Good mornin', Tim.

I'm off to get my boat. Sandy and I are going up to the Georgetown Starbucks for
a cup of coffee.

Have a spectacular day!

Have fun, John.!


Well, this is what I get for a fast decision to go boating. Usually I pick the
boat up the night before and check the battery, etc. Today I just hooked up the
boat, drove to the ramp north of the airport, launched the boat, and hit the
starter.....nothing. ****!!!

So, I'm back home, battery is on the charger, and we're waiting for it to get
charged. Hell, even the hot shot didn't have enough juice to crank the engine.

Oh well, live and learn - not to take shortcuts.



From your post I am guessing you just have the single battery. Maybe
you should double up and if you don't have one get a good battery
switch, too.


Read response to Wayne.

Either way, I say, keep up the good work. It's nice to be able to post
with out etc and Secular Humorist jumping all over it. You see, neither
of them think my boat is enough of a boat to qualify as a boat;)


It's a damn good Brockway Skiff though. :-)

Ouch. Batteries don't like that.

Nope. The charger's been working on it for about 4 hours now, and it's only up
to 68%.

My wife didn't like it either - getting dressed, getting launched, getting
retrieved, and getting back in the car.

Oh well.

Could have been worse...with your wife sitting in the boat you just
launched, with a dead battery and the drain plug in your pocket, and
you're standing on the ramp watching the boat...sink.

Here's a revolutionary thought: why not just ignore these assholes to

give each other handjobs? You wouldn't associate with trash like loogy,
ingerfool, flajim, et cetera, in in real life...why do so here?

Unfortunately as ususal, what you say doesn't square up with the
facts.. Look at the posts the last few weeks. You and your crew bonnie
and slammer have posted dozens of unanswered attacks and insults a
day... So it's us that has been ignoring you, and of course that's
what ****es you off the most...


It takes two or more to tango. If everyone stopped with the snarlyness
(is that a word?), this might be a much better place.


Can't be done. Harry and Don have to keep **** stirred up to cover up
the lies they spread.


Hey, why not give it a try? What do you have to lose?


Whomever the spoofer is that you're responding to, has made it his
vocation to be a flaming asshole. The content or context of Harry and
Don's postings have nothing to do with whether he responds or posts
stupid insults.

He's the worst offender here and has been for months.

Tell you what...beginning today, why don't you keep track of how many
times I mention or refer to you and your "us'ns" and how many times you
and your "us'ns" mention or refer to me. The latter, of course, would
include all posts in which my handle or name or names of my family
members are abused.

Can you "man up" for that?

The clock is now...ticking.


It doesn't look like you are ignoring anyone. Shame Shame Shame.


I can't, my narcissism won't allow me to ignore anyone.


Here's the flaming asshole doing what he can't help but do.

I have had a few of those hot shot things, cheap and expensive, none of
which has ever started anything for me...


This wasn't a cheap one, that's for sure. I should have plugged it in last
night. But, the gauge said it was 'ready'. Maybe it was ready for a battery at
75%, but not mine!

Ahhh, you see humor where I do;) I think I am gonna' like you :O


If it is stupid on a boat, I've done it and I am proud of it.
Many boats ago, I put the nozzle from a gas pump down the fishing rod
holder and pumped a few gallons into the bilge.

Go ahead, top that. Bet you can't.
