Sure wouldn't want to scratch the Highlander.

No need to be intimidated by a fence or a stairway. Move em, dummy.


Gee, John just whined about Don's alleged name calling, I wonder if
he'll admonish you as well? I'd bet not.

Some posters here are interested in eliminating the snarliness and
name-calling and others, such as FlaJim/Hank, are not.


You couldn't not be snarley if your life depended on it.

Jim...a number of us are trying to get this newsgroup back the way it should be.
The question is...are you with or against us?

I'll need a complete list of who "us" is so that I can evaluate youuns
behavior. I hope you are sincere about changing your ways, but surely
you can appreciate that many of us are skeptical that you are motivated
to do so.
So, for now, you can count me neutral. I'm neither with nor agin.

I dunno. Even if you bolted it someone to a concrete driveway,
"winding"
a boat up the driveway on its trailer might pull it loose.


Did that thing say 500 dollars! Holy crap!...

Screw everybody. If I had a boat I couldn't move safely myself I would
probably spend the grand and get an electric mover... or:

1, Buy a cheap used rototiller and pull the blade off, have a friend
weld or bolt a ball on it...

2, Get a cheap automotive winch from harbor freight and mount it in the
garage or on a post or similar near where you need the boat to be...

With all due respect, after a long day on the water the last thing you
want to do is "walk" or push a heavy boat up the driveway...

It's not a heavy boat.


Heavy is relative... My boat is not heavy either but I can't pull it
around the yard myself...


"I can't" you say? I was certain you could if you really wanted to.
Maybe I was wrong.


Not the 16 footer, in grass, down in the backyard... I use our lawn
tractor or just go grab it with the jeep.

Then you'll have to stop this stuff.
"Don't listen to Dingy..."

What's so hard to understand about that?

I hope the folks that really want it to change succeed.

Another lying statement by Donnies Master, the charlatan.
