BTW, Great Day on the Bay
 

Actually got out of the house at 7:30 this morning and was at the marina
before 8, waiting for one of the forklift operators to launch Yo Ho. He
showed up on time.

The weather was beautiful today, with bright sunny skies, a light breeze
and the usual 1' to 2' chop on Chesapeake Bay. Bought some squid and
some spot from JJ's Bait and Tackle, along with 50 gallons of regular,
and headed south. I was going to run down to Buoy 72 and the Holland
Bar, but it was such a nice day, we went sightseeing along the way, and
only got as far as the Gas Docks. Went back north to the Nuke Plant and
caught almost a dozen small blues, what we used to call "snapper blues"
in Connecticut. They were about 12" to 15" long, and great fighters on
really light tackle.

On the way back, we stopped at Breezy Point, just to see how it fared
from Isabel. The camper park lost a few trees; they are still there and
toppled. Everything else looked about the same.

Only a few more weekends of good weather until I put the boat away for
the winter. Yo Ho did very well in this, her maiden season. I've got a
couple of very minor things for the dealer to attend to - this Parker is
a solid boat.

Ciao.

Glad you had a nice day Harry but it is sad you have to tell it to a bunch of strangers
what you did today to achieve any satisfaction in it.

Don't you have a wife, family and friends you can relive your trip with? Or why not
just relish the day and tuck it away for future fond remembrance? Do you rely on the
NG as your only outlet in life?

I know you will flame me for this, and frankly I could care less if you do, but I am
really being honest in my question to you.

I've been trying to convince my wife that a summer trip to your area
would be delightful, but she's a southern belle, and thinks if it isn't
97F in July and August, with matching humidity, there's something wrong.
I've almost got her convinced about a trip to the Pacific NW, with tales
of fine, soft days (she's of Irish ancestry), but she's leery of the
temps there, too.

October has been stunning so far. Just about perfect with temperatures in
the high 60's....better than summer unless you want to swim in the ocean.
Air is clear as a bell...none of that summer haze.
see http://www.celtic-colours.com/default.html
Seems to be lots of Irish and French Acadian music mixed in with the
Scottish.
This time of year you get double value for your money...the usual fall
foliage sightseeing and the music festival.

I'm not sure what "Tak that NOYB" means, but I suppose you mean to rub my
face in the fact that Florida didn't have an island that was rated the "most
beautiful island in the World". Is that it?


I've been to a lot of islands that are more beautiful than any island found
in Florida (Aruba, Whidbey Island, WA; the Hawaiian islands; etc). I could
have chosen to open a practice and live near any of 'em. But it was the
combination of 300 sunny days per year, the warm sub-tropical climate, and
the beautiful sandy beaches and islands that drew me to Florida. Also, I
wanted to be able to boat 356 days each year.

When my brother lived in Seattle, I always commented that if I could move
Seattle's beauty to Arizona's climate, then that'd be the place that I live.
Since that place doesn't exist, Florida provided a happy medium.

Everyone of the Canadians that come down here during the winter months for

only a small number fall under your 'bagging on' category.

Read my post again, Bobdee. People who travel to the US for leisure are
usually not the same as the idiots that sit up in Canada and just keep
sniping at America. Whether they "patronize my practice" or not, is
irrelevent.

BTW, Great Day on the Bay
 

NYOB,

Read your post, didn't quite agree with what you said, and thought I'd
make a joke. Sorry, I hope you realize it was more at the expense of our
current policies than it was at you personally.

But -

What is probably less relevant than you think, is the relationship of
migrating Canadians versus their viewpoints. Obviously I can't speak for
everyone, but we tend to excercise more politeness and tact when visiting
somewhere else, as tourists are in part "at the mercy" of their hosts.

For example, If you live in Cleveland, you're likely to be express an
opinion that the Browns are great and the Pittsburg Steelers suck.
However, if you travel to Pittsburg, and walk into a bar you've never been
in before, you'd be an idiot if you said "Steelers Suck" without
solicitation. Even with solicitation, you would most likely express your
viewpoint in a more tactful manner such as: "Yeah, the Steelers are okay,
but I like the Browns".

In our area we routinely have Canadian guests. The smart ones will be
polite and respect the viewpoints and customs of the country they're
visiting. But as you get to know them and their comfort level increases,
you find that they are their own countrymen and do not wholeheartedly
agree with us on alot of topics. They don't agree with American
policies, but don't hold any American individual accountable, any more
than we should hold canadians at large accountable for a few of the less
intelligent people who would visit without restraining their point of
view.

In other words the people who travel to the US are indeed the same people
who sit and have anti-American viewpoints. However, most of these people
are smart enough not to express their viewpoint in discourteous manner,
and/or do not disklike the American people despite their viewpoints.

I also take exception with labeling those with "anti-American" viewpoints
as idiots. I'm sorry, but with "reality TV" shows such like "Joe
Millionaire", or "American Idol", congressmen who take pride in renaming
fried potatoes, tabloid news media, and often self-serving foreign
policies, thinly guised as altruistic motives, we supply more than enough
fodder for their anti-American snipping attacks.

I prefer my own dentist in the Washington, D.C., area. Not only is he a
fabulous dentist, he devotes an entire month of his life each year to
doing charity dental work on kids in his native Korea. My kind of guy.

Telling a Usenet newsgroup something does not prevent one from telling the same
story to people in The Real World(tm). I think it's safe to say that many of us
have multiple "outlets" in our lives besides Usenet.

I know you will flame me for this, and frankly I could care less if you do, but I am
really being honest in my question to you.

Actually got out of the house at 7:30 this morning and was at the marina
before 8, waiting for one of the forklift operators to launch Yo Ho. He
showed up on time.

The weather was beautiful today, with bright sunny skies, a light breeze
and the usual 1' to 2' chop on Chesapeake Bay. Bought some squid and
some spot from JJ's Bait and Tackle, along with 50 gallons of regular,
and headed south. I was going to run down to Buoy 72 and the Holland
Bar, but it was such a nice day, we went sightseeing along the way, and
only got as far as the Gas Docks. Went back north to the Nuke Plant and
caught almost a dozen small blues, what we used to call "snapper blues"
in Connecticut. They were about 12" to 15" long, and great fighters on
really light tackle.

On the way back, we stopped at Breezy Point, just to see how it fared
from Isabel. The camper park lost a few trees; they are still there and
toppled. Everything else looked about the same.

Only a few more weekends of good weather until I put the boat away for
the winter. Yo Ho did very well in this, her maiden season. I've got a
couple of very minor things for the dealer to attend to - this Parker is
a solid boat.

Ciao.



The short answer is that "Jim," aka "Dennis," is a horse's ass.



& you're a liar who does not "own" Yo Ho nor any other boat.


"If" you did even go out on it on the weekend it was just another of
your paid charters.

I prefer my own dentist in the Washington, D.C., area. Not only is he a
fabulous dentist, he devotes an entire month of his life each year to
doing charity dental work on kids in his native Korea. My kind of guy.



I don't know. But every July or August, he goes to Korea, where he's a
circuit-riding dentist, visiting orphanages for a couple of days each,
and stopping off at some free clinics. Like many Koreans, he hopes for
reconciliation some day between the two halves of his country and, I
suspect, if it ever happens, he'll lead brigades of dentists into the
North, to take care of kids there.

I suspect he does it as pay-back. He was born in Korea, came here as a
young boy, and his extended family has done pretty well here. A number
of them are involved in charitable work for the country they left behind.

Two of my wife's professors are involved in similar work at orphanages
in the People's Republic of China. The orphanages are full of baby and
toddler girls, abandoned by their parents at the doorstep because of
China's one child per family rule. These families wanted boys, not
girls. I think my wife is getting roped into "getting involved."

It takes an awful lot of this kind of work to counter the ugly American
image the current U.S. administration is promulgating.



Sorry no comment needed I only answer to add it to your other lies as
proof, if any were needed as to your mental illness, you're one sick
puppy Krause!!

Have you even noticed how liars create fantasy people in their own self
image?? Take our resident liar Harry, he's clearly of Vietnam age & just
as clearly from his almost daily ****canning of his own country here a
traitorous cowardly dog, so what does he do he makes up a fantasy boat
dealer father, hoping then nobody will notice he has no boating
experience whatsoever, nor knowledge other than the very little he can
plagiarise & regurgitate here.

Honestly he must have a father, Yes??? probably late, but how sad that
Harry can't even remember him for what he really was, which is I suspect
an honest hardworking Joe as most or our fathers were in those times,
certainly not a lying cheating boat dealer & as I said Harry even tries
to lie about why his fantasy Dad shares his own characteristics, as
unbelievable as his lies are, can anyone honestly imagine you needed
pleasure boat dealers at home during the war???

What a load of BS complete BS!!!

It's too bad my dad isn't alive. You would have enjoyed talking to him. He
started collecting small outboards in the late 1930's, and went into the
boat
business as WW II was starting, as an add-on to a little machine shop
business
he had. During the war, he turned out experimental brass shell casings
for the
Army and hopped up outboards for the Navy, which wanted to use them on
smaller
landing craft. I had photos at one time of my father with Ole Evinrude
himself.
My mother knew one of Evinrude's wives...she was a minor movie star or
singer...I forgot which. Maybe both.

Here in the US, expressing disdain, disgust, disagreement, and distrust of any
administration currently in power is a healthy part of self government. It may
be different in AUS- I wouldn't know since I haven't spent time there and am
not qualified to render an opinion about what type of speech is appropriate
there.

Many in the US would agree with you latele. Our esteemed fellow citizens who
are so quick to holler "treason" and "sedition" every time a dissident speaks
out were certainly singing a different tune just four short years ago.

For most people, it's a party thing. They're happy when one party or another is
in power, and that president can do no wrong for the duration of his term. Some
of us see the D and R parties as identical wheels on opposite ends of an axle.
They actually need one another to function effectively, and while they are
separate they are definitely connected.

Then there are others who are independent. Some of the independents sit
squarely on the differential, an equal distance from both wheel. Some of us are
so suspicious of the axle we want no part of either wheel, and we keep a bit of
distance where we (hope we) can better observe where the gravel truck is headed
and make sure we don't get run over in its course.

Ole Evinrude's wife was Francis Langford, She was part of the Bob Hope
