Making a list.......
 

.....and checking it twice.

So what is on your nautical wish list for Christmas this year?

Since we got out of boating last year (after 25 years of it) we no longer
buy things for the boat or boating related. I am therefore curious to find
out if there are any new and improved nautical gadgets and gizmo's out there
that you are hoping for.

BTW: No need to respond Eisboch....we already know you broke the bank on
your wife's gift this year. LOL!



(We all know Eisboch has already broke the bank on his wife.

A radio controlled lobster boat. About 36" long. With chain saw
engines for propulsion (two of 'em).

Wait a minute! Are you suggesting that she expects ME to pay for HER boat?

I am heading back to the cave to ponder this one ....

You've been married longer than I have - you mean you still haven't
figured that one out yet?

Even if you don't pay directly, there are indirect payment methods
which will cost you WAY more money, self-esteem and eventually,
sanity. :)

I am not familiar with the term "sanity".

Funny. I don't seem to remember voluntarily paying for half of two
horses. Or even for one whole horse. But, I suppose the mind plays funny
tricks ...

Kaern my dear - there are some things that transcend time. This is
one of them. :)

Actually, Mrs. E is doing something that my wife has actually
considered, but she suffers from motion sickness and has a weird
peripheral vision deal that limits her participation in boating.

She claims that a bigger boat would solve that problem. Her version
of a larger boat is basically a floating ranch house.

We'll see - she has a two years to go. :)

Understood.


Live long and prosper,

Tom

The key word in voluntarily.

Come of Mr E you remember her paying for half of your toys don't
you???? Did you "ask" her permission first?? of course not why
would/should you, just as why would/should she:-)

We better stop this now before it gets all scary bananas, as I said it
was just an in fun dig at Tom & he seems to have survived OK:-) Breath
in, hold.... now out slowly:-)

Careful Tom... now that Harry & Chuck ignore her, she's desperate to find
someone new to stalk. :-)

Karen deserves some credit for being the most "reformed" poster on this forum
this year.

She has been very hard on a few people in the past, but judge her in the
present as she behaves in the present rather than by her worst moments
previous.

Here's a photo of Smith in her Haystacks costume, ready for a day of
boating:

Let it drop, Harry.
