Glad to have you back.. Big hugs from Scottysnerk Looks like I checked in at the right time. It still was crap here in July. Hope things stay on track.... "me and Harry got on board, that made it a lot eaisier." yikes. The ID spoofers are active again...this newsgroup is not on track and will never be. It's just the one... Just hold fire, and use your kill file. That's what the ID spoofer wants...to "killfile" HarryK or any other ID I use. Surely you understand that, right? The game seems to be to try and marginalize you. If everyone filters the spoofers each time they act up, your voice is effectively silenced in this newsgroup. Quite the little conspiracy! That is their game. I don't see why Don cares, he is still stirring up the pot and name calling... Either way, since you guys keep harping on it, I have an opinion on the spoofers too. They indeed were here to marginalize one poster, that is a fact, I do know the original spoofer quite well but he only spoofed for a day or two and was replaced by a much more prolific poster. I get the impression he was happy to step aside and watch... Quite frankly, maybe with the delicate touch of an Atomic Bomb, after all was said and done, it worked. Yes there was some collateral damage, and like any battle the "battle plan" went out the window on day one, but in the end, it worked. I have serious doubts that the target would be on board with the new policies of the oh so wise Great Sage of Zoar if he and/or his audience wasn't getting smashed into nonexistence by the spoofers... Just my opinion, since you all are posting yours, over and over again. Me? I'm just happy we got the group back with the exception of a couple who just can't help but troll.. It's the best it's been in nearly a decade. Buck up kids, talk about something fun before I have to post more motorcycle stuff.... One of my nephews started a mid-level job with a federal agency a few months ago in the area of computer security, specifically cryptology. I have no idea what he does for a living now, even if he explained it to me. What we both know, though, is that I paid for about half his college expenses through the master's degree he got last May. I do believe, though, that "resolving" usenet IDs and finding out the actual names of spoofers would be something he could do while comatose. I've been toying with the idea of asking him to do so with a couple of the spoofers here, just for grins, of course. I wouldn't do anything with the information. Oh...the "original spoofer" was Tom. The more prolific poster is flajim. no... I was the original spoofer.. About ten posts over three days then I was pushed out of the way so I sat back and watched from that point on. So, *you* started the mess, eh? Cute. Clean slate, right? -- "Clean slate"?? Your activities could be viewed as a war crime. |

Just my opinion, since you all are posting yours, over and over again. Me? I'm just happy we got the group back with the exception of a couple who just can't help but troll.. It's the best it's been in nearly a decade. Buck up kids, talk about something fun before I have to post more motorcycle stuff.... One of my nephews started a mid-level job with a federal agency a few months ago in the area of computer security, specifically cryptology. I have no idea what he does for a living now, even if he explained it to me. What we both know, though, is that I paid for about half his college expenses through the master's degree he got last May. I do believe, though, that "resolving" usenet IDs and finding out the actual names of spoofers would be something he could do while comatose. I've been toying with the idea of asking him to do so with a couple of the spoofers here, just for grins, of course. I wouldn't do anything with the information. Oh...the "original spoofer" was Tom. The more prolific poster is flajim. no... I was the original spoofer.. About ten posts over three days then I was pushed out of the way so I sat back and watched from that point on. So, *you* started the mess, eh? Cute. Clean slate, right? I'm really sorry to see this, Tosk. It just reinforces my earlier statement today regarding tuning out this newsgroup. You *really* thought this was going to last?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - What's the matter? Plonk the name callers and the spoofer, and everything else is going pretty smoothly, unless you are looking for a way out? Your inheritor, the ID Spoofer who followed in your footsteps, is now ID spoofing HarryK's ID again. You started this, you said. Now you see where it has led. |

I joined the ID spoofing for a while. When posters attempted to ignore me, I began cross-posting political posts to disrupt the rec.boats. Mea culpa. |

The spoofers have outlived their usefulness and when we had the opportunity we all remembered why we came here in the first place, adn here we are about a week later with a fairly stable base to work our way back from... Glad to have you back.. Big hugs from Scottysnerk You keep claiming that the ID spoofers served some sort of purpose here, or were useful. That's bull****. All they did was disrupt this newsgroup further, and drive away posters. The best thing that could happen to usenet would be moderated-only newsgroups. It's time to move on, and time to leave behind that silliness. Difference in opion, but I am not going to argue the past here, I don't look back.. Scotty, I'd hate to pull up some of your recent posts just to show how f'ing much you *do* look back! It would be damn nice if you'd stop. And, I've got to agree with Harry. The spoofers, one or two of them, were funny at first. The humor quickly wore off. They most certainly did nothing to *help* rec.boats. -- Hope you're having a great day! John H |

I know the season is ending. What do you do with your boat(s) over the winter if you are not in the southern climes? I store my old classic in a shed. My newer boat spends the winter on the hard in a nearby boatyard, in a cradle the previous owner had built for her. The cradle has an A-frame that can be erected to support a couple of tarps. The old boat has a simple inboard marine engine that's easy enough to service. The newer boat has a pair of diesels that i have an outside contractor service. I take the batteries home. How do you store the batteries in the winter, do you manage them during the time off? I clean the batteries when I get them home, put a bit of grease on the lugs, charge them up slowly, and then charge them up once a month to keep them fully charged. Hopefully NOT sitting on concrete. I put plywood under mine.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - The batteries and concrete thing is an urban legend. Agreed. But I do it anyway. Wood is warmer than concrete, and a warm battery is a happy battery....or is that another legend? Two things: 1) A warm battery is a more chemically active battery, thus more cranking power, and 2) a fully charged battery won't freeze where we live(-77 deg F), but a discharged battery will (20 deg F). I've resigned myself to charging up the batteries in the boat because they are too damned big to move easily, and to open the cover once a month to charge them up. |

Wow, what a lie! Paul, are you listening? This is a lie. I never, ever accused Scott of having an incestuous relation with his daughter in a tent. I never, ever accused Kevin of breaking his daughter's arms. It's all lies, lies, lies! For that matter, I never accused anyone of bestiality either, come to think of it. Anything else I need to deny? Spoofing again, little man? Just telling the truth, big man. Almost every reasonable poster has asked you to stop this ID spoofing silliness. Why are you doing it? It sure doesn't help improve the atmosphere around here. |

Buy what fits your hand.... and at 40% - 60% off even Snap-On is affordable.... Snap on feels wonderful in the hand but hits the wallet hard. By the time I got through giving the snap on guy his monthly due, it was significantly more challenging to pay rent and buy food. Yeah, I never did get that, the shinier the wrench the longer it lasts, thing. Especially since I'm still using my Dad's tools he bought in about 1927. The final nail in the coffin was the blaxk oxide tools that were equivalent to the shinies, except the chrome would flake off and FOD whatever you were working on.... Have any of you seen the briefcase style tool kits that Crescent is selling: http://www.amazon.com/Crescent-Mecha.../dp/B000BQMLLY I bought a set 2 years ago to keep on the boat and I'm very impressed with overall quality and feel. We've got a local hardware store selling them as a loss leader for about $60 or so. |

It's compact and fairly complete. There's only a few extra things that I use regularly: large Channellocks, large screwdriver, large and small crescent wrench, hammer, vice grips, crimper/stripper. |
