other than being very long-winded, Skippy has earned some respect from me.
He's done a lot of cruising and hasn't come to serious grief in the past
two years so he's learning. Now, if he would loan me Lydia for a couple
months so I could put her to work doing a good spring cleaning aboard my
yacht where her domestic talents would be appreciated, he would be able to
pilot his yacht himself and stay within the marked channels. lol


All cattle and no hat.

You've been invited more times than I can bother to look, and Lydia is
obsessed with cleaning and polishing.

You're welcome to her, if you'll just show up...

And, besides, if Lydia really thinks Skippy is some sort of 'hunk' she
wouldn't be able to keep her hands off a real stud like me. But, I'd keep
her at bay because, as a Christian man, I wouldn't feel right having
intimate relations with a married woman and if she got what I have to give
she'd never be satisfied with the likes of Skippy any more. I can't have
ANY woman living her life pining after me the rest of her days.

I can assure you she'd manage to quell her fiery impulses - no worries on
your part or mine.

So, for yet another time, when are you coming out to the Bahamas to show us
what a real boat is like?

Ya i apologize aboutthe jew remark it is racist and not normally part
of how I think.
i believe it was a result of living with all the fat **** toothless
ignorant racist from the south who work the offshore oil industry. you
know......... guys like Coffee Joe

I stand admonished. I apologize.

Now for you Skip.............. why are you making your injector
mistake a vindeta. Im mean god man get a life. I have a excuse for
typing here im board siting in a motel waiting to get on a boat and go
to work. You on the other hand are living the tropical deram of
harmony and bliss in paradice....seem like you wouldnt want to sully
yourself with such trivia.

Oh and why did you go to that guy. i found his webpage several years
ago and decied he catered to the recreational boater too much and thre
for not a suitable source for information or parts. go to a real disel
shop not a place who makes 75% of their busines from novice/
recreational whinny people like yourself.

best wishes

Hi, Bob,

Yours clipped for brevity...

Apology accepted :{))

No vendetta - just trying to get them to even respond to me.

I went to them out of desperation and a huge hurry given all I was doing
ashore, including the umpteen different vendors I was using to get lots of
parts, some of which (this included) weren't very straightforward.

As to the 10,000 word posts, you exaggerate. Most don't actually approach
3k (some do), and if you'd bother to read them, you'd know how I came to be
in their abuse pen following failing to reach TAD, my first choice.

Yes, we're living the dream. I expect no more from or about Foley other
than this sort of chatter, as well as the numerous additional supportive
affirmations of my experience (see Wayne.B above for a small example). That
I didn't do a search which would have exposed me (see my original in
explanation why I didn't) to all the invective others have ALSO posted was
my harried time.

However, not a vendetta, but hoping for enough exposure that those searching
for Foley might also see some of the many (NO exception) rants against their
treatment of customer and prospects, and avoid the same mistake.

L8R, y'all

Skip, about to dive the boat to remove the slime accumulated in Georgetown
before moving on

I really don't think you have anything to worry about.

He can have my gifts from my cancer. I can barely move my head, thanks
to 7000 REM of X-rays. Enough to kill in seconds if administered to
the brain at one time. I am sure he would consider being fed liquid
swill through a stomach tube a gift to be treasured. Most of what he
has written is ****, some good. His best selling book, Seagull, was
his worst to date. Biplane is good. The first science fiction
bestseller was Stranger in a Strange Land, By Heinlein. I asked him
where was the deep meaning a million idiots thought it had, and he
said: It just proves I will do anything for money.

The Society for the Preservation of Tithesis commends your ebriated

eptitude to choose such putably pensible tithesis, which we parage.
