It's a long, downhill slide from now out. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaa !!!!!! |

No wonder, max deflection allowed is 1/360th of span. Figure 20 lbs/ft^2, hem fir 2x8 joists resting on 100lb/ft steel, 24ft span. Hope you are good at fixing cracked drywall. Have fun handyman!

Hope you are good at fixing cracked drywall. Wow! You're ignorant as heck! What kind of roof do I have? Does it matter? Please tell us why a 14.5 span with lolly poll removed led to no cracked drywall, but the 15.5 foot one (which carried less load) will. You're even too dumb to ask what was done in place of the lolly. Did used fabricated plates or insert an I-beam? Hmmmmm???

"Capt. Rob" wrote in message ups.com... Hope you are good at fixing cracked drywall. Wow! You're ignorant as heck! What kind of roof do I have? Does it matter? If it is a truss the load is usually supported on the foundation walls through the exterior walls. Please tell us why a 14.5 span with lolly poll removed led to no cracked drywall, but the 15.5 foot one (which carried less load) will. You're even too dumb to ask what was done in place of the lolly. Did used fabricated plates or insert an I-beam? The fabricated plates are a better solution because you have to cut through the top of the foundation to support an I-Beam or use columns on the ends. However, getting the one piece plates into position is a very difficult task, then you have to drill the wooden beam for the bolts. There are two better architectural solutions, none of which you mentioned. Hmmmmm??? Do you know that this had to be approved by an engineer supplied by our insurer? It could be approved by any licensed engineer or architect registered in the State of New York. I hope you are really good at fixing cracked drywall. Hint: it may take a while for the drywall to crack. It's great you got your homeowners insurance company involved with a home repair rather than the local building inspector.

Pulling the boat out this mo. for a new bottom job, anoids, and installing 7 bronze portholes. The porthole going aft center is 24" with 1.25" thick armoured glass, it came off a battleship. All the ports open which will allow a nice breeze thru the cabins. Plus they end my concern of the forward and aft windows being blown in in extreme seas. I had plywood shields in the sail locker that I get to toss in the dumpster now. One of the best things about finding the right boat to start with is you can customize it to fit your every need. Perhaps when Thomas finishes Collage you can get back into sailing, maybe even get offshore and stick with a boat long enough to understand what I'm talking about. Need to visit the plasma cutting shop today and pick up my templates. We will cruise around the Texas coast a bit this summer. Not taking off for the big trip yet.

I can't imagine what the right boat to start with would be, unless there were no changes in my life. Beautiful wife, beautiful son...and now a new home, a lot more money to play with and more. Each boat worked great as things changed. We're actually looking at following thorugh on plans to adopt a child (Adoption saves a life) and if we do that I may seek out a larger boat and skip the C&C 99, but we'll see. Last summer while most of the people in the so-called "sailing group" trolled and fixed their boats, we were out sailing 3 days a week. Sometimes it was an overnighter, sometimes it was just a few hours. It never mattered because we love sailing for the sailing itself. I hope I never tire of that and find myself fixing up some huge boat project. We're not Scotty Potty trailer trash. We own a sweet boat that is a blast to sail. We have our second house, worth 100K more than we paid in a great school area and it's 2000 Sq feet is in near mint shape. We even have a couple of famous people living a few houses down. If I had Scotty's life I'd shoot myself (if I could borrow bullet money). As for you, Joe....did you ever look into adoption? Suzanne's sister adopted 2 kids from an abusive home and literally saved them. Few things in life could have more worth. RB 35s5 NY |

You had money once. Care to explain to ASA where it went? RB 35s5 NY |

Well one can't set up a mooring near Richardsville can they? What
exactly does that $7500/year in property taxes buy? We pay somewhat less, but what it buys are schools that are better than those we left behind. It buys half a dozen local lakes with boating and sailing, snow that stays white, no traffic jams, wonderfuls kids for Thomas to play with, a fanastic daycare center 1/2 mile away, clean streets, beautiful wooded land, roads that get snow cleared on schedule and neighbors who all moved here for the same reason: To raise their kids in a better place than NYC, but still close enough to take advantage of what NYC has to offer. Of course, if taxes are a worry for you (as someone with no boat or good stereo MUST be counting pennies), then moving someplace better makes no sense. Then again, you never found a woman or had a child either. Dude...you're barley Human, even on Scotty Potty's scale! RB 35s5 NY |

It's good to see you finally realize that you were living in a hell hole. Of course, if taxes are a worry for you (as someone with no boat or good stereo MUST be counting pennies), then moving someplace better makes no sense. I am in someplace better. It's not the New York metropolitan area either. Who needs a stereo or entertainment center? You? When are you going to visit your boat? It must take at least an hour to get to it. That's if Suzy lets you use the mini-van! Bwahahahahahahahahaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then again, you never found a woman or had a child either.

"Bob Crantz" wrote Sorry to see it Robbie, I wish you could afford a nice place to play, It must be killing him to admit he has such a small house on a small lot. Scotty Haven't you towed larger, nicer homes behind your big rig? Yes, but don't get the wrong idea, I have nothing against modular homes. Some are very nice, it's just so funny to see the Big Blowhard Braggart settleing for entry level, small digs. Scotty |

He's on the ropes financially. His friends will take care of his boat for him, Suzy won't give him much minivan time. Property tax is more than his dock fee. Little Tom's play set cost more than his sails. And in Mystic? How many miles up the river is that? How many more miles further away than City Island? Even less sailing time for sure. Less income too, Suzy is no longer the lead cardiologist for a world class cardiology clinic. And weren't you the fella who was telling us about what great wind you have in the Western Sound? At least there will be less sewage afloat in Mystic. At least he can watch over the air Yankee games (WPIX) where he is at. He's moved out to the fringe, soon the isolation will really start to set in. Manhatten and its cultural opportunities (not that he ever went) will become another, distant place. The long drive to the city will grow old and longer. He and Suzy will no longer be distracted from each other. Spats will become more frequent. And then the king and the queen can never go back to the green... |

So a mooring is starting to look a bit better to you now?
Hell no. We'll only go because our friend has nice house there and that's where my MG-TF is being restored. We'll visit a few times. No way would I ever give up the ease/fun of a slip and also Suzanne's folks are getting on in years, but still like to come sailing. A dinghy or launch would not be easy for them. Of course some folks need to save and the slip is really pricey for most. Easily twice what you pay, but it's worth it...even if I had to pay. This year we got even more sailboats in, defecting from NYYC, Harlem and Capri.....all nice clubs, but slips are sweeter. Last season my ex brought her boat in for the last two months and she admitted she used the boat more. She sailed more and just spent more time playing on board because a dock is that much more convenneint. Moorings are for trailer trash and no crappy restaurant (that members are forced to eat at in many cases), lack of any real services and semi-access to a boat will convince anyone otherwise.

Just like old times, Bob brags stupidly about some lame
acquisition he made, then everybody gets to laugh at him. What a hoot. Scotty |

Hey. She doesn't and didn't pay penny one toward the boat. Ever heard of a
gift? It is? A boat with very little value. Perhaps one should ask why the gift was made to maintain a low profile? As I said: Dave and I have friends in common. To put it more clearly: I know someone who's not speaking with him now and for good reason. He knows EXACTLY who I'm talking about too. At the very least poor Dave knows that I have him pegged. I carry no such baggage and didn't screw up my life and several others in the process. Know what I mean, Davey? That sure is a sad car you drive. Why not come clean here? RB 35s5 NY |
