Hi Tinkerntom,

Dear Melissa, you don't think you can come in to this frackus, and
not get involved with this thread do you. You have been very
helpful to me in the past, and I certainly want to express my
appreciation,...

You're welcome! Unfortunately, my efforts to help you have not yet
yielded positive results. ;-) Oh well.

...however there are no free passes that I have heard about.

And so am I to understand that you'll enlighten me as to what I now
owe, and to whom?

Especially if you're going to use those big words around us simple
black and white types, that are just oozing with
Patriotic/nationalistic pride. Then you cuddle up with the boys
from up north and across the sea. She must be from out on the right
coast!

Actually, I've lived on both the left and right coasts; currently on
the left coast again (from whence I originated, originally).
Apparently, your ability to perceive one's point of origin, and how
that may or may not affect one's ideas, is severely limited.

But being from the right coast...

See above.

If you can answer that for me I will give you a pass on the rest of
what you said. "The Tinkering One", TnT

Is it really up to you to bestow, or not, a "pass" for anyone but
your
very own self?

Now I have some outfitting to do in the cockpit of one of my boats,
and since I might find that even more interesting than continuing
this discussion at this moment, I'll be going now. Would that be
acceptable to you? ;-)

Coming from you, this is originally originated redundancy. But I am
sure that working on the outfitting in the cockpit of one of your boats
would be much more interesting than this discussion, and will help
clear your head! So as far as I am concerned I will go ahead and issue
you a pass, though you failed to answer my question. You'll just owe me
one! Any passes from the others, you will have to work out with them.

To understand that you are back on the left coast, and that you
originated there, explains other phenomenon in some of your posting. I
am learning to not assume, though it seems that some recent stories I
heard indicated that you were on the Right coast. In fact I saw a web
picture of you launching into surf, with following story that would
indicate you were in the Oregon/Washington coast area, and known as
some sort of crazy lady paddler. But then maybe we are all crazy, so
what does that prove.

Well enjoy your outfitting, talk to you again, TnT
