There you go, once again reminding me of my cost per fish. :)

They've all be fun and memorable however, and the 8 or 9 Mahi Mahi
have been very tasty.

Yep, I'll certainly never forget my $416,158.00 tuna.



Sounds like you got pirated.

By a Polish pirate no less.

My tuna was less than that (I think), but he was smaller than yours as
I recall.

For those involved in the catch, it gets bigger every year. :-)

Oh, no, it's that new technology again!

its-a-carcycle/#7285-5


Amortize the cost of the vehicle into that cost to go 200 miles.

The more fish you catch with your boat the cheaper the fish become.


As with any new technology, there are improvements to be done. Do you
still read by candle light? When kerosene lamps were up and coming,
kerosene was expensive, and more dangerous than a candle.


Electric cars have not advanced in 100 years.

That's not entirely true.

Battery technology has advanced a lot, and the Volt is a much more
comfortable, faster, safer and luxurious car than anything that
existed 100 years ago. I'd buy one now if the price was more in line.

Remind me to post a picture of my neighbors electric boat one of these
days. It looks better and better every time the price of fuel goes
up.

I am married to a battery expert. The battery materials have changed but
the basic properties of a battery have not changed.

We first started riding horses without saddles and then with saddles.
The horse didn't change but, the ride was more comfortable.

That would be interesting to see.

Power to weight ratios have certainly improved a great deal, as has
longevity. I've always thought of both as being "properties" but
perhaps not.
