Well, he's not interested in hearing about your trawler. It's too
slow, and there's no way he'd
spend all that time getting from one place to another. Of course,
he is pretty quick on his Ducati
superbike.

His trawler isn't slow. Remember, it's got twin Volvo diesels -
probably turbocharged - to get him
to Florida at 727 speed.



The idea of spending a lot of time in exotic locations waiting for
parts
to fix a broken down old trawler with failing generators,
transmissions,
et cetera, has little appeal to me.

It's for sure that 'sitting on the hard' will be much easier on the
generator, transmissions, et
cetera. You really should crank those Volvo diesels up every couple of
years, just to move the oil
around.

And, if you're in an exotic location, what the hell's wrong with
spending some time there while
waiting for a new generator to arrive? Sounds ideal to me....planned
that way, maybe, eh?



A new boat is not a guarantee that you aren't going to have issues or
breakdowns that you may be required to address yourself while underway.

That's true, but so far maintenance has been minor, with no issues that
left us stuck anywhere.


Have you run it hard for 10-12 hours a day for over a week or two?
That's what shake things up, causes things to vibrate loose or cause
components that are going to fail prematurely to do so.

Many years ago I had to attend a retirement party or transfer party for
a guy who worked at a major engineering company. We were seated with an
older couple (I was only 30 at the time) and he told me he had joined
the company 30 years ago as a purchasing agent. I asked him what he

Sorry dude, I never have had a Cushman. How's yours? BTW, last bike I had that was equipped with a 'knobbie' was a 500 Yamaha XT like this one.

http://www.carsstone.com/images/yamaha-xt-500_key_3.jpg

Great mud tractor, but early 70's-mid 80's Yamahas didn't have the best engines. At lest it was better than the disastrous TX 500 twin that liked to break cam chains, which hammered the valves right into the pistons. (This task would usually perform at even minor acceloration with no given notice!)

http://www.cyclechaos.com/images/5/5...lue-5954-0.jpg

But it's big brother the TX 750 twin was beknownst to allow a connecting rod to ventilate the engines lower end.

http://motoprofi.com/imgs/a/a/d/p/c/...1974_7_lgw.jpg



I traded my Yamaha TT at a Yamaha/Honda dealer for a used Kawasaki KZ750.
http://kzrider.com/archive/images/pu...1123101578.jpg

Excellent bike. 4 years and about 30,000 mi. later it was about done .
But it was a fun bike.

toys for his grandkids, and to buy trashed out houses and totally refurb
them. He didn't have to have a new hobby of the week to keep himself
busy because he couldn't attain proficiency in the ones he chose.

It's for sure that 'sitting on the hard' will be much easier on the
generator, transmissions, et
cetera. You really should crank those Volvo diesels up every couple
of years, just to move the oil
around.

And, if you're in an exotic location, what the hell's wrong with
spending some time there while
waiting for a new generator to arrive? Sounds ideal to me....planned
that way, maybe, eh?



You seem to think that what might appeal to you is of universal appeal.
Oh, and typically, you're not waiting for a new generator to arrive,
you're waiting for a part on your existing generator to arrive.

I get a kick out of you "full-time retirees." You've got nothing of
consequence to do all day long, all week long, all month long, so you
have to find a zillion little hobbies to fill out your dance card. Golf,
model airplanes, RV'ing, firearms, motorcycling, bluegrass festivals,
guitars. What's next, line dancing?

Personally, I think golf, airplanes, motorcycles, photography, RV'ing,
firearms, Bluegrass
festivals, guitars, et cetera, are preferable to sitting in a basement
trying to impress people with
what a spectacular person you are and how much spectacular stuff you own.



I don't think you have anything of significance to do with your life,
and you're bored, so you spend most of your time trying to keep busy
with your hobbies.

It's funny. My uncle, my dad's bro, worked hard most of his life, got
his two daughters through college and married, and then he and his wife
moved from a Massachusetts north shore town to Florida, near Boca. This
was at 55-56. He discovered golf, and in the next 10 years, he became a
par and sometimes better golfer, playing many days a week well into his
80's. He also liked to build electro-mechanical stuff, mostly strange
toys for his grandkids, and to buy trashed out houses and totally refurb
them. He didn't have to have a new hobby of the week to keep himself
busy because he couldn't attain proficiency in the ones he chose.

You're the jack of all hobbies and master of none.

Are you jealous of your cousins having their college paid for by their dad.

I have a couple of hobbies, and other leisure activities, but that's

My wife, who is much busier with work than I am or want to be,
occasionally takes a couple of days off between vacations, but after a
couple of days, even with her hobbies, she is ready to go back to work
helping people. Her dad, who recently turned 80, still works a couple of
days a week as a consultant in his field, and he has a few leisure time
hobbies, too. I have few old friends in the labor movement, well into
their 80's, who are still actively working on union-related issues here

Many people who work or volunteer their time and efforts to support
humanitarian causes are respected and even admired. However when you
constantly ridicule, mock and taunt people because they have interests
that you don't share or because they desire to enjoy their hard won
retirement years pursuing endeavors that don't interest you, any respect

development, delivering reliable potable water, worker training, worker

rights, et cetera, in underdeveloped nations.



I also get to meet and work with interesting people in a number of

fields of endeavor, including business, labor, the fine arts, music,

theater, and movies. I get to wear a suit and tie if I want. I get to

travel to interesting places on someone else's dime. I get paid nicely

for this, and get to produce interesting deliverables.



To me, that's a lot more interesting and a lot more fun than flying

model airplanes, playing golf, RV'ing, et cetera.

Many people who work or volunteer their time and efforts to support
humanitarian causes are respected and even admired. However when you
constantly ridicule, mock and taunt people because they have interests
that you don't share or because they desire to enjoy their hard won
retirement years pursuing endeavors that don't interest you, any respect
you may think you have earned goes out the window.





This is rec.boats. I'm just trying to fit in as much as my digestive
track allows with the right-wing slime whose almost entire reason for

digestive track doesn't allow much of that, so I simply send most of
those righties straight to the filter and septic tank system without

Interesting conclusion on your part Harry.

When I review posts in rec.boats I see a lot of banter going on among
those with whom you politically disagree but I see very little displays
of ridicule, mock and taunt except to one person. You. The rest of
the newsgroup basically gets along and respects the various interests,
hobbies, stations in life of others.

You seem to be the main target of any negative posts. I get thrown in
once in a while primarily because I will discuss an issue with you.

So why are people in the newsgroup who represent all walks of life and
interests almost universally have disdain for basically one person and
the comments he makes? The only other person I know who shares that
disdain is slammer.

So you think you are entitled to use a public, non-moderated newsgroup
to spew your dislike for those who don't share your progressive liberal
views? Do you seriously think you are going to change anybody's minds?
The more you mock, ridicule, taunt and insult the stronger the resolve
of those who don't subscribe to your views becomes. If your intent is
to try to convert, your efforts are backfiring big time, just as many
liberal Democratic politicians up for re-election are finding that their
adherence to the party line is backfiring on them.

I am sure you heard that Republican David Jolly won the special election
in Florida. The area is almost equally divided between registered
Republicans and registered Democrats, so it can't be brushed off as
being a "Florida" thing. There are a lot of disgruntled voters across
the nation who are looking for a change in direction.

I saw that. A Republican retains a seat held by Republicans for 50
years. I'm not surprised. Jolly is just another conservative lobbying
whore, and is no better a public servant than the governor there, a
fellow who, among other things, pushed for mandatory drug testing of
welfare recipients and, just coincidentally, happens to own a drug
testing company. Whoosh.

you may think you have earned goes out the window.




AMEN!

That's called 'tough love'. Damn true, though!

I don't do the work I do for amusement. I do it for the reasons

I have a couple of hobbies, and other leisure activities, but

That is just sad.

Your life is work?




You don't seem to get it. I like what I do. In many cases, my work
helps
people who really need help, in this country and abroad, in
sustainable
development, delivering reliable potable water, worker training,
worker
rights, et cetera, in underdeveloped nations.

I also get to meet and work with interesting people in a number of
fields of endeavor, including business, labor, the fine arts, music,
theater, and movies. I get to wear a suit and tie if I want. I get to
travel to interesting places on someone else's dime. I get paid
nicely
for this, and get to produce interesting deliverables.

To me, that's a lot more interesting and a lot more fun than flying
model airplanes, playing golf, RV'ing, et cetera.

To each his own.


To each his own is right.

Many people who work or volunteer their time and efforts to support
humanitarian causes are respected and even admired. However when you
constantly ridicule, mock and taunt people because they have interests
that you don't share or because they desire to enjoy their hard won
retirement years pursuing endeavors that don't interest you, any
respect
you may think you have earned goes out the window.





This is rec.boats. I'm just trying to fit in as much as my digestive
track allows with the right-wing slime whose almost entire reason for
existence here is to ridicule, mock, and taunt. Fortunately, my
digestive track doesn't allow much of that, so I simply send most of
those righties straight to the filter and septic tank system without
reading their excrement.


Interesting conclusion on your part Harry.

When I review posts in rec.boats I see a lot of banter going on among
those with whom you politically disagree but I see very little displays
of ridicule, mock and taunt except to one person. You. The rest of
the newsgroup basically gets along and respects the various interests,
hobbies, stations in life of others.

You seem to be the main target of any negative posts. I get thrown in
once in a while primarily because I will discuss an issue with you.

So why are people in the newsgroup who represent all walks of life and
interests almost universally have disdain for basically one person and
the comments he makes? The only other person I know who shares that
disdain is slammer.



Most of the other non-righties long ago deserted this sinking ship. I
don't buy into the right-wing outlook on race, gender, or corporationism
uber alles.


So you think you are entitled to use a public, non-moderated newsgroup
to spew your dislike for those who don't share your progressive liberal
views? Do you seriously think you are going to change anybody's minds?
The more you mock, ridicule, taunt and insult the stronger the resolve
of those who don't subscribe to your views becomes. If your intent is
to try to convert, your efforts are backfiring big time, just as many
liberal Democratic politicians up for re-election are finding that their
adherence to the party line is backfiring on them.

Sorry, I'm not into conversions, religious or political.

But you *are* into mocking, ridiculing, taunting, and insulting. That's your bag, eh?

You are a waste of ****ing time, Krause. You should filter me soon. You're not man enough to answer
the questions posed you about the lies you tell.
