Hey, we have a truce over political posts. Lets see if it works. Do
you have a boat? What kind?

10-4.

Three of 'em - well, one is "mine" in the sense that I bought it, but
I don't "own" it.

In order, just because you asked:

'96 LeizureKraft 26' poontoon powered by a '96 60 hp Johnson two
stroke. I might repower with a four stroke 90 or ETEC - not sure yet.
This is the one I bought but don't "own". There are pictures of it
around.

2000 20' Ranger bay boat with 200 hp HO ETEC - there are pictures of
it around.

2008 Grady White Canyon 336 with triple ETECs currently located in
Charleston, SC - my kids use it for now, but I'm heading down in
another week for a little vacation. Haven't taken any pictures of it
yet as I want to rent a R-22, have one of the kids run it and take
from aerial images.

You a chopper pilot?

Am now - I did my solo a couple of months back.

You know those things are like bumblebees... they aren't supposed to
fly. :-)

It's funny... I love aviation, and have flown in several private
planes and even one heli some years ago, but I never got the itch to
get my pilot's license. Flying RC is as close as I've gotten... that
way I get to walk *toward* the scene of the crash.

I've had my private license for quite a while and I enjoy flying a
lot. I had a lot of friends locally who had planes so using one on a
weekend when they weren't using it was pretty common. A lot of them
gave their planes up when the local airport was in major disrepair
before it was bought, then insurances went up, yada, yada, yada.
Rentals got expensive so I only flew a couple of times a month then
eventually I stopped, but I kept the license current by getting time
in a couple of times a year.

But I've always had this fascination with helicopters. When I was
still active in the Vollies, I volunteered with Lifestar every other
week or so just to get to fly with them. I love the things - it's so
cool to look at a spot in a hay field from 2-3000 feet and just plunk
the thing down exactly where you want it.

So I just decided to do it and qualify.

I'll tell you - it's a lot of fun - taxing as it's kind of like flying
in a constantly controlled crash, but it's a blast.

Kinda like holding a large piece of glass, and trying to keep a marble in
the center. I'm a bit familiar.

You have such a way with words.

Did I ever tell you about the time I handled all the communications
for Obama's presidential campaign? I did it pro bono because I am
just that kind of guy.

And I thought you were labeled Reich-wing trash. :-)

No, I am always doing nice stuff for my fellow man. I donate 60% of my
income to the less fortunate, and my wife donates 80% of her income to
some of our favorite charities. Most importantly, I spend 100% of my
time on rec.boats telling everyone how great I am.

Didn't you donate to a charity once time - I can't remember -
something like $25 or something? Outstanding!!

What a modest guy - all those causes you support and stuff, putting
your nephew through school paying all his expenses - amazing guy -
should get a medal for all your sacrifices.

With all these causes you support and all the sacrifices you make on
your meager salary, it's no wonder you only spend 25 hours on your
very expensive center console boat with the bimini top.

Yes, I don't know what mankind would do if I wasn't there to help them.

Did I ever tell you about the Bat Symbol they shine in the sky when they
need my immediate assistance?

You mean the H the K that is lasered to the surface of the moon when
the world is in trouble and all the citizens of all the countries know
they are in good hands because you are intimately involved with saving
their pathetic minor lives?

I'm mightily impressed with that I'll tell you. Brings tears to my
eyes every time I see it. You are a true humanitarian. We should all
follow your example.

Didn't you inherit that signal from your famous father who owned the
biggest marine dealership in New England? Something about using it to
advertise his "deal of the week"? I think he also invented the fire
boat welcome in New York after some daring adventure - crossing the
Atlantic - or was it the Pacific? Maybe saving penguins in the Arctic?
Something like that.

I get confused - you and your family have known so many important
people in addition to having so many wonderful and heroic adventures
that it's hard to keep track of it all.

Oh - I meant to ask you something.

Out of all the amazing and incredible things you have done in your
life - the humanitarianism, the selfless sacrifice in service to the
poor and unenlightened - how come you have never won a Nobel Prize?

And/or a Pulitzer for your outstanding contributions, speech writing
for Presidents and such?

It must be your modest nature - you must have refused to accept these
prestigious awards.

Did you know that Harry's father once flew a helicopter across the

adventure!

funds. I did the marketing research in person, via the phone and via
email, helped the client shape the offering to the stated needs of the
prospective investors, prepared the narrative portions of the legal
descriptions and prospectus, prepared brochures, prepared web pages,
prepared sales letters, and prepared quarterly newsletters. I also
publicize the product. I also arrange photography for the investment
properties, and prepare and place feature articles about them.

Harry, let's get real, with all of the time you spend spewing septic
screeds in rec.boats, you barely have enough time to wipe your ass, that
is if you can reach around that lard ass of yours to even wipe your butt.

Since Harry pretends to have me killfiled, ask him to post one of those
"brochures". I'll bet it doesn't exist......
