You probably have newer stuff and take it back to the dealer when it

Harry, I do all that stuff too but I prob push things further than
most people would. Most of boat trips, nothing noteworthy happens
unless you go someplace unexpected and I like to explore. My install
of a 3600 gph pump on my 20' Tolman Skiff may seem odd and result in
some wiring problems but will give me peace of mind. *In sailing, I

Really now, how often do you find yourself in a tight passage where
the wall has thousands of flattened dead bats on it as if they were
all hit by a massive fly swatter and you realize, uh-oh, that was done
by a flash flood....or you find the way out of the cave is blocked by
an angry water moccassin. *How many people build their own campers or
boats. *If you expect zero problems, buy instead. *I like to

I also like solving problems. *This is the first time in two years I

complain too much. *If I had the solar panel hooked up, my batteries
would have been ok but I suspect something odd about the wiring at my
slip or that my panel has gone bad somehow causing corrosion so it has
been taken off. *I gotta get the panel home to measure its resistance
over time.


I've installed bilge pumps on boats, and even with my limited knowledge
of electricity, I didn't encounter "wiring problems." Wiring in a new
pump seems pretty straightforward, no?

I'm sure it is quite enjoyable to be among thousands of dead bats and
live poisonous snakes.

As for your project building, you seem to enjoy making your life as
complicated as you can. I don't.

A few weeks ago when we were dragging the canoes and kayaks thru the
muck to see these cool springs, I saw a guy happily fishing while we
were having a bitch of a time getting our boats through the dense
weeds. I thought, "Dang, that sure looks relaxing, maybe I should try
it", a few seconds later, my daughter and I are happily up to our
necks in mud draggin the boats and I think, "Yeah, I'll do that when
I'm 80 and can't deal with cool stuff"

Speaking of slobs, here's a short, fat little freak with a doo rag

Yep...Scott Ingersoll. That's him.

Speaking about the Freak.....
I could have sworn I saw a picture of him with bigstyle ponytailed hair in a
salt & pepper colour.
In that rescue video, it appears that his hair is that mousy brown colour
from one of the mens hair dye products.
Is he dying his hair now...and if so, why not pick a half decent colour?

He wears it pink in the golf course shower room.

Hey Don, have you ever asked Harry why he keeps the picture of Scotty
if he's so down on him?

I have pictures of my kids, grandkids, etc, but damn, I sure don't
keep a picture of 'guys' I dislike to flash around.

You'll have to ask him...but I'd guess that 'a picture is worth a thousand
words'!

Easily...it's a reminder of how short, fat, and stupid Scott Ingersoll
is, and points out the irony of his insulting others for what he
believes is their appearance. Ingersoll looks like a troll.

That's the way I feel about my kids and grandkids. But....

Oh well, to each his own, as they say!
