I see not much has happened differently in rec.boats since I left Fri
to head for Kansas. We just got back last night and to tired to head
for the lake today.

Thursday evening before we left I went to three local cemeteries, and
decorated 13 of my family mostly divided between ww1 and ww2 vets,
with one from the Spanish-American and one from the Civil War.

Then Friday morning we headed for Kansas. It may be the last time I
ever will go out to dress graves of my ancestors on my mom's side,
Long and tiresome, but it was a great trip, just the same.

Anyhow, I'm half way feeling back to normal again, so it's time to get
ready for the huge cookout. And before that, I might go do some work
on the 23' Marquis. decisions, decisions....

Anyway, enjoy the day .

Looks like a few people might have actually gone boating this weekend.
It will be interesting to hear the stories. :-)

Yes Wayne. It certainly would. I would have loved to have gone, but
too tired and too much to do, besides, It's pouring rain here now.

Sounds like a lot of family history to be proud of Tim. Good of you to honor
those soldiers.

I post the *details* of my boating adventures at "the other place,"
where w'hine and his kind don't post their snotty remarks about other
posters.

We got back last night. It was an interesting day on the bay on Saturday
(really warm weather!)... interesting boat also. The guy currently owns a
Sabre 36 (not sure what year). He also bought a Sabre 426 (it's 2005/2006 I
think) on the East Coast, but his plans have changed and wants to stay with
the 36. He's asking a bit more than we originally planned, but I think he'd
take close to our original max (about $300K). Anyway, we took a nice long
sail on the 36. Here's a pic of me having a great time (yes, I have a
hair-color change for those who saw the previous pic and yes, I'm sound
asleep).

Apparently, when you have something over 39', there are a bunch more Coast
Guard requirements (equipment/regs?), so we would need to factor in if we
want that additional hassle. Also, we would either need to get it here or
sail from there, so that's a decision factor also. Of course, no decisions
have been made other than to request more information. Hey, I got to steer
the boat for about 1/2 hour. Prepare to tack! Arggg.... Cool... _then_ I
took a nap.

for a memorial.

Wow!

"...The act of remembrance was for the estimated 188 American soldiers
who died as prisoners of the British army in the War of 1812, and were
buried on Deadman's Island.

An informal ceremony has been held every Memorial Day since 2005 when
the municipality bought the land and turned it into a park to prevent
condominium development on the site....When developers were about to
put condominiums on the land, the issue that it was an unmarked burial
ground was raised."

I didn't know of that. Thanks Don!

Nothing to memorialize here. I have no use for the military or those who
chose to fight for our country and to keep fat lazy slobs like me safe.

Thanks. I have several family artifacts fro battles and conflicts from
the past. And I make sure that they're graves are decorated on each
Memorial Day. No brag on my part, but this year I also went around to
a lot of other local grave sites and layed out 64 flags.And that
didn't cover them all. Next year I'll probably set 0ut a hundred or
more.

Somebody needs to do it.
