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.

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.


Don't forget to let everyone know what a great man your father was, too!

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.

I would have loved flying choppers. The government offered me a job doing
just that. but was a bad year. Was finishing USAF Tech School at Keesler
and the Army came around offering Warrant Officer rank to fly choppers.
Fall of 1965. Figured was not a real good choice at that time.
