Most of the posts are from a while ago... I hope I'm not the only reason you hang out here!! lol You're the main reason. The other folks who post seem so paranoid and delusional. You seem to be the only REAL person here lately. I haven't been sailing in the past week or so. The wind has been quite brisk (25 knots with gusts up to 40 for quite some time). There is a pressure gradient between a high pressure system north of us and a low south of us that funnels the winds in from the northeast and east. Can't even paint some more until the wind drops off some at least. Paint would be splattering all over the place. That's very sweet... I'm sure you enjoy smacking down some of these guys. I know it's sort of like shooting fish in a barrel. Bruce in particular! I don't think he's managed to win the first debate or argument yet. Like the way I smacked him down on his igorance of pitons. Wow... that's pretty high wind! That's read at the masthead where the anemometer is mounted. The gusts tend to be more up there than at the surface. It's been howling - it's a real workout training on the bike. The bridges are especially rough. The sides of the bridges tend to funnel the wind straint down the bridge. It's like trying to go upwind (and up hill) in a wind tunnel that's blowing in your face around 30-35 mph. It'll grow hair on your chest. LOL! Not on my chest!! lol I've been thinking more and more about taking a break from all of this for a while... I mean work of course. I just hope nothing else happens... brother and car (see email). Yes, I got your email, thanks. It sounds like you could use some quiet time and a nice neck and shoulder rub. I need a glass of wine and a hot tub! Go for it. Maybe the gas can guy has a hot tub and he sure has some wine. Everybody in California is a wino, it seems. They don't seem to care a whole lot for beer like us real men. ;-) There's a common hot tub in the building where I live, but I have friends who have them... Hey, I like a beer now and then. I don't like all the foam though. Also, red wine is supposed to be good for you. lol Don't know if Mr. Gas Can is going to work out.... lol... I love that nickname. He'll probably figure out I'm pretty independent and that will kill the deal. I mean the running out of gas sort of goes against my usual nature.. Sure! I believe it. LOL! Hey! :-) How many times have you run out of wind?? Huh? How many? lol I never run out of wind, people don't call old Wilbur a blowhard for nothing. LOL! I think they just can't stand the heat! I'm goingto send you an email... got a couple of questions... I'll do that when I get back from the gym. |
