I can do abs. :-)

Can you prove it? LOL!

Heh.. well, the pictures speak for themselves.

I'll say!

Oh, I meant to ask you about those hand signals. All three of you girls are
doing different hand signals. Is that some sort of sign language?



Wow... 7! I just have 2 siblings. My mom couldn't have more after me
for health reasons.

For little hellion reasons. LOL!

Exactly, You're so aware, girl. I recently downgraded to a smaller,
lighter
motor. This new one only weight sixty pounds. Not really a detriment at
all.

Hey, I could bench press it! (Need a spotter though..)


LOL! Only a little hellion would even think of bench pression an outboard
motor. ROFLOL! You're a hoot.

There was no welding required. Just bending and fitting the hardware. I
can
weld steel but stainless steel is more of a challenge as one needs to
use
some inert gas to make good welds. (TIG welding) Welding is a good skill
to
learn. Did you ever see that movie, "Flashdance?" Now, there was one
hot
welder. LOL!

Sure... Jennifer Beals (sp?) was hot in that, but she wasn't the
dancer. I should definitely take a class. I think I can get it paid
for through work, so why the heck not. There must be a CC around here
that offers it. I bet I'll be the only woman in the class... great
ratio!!

I do recall reading she had a fill-in for some of the more extreme dance
scenes. You should take a welding class. And, as in inpector it would be a
good skill to have so you could more readily recognize bad welding. If
they
pay for it, so much the better. Great ratio, indeed! But, in California,
who
knows, the class might be full of lesbians.

The only way to justify it (for reimbursement) is if they have me
switch back to commercial (which can happen when needed).

Lesbians don't bother me. I'm not, they know it, they leave me alone.


Seems to me that the last thing you want to do is having fuel on the
deck. It could even be stolen if you leave the boat. I could see maybe
having some extra if you're crossing an ocean, but if you just stock
up on food and water, it seems like you could just wait it out if you
can't sail, right? All the big yachts must cost a bunch of money, so
they can't be hard up for money for fuel.


Seems dumb to me, too. You won't catch me doing it. The last time I sailed
to the Bahamas I stayed there six months and I had five gallons of
gasoline
stashed in a cockpit locker and 3.5 gallons in the little fuel tank for
the
outboard and I never bought any gas the whole time I was there. I sailed
most everywhere and only motored when I had to get in and out of windless
or
headwind harbor entrances. A sailboat loaded with jerry cans on deck
shouts
loudly - motorhead!

Ok, I get it. You wouldn't want to put it down below. That'd be dumb.

Could catch on fire and explode. My mast got struck by lighting several
years ago while I was asleep in the v-berth. Lightning went down the
backstay and jumped into the wiring from the old outboard and solar panels
to the charging system wires to the inside of the boat, batteries, etc. Then
it jumped to the ballast keel which is cast iron and exited the cast iron
into the water by blasting several hand-size holes in the paint. The
lightning arched across the plastic fuel tank for the outboard and blackened
it but it never caught fire luckily. I woke up and there was smoke and ball
lighting popping and crackling inside the boat. One half-full bottle of wine
in one of the lockers had burst open and was on fire in the bilge. My ears
were ringing. It was pretty scary. But, at least I never got shocked by it
or anything. I guess I was lucky, could have been killed.


And you're afraid of snakes falling from the sky? LOL!

I think she's in New Zealand. You should fly out to meet her.

New Zealand?? Where did you get that? Pacific Time Wayne (Southern

He might be referring to some young woman who is attempting a

Can't recall her last name.


I think I'll pass on that. Maybe in a plane. :-)

Not the intimate details (it's been so long I've forgotten most all of
that
sort of thing anyway) just the obvious and desirable public physical and
mental attributes is what I know exactly how I like them to be.

Sense of humor, for example, means a lot and Jessica seems to have a
pretty
good one. Sort of a dry humor which is unusually attractive in a girl.

Thanks! (Not much for slapstick humor - another fault in some
people's eyes, but I just don't get it)


Agreed. Though when I was a kid I did enjoy the Three Stooges. But, now I
like my humor a little more on the cerebral side.



I guess before my time. I liked The Jerk... especially when Steve
Martin tries walking with the chair around his legs.

Definitely not permanent... I've got a job and a life out here.
Besides, you'd probably get bored with me. :-)

Well, maybe but probably not. But, I'm not looking for permanance either.
Interludes are always kinda nice. But, a friend of mine told me to stay away
from California girls because they're all CRAZY. But, you sound like you've
got a good head on your shoulders.

You're friend is probably right! :-) No, you're friend is DEFINITELY
right. :-)



Are you actually syaing that you would alow JB to act as crew on your
boat??????????

In a heartbeat! Well, first she'd have to prove herself as galley slave,
bikini model, daiquiri maker and shampooee. bg Hmmmmm, I wonder where
she's gotten off to lately? She said she was going to visit her folks but
only for a day or so. Hope she hasn't run off with some muscle boy.

Hey! Galley slave (one meal a day only!), bikini comes with beach.. no
beach/no bikini, I can drink daiquiri's but I'm not great at making
them (another imperfection), gotta have a shampoo now and then.

I'm sure we could find a beach or two. You could probably get a nice tan
fast if you used plenty of sunscreen so you didn't burn. ;-)

I can't take getting burned. It's just an ugly scene. Red blotches...
you don't want to know. I don't really tan all that well... I'm just a
natural pale face. :-(


No chance on the muscle boy.

Not even for a little 'fling?' You said you go 'clubbing.' What does that
involve? Do you ever go home with anybody on the first date? Or, do you just
like to do the club thing - dancing, etc?.? Was just wondering how wild and
crazy California girls really are these days . . .

Clubbing... just going to a night club or three with my friends.
Listen to music, grouse about other people and work, maybe some
dancing (not really my thing or Stace's - just Jimbo), fend off the
advances of men. :-)

First date? No way! At least not since college. Too many STDs floating
around... too many psychos. These days, you have to have references
just to get your phone call answered. LOL

Small quibbles.... not that young, not that beautiful (ok, damn nice
looking) :), extremely captivating (plain? hello?) LOL

And, definitely no self-esteem problems. LOL! I like that about you.

And, not THAT kind of plain, silly!


I almost said WTF? :-)

I don't like soul mate much either... I am willing to learn about
sailing, as long as there's no yelling.



That would be strictly up to you. Some girls just lose it entirely when in
the throws of passion. LOL! Just kidding . . .

Not to worry, I don't yell at people. I don't even like to raise my voice.


I could imagine throws of passion while sailing!

Willbur I have to hand it to you. your ability to create a personality
is very good. But THis Jesica B charcater still has a bit of your
voice in it. If you wish I can cut some Jessica phrases and compare to
yours if you like, It may help in your future
attempts at an online pseudonym love fest.

Oh good grief! Believe what you want...


Oh oh! I say 'good grief' too. Does that mean you are definitely my sock
puppet?

Shhhhh...

I think I don't know diddle about competitive cycling. I go with the
flow. Don't know what it's like out here, but you can even get on a
city bus with a bike (assuming they have a rack on the front).
Sometimes if the wind is in my face, I take the friggin bus back.

Wimp! LOL! You haven't seen winds until you've ridden in the Keys. The
wind is blowing more often than not. Often times it's 15-30mph out of the
North East - just brutal on the long ride back. Fun and fast on the way
down. One time we did 30 miles with a strong tailwind in just over an hour.

I'm willing to struggle for a while, but at some point I wimp out. :-)


Yeah... I'm not a huge beer drinker, but once in a while is great.


Beer is better after a hot afternoon sailing than hard liqour because it
doesn't have very much alcohol. Doesn't go to your head so fast. A couple
cold bottles after an afternoon's sail once the boat is anchored and squared
away with maybe a little something cooking on the barbeque is just so
enjoyable.

Hey, I'm a light-weight! One beer every two hours (max two) is about
all I can take!

I have to give at least six months notice if I take a vacation. :-(

Wow, your services must be greatly in demand.

We don't have a lot of staff. Someone was sick today, and we had a
backlog. That's why I got home so late.

But, the good news is that I have four weeks accrued.

And, six months from now you'll probably have five weeks accrued. :-)

Yup!

I don't like lightening at all either... forget that sh*t!

I don't mind humidity... just doesn't bother me that much.

Me neither. I kinda like hot and humid weather. It makes me lose my appetite
and it's easier to sweat off a few pounds because of it. Thinner is
definitely better in hot and humid weather.

I feel sorry for tubs of lard in hot weather. Of course, they have an
advantage in the snow. :-)
