Venturing out this weekend?
 

I'm not.

This is one weekend that I don't venture out anywhere with a boat
unless it's in my own pond or some of the small ponds around the
general area.

How about y'all?

We always went out on the 4th weekend, just keeping an extra sharp lookout
for drunks and those not having a clue as to what they were doing.

Nope, Lake Lanier is insane the 4th. Lake Lanier Islands has a huge
fireworks display, and all of the people that have more money for boats
than they have sense will be out. They have big boats, and you'd think
that they knew how to handle them, huh? NOT!

We are... or at least, planning to...

Well, I don't blame you. If I had to venture out into the huge crowd of
violently drunk butt-heads that are sure to congregate around the major
metro areas, I'd stay home and watch fireworks on TV. However, around
here the crowds are smaller and the percentage of belligerent ignoramii
is lower. My plan is to be wary.

However we hope have a few friends go out Sunday evening with us, anchor
& watch the fire works show, then head for the barn. Frankly I'd prefer
to go by ourselves & anchor out all night, but apparently that's not in
the cards.

Some. We have a bunch of friends and family gathering at the bay but
Saturday is a community fund raiser Jamboree so we'll spend most of
the day participating in that. Sunday we're going to bar-b-q so may go
fishing a little then shoot fireworks on the beach after dark.
Probably fish a little Monday before everyone goes home but I plan to
take a few days off and fish after the crowds leave - hopefully
offshore if weather permits. Fortunately, there is enough room on the
bay that it doesn't get too crowded even when there are a bunch of
boats around.

I still cannot figure out why anyone would want a "Big" boat on that
lake, unless it is being used as a weekend condo.

Hell, there are huge personal use boats on Lanier. It does have 900 or
so odd miles of shorline. There's also live aboard 90 foot houseboats,
etc. It's a playground for Atlanta's wealthy. It's very pretty, but
overused in the summer. I'm careful in my bass boat in summer, it gets
kinda scary out in deep water striper fishing with those idiots in
there trawlers and houseboats, not knowing a damned thing about rules
of the road. I stay mostly in the coves in summer. Good thing about it,
being quite hilly there are lots of coves to get into that are big
enough to tube, fish and ski in.

So, you'll be with a boater. How nice.



Your continued obsession with me is getting old Krause. Go find someone to
stalk and obsess over.

As soon as you admit you lied when you claimed I threatened you and your
wife.

Otherwise, Go Pee Up A Rope.

It was no lie and there is nothing to confess. You have demonstrated time
and time again to this NG the extent to which you have stalked me and my
wife and the threats you made to us were real.

Continue with your obsession with me. I was giving you a chance to finally
behave....you can't so back into the bozo bin you go.

Ta-ta.

Since it's raining up here, I'll stay put. Besides. it's more fun to be
sanding drywall crackfiller over your head and breathing in the fine
particles. Tomorrow we work on the 'return, stoop & casing' of the five
new windows we installed recently.

I expect we'll see him in his own reality show soon.

I went through that. It's great fun, eh? Blech.



I start out wearing my respirator mask and my face shield..but soon tire
of that and take my chances.

If the weather cooperates (not likely)...


Fortunately, the Puget Sound is a big enough pond to accommodate just
about everyone - from the USS Abraham Lincoln to my little Blue-Boat. :)

Nope, me neither. Will have a back-yard BBQ with some friends, watch the DC
fireworks on TV, and just cool it.

Working. Tough schedule. Deadlines don't move.

Of course they do - it's the effect of moving them that causes the
problems. :)

I hear you about the software crap. That's why I stayed on the
hardware side of things - that was I could bitch and complain at the
software guys. :)

On the bright side, my daughter has taken on another entrepreneurial spirit.
She started a company called Mer-Maids. She is cleaning boats in her spare
time. Tomorrow she has a job cleaning a 30' Searay. She gets paid well. Damn
well because she is pretty and wears a bikini while she works. Her tips are
big!!! Besides the fact that she gets about $300 for 4 hours of work.

Awright!!!! That's a great idea and I'll bet she does get some decent
money for that kind of work. Clever name.

Damn, I wish I were born handsome instead of stupid.

I know - it's a burd....oh, wait - you were talking about yourself.

Sorry. :)

We went out today from about 1 pm till 9 pm. Observations:

1. A guy lights up a cigarette while gassing up next to us at the gas
docks. We yell at him and he reluctantly, with an attitude, puts it out by
throwing it the cigarette in the water.

2. 2 close calls with other boats failing to yield...we finally slow in
each case and let the assholes pass in front of us (they were coming at us
from our port side).

3. We were passed at a fairly good rate of speed (leaving a nice wake) in
a 2 boat wide river channel and a no wake zone.

Considering that we spent most of the time anchored at 2 different swimming
spots (maybe spending 2 hours cruising) this was a high number of incidents.

The assholes are out in full force.

I was till this happened....
