... snip 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. :-) When it gets to be so much work that it becomes a drag then I don't blame you. 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! Well, I suppose you don't weigh very much at 5'5" and in great shape so your blood/alcohol level probably rises way faster than mine at 170 pounds. Your metabolism is probably running faster than mine, as well. I generally start getting a bit buzzed after about four beers. 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. Do you get time and a half for overtime or comp days, at least? 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. :-) Or during a famine! LOL! Wilbur Hubbard |
