Wanna watch Rita?

These are the weather bouys. 42001 is right in the path and about 50
miles away (when I typed this note)
watch "Combined plot of Wind Speed, Gust, and Air Pressure" and see
the storm build. I bet it goes down in the few hours.

I watched Kartina come ashore on the east gulf bouys and saw them
start dropping offline.


Cool! At 1550 GMT, waves at 42001 were 32.5 feet, barometer falling
rapidly.

If they ever had those conditions on Lake Erie, the 'Good Rev.' would be

The weather was like that on the St Lawrence this past weekend, but we
fished anyway. Good thing, too, because there were too many smallmouth in
that river. I fixed it.

You had 32' waves on the St. Lawrence? Wow.


Yes. You doubt what I'm saying? Fortunately, our campsite was on a very high
cliff. We parked my truck on the windward side of the tent, with the wheels
on the first 6" of the fabric. Getting the campfire and stove lit was a bit
of a challenge, but I always travel with 10 gross of wooden matches that've
been dipped in clear nail polish to make them waterproof. All in all, it was
a good trip, except that 2 blue herons (Stan and Helen) moved into the tent
to avoid the storm. They kept spreading their huge wings because they
thought it looked cool, but they kept knocking the book out of my hands, or
getting the wings in the way of the flashlight. An argument ensued, but we
settled things. They were very impressed with the canned tuna we brought,
and tipped us off to some hot fishing spots.

Docking was a bitch in that kind of wind, so I gave up and just let the
storm blow the boat past the dock and all the way into the reeds at the end
of the cove, figuring "what the hell? Where's it gonna go?" I didn't wanna
have to leave the tent to bail out the boat every half hour, so I decided I
needed a complete moron who'd think the chore was fun. That was easy - the
park was full of RVs. I chose one, knocked on the door, and the chump agreed
to bail the boat all night in return for a "1500 Hours of Free AOL" CD.

Don, aren't you paying attention? Huge waves near Alexandria Bay at this
time of year. Very dangerous. I had to interrupt fishing to tow this vessel:

It was being blown out of the main channel into some rocks. Lost at least
1/2 hour of fishing because of it.

You twit, it IS cool, cool as hell! I find it very interesting,

you really so ****ing uptight that and unconcerned about science that
you don't find this stuff fascinating, hence "cool"?

Pack lots of matches, and tuna for the heron. Trust me. Bad time of year
to be in that region.

Why?? crowds?...to many weekend sailors?


Don, aren't you paying attention? Huge waves near Alexandria Bay at this
time of year. Very dangerous. I had to interrupt fishing to tow this vessel:

Doug, quit it, JimH, and JohnH can't possibly figure out how someone
could ever, ever post a picture of a boat that they don't own.

These are the weather bouys. 42001 is right in the path and
about
50
miles away (when I typed this note)
watch "Combined plot of Wind Speed, Gust, and Air Pressure" and

see
the storm build. I bet it goes down in the few hours.

I watched Kartina come ashore on the east gulf bouys and saw
them
start dropping offline.

Cool! At 1550 GMT, waves at 42001 were 32.5 feet, barometer

falling
rapidly.


What is so cool about that?

Because some people are inquistive, and like to learn, and watch
weather phenomena. Do you NOT find it interesting, or are you just
trying to ruin yet another perfectly good thread.

Yes it is interesting. No it is not cool that the storm is

intensifying.

Where did I say that it was cool that the storm was intensifying,
dip****?


sigh Chatting with you is like talking to a brick wall.


Or a tree stump ;-)



Aren't you gonna say "liebrals", you silly little ****?


I KNEW old Fritz would be here soon to stick his nose up JimH's ass!!!!
Every single time!!!

You twit, it IS cool, cool as hell! I find it very interesting,
watching the wave height grow, the barometric pressure fall, etc. Are
you really so ****ing uptight that and unconcerned about science that
you don't find this stuff fascinating, hence "cool"?


Why does it take you 2 or 3 tries to answer a simple question? I have now
seen 3 different answers from you on this. Make up your mind already.

I may find a storm interesting. I do not find a category 5 hurricane as
cool though.

BTW: Do you find that using extremely foul language and attacking the other
person in your reply somehow makes it more credible? Do you think that
folks here have more respect for you by using that language in your replies?

Sure I do. I saw Krause do it 2 times in this very NG. ;-)

So are you referring to this statement that was made here the other day?

===========================
Oh, yeah, if you notice, he didn't use that tripe when he didn't have a
boat. One can only wonder if he really does now. Seems like he was awfully
interested in letting everyone know that he was looking at one, posting
pictures, asking questions, etc. Usually those are the ones who really don't
have one!
============================

Yep, someone actually inferred that those asking questions here about their
boat and posting pictures here of it usually means they do not own
one.

I wonder who said that Kevin? Don't you think it was a pretty silly
statement to make?



Starbuck September 22nd 05 10:49 PM

Kevin,
I am surprised you didn't express your feeling of it being "cool" when the
level broke in New Orleans.

Oh oh! There goes another report to the Avon lake police, Ohio State

files on you will be bulging world wide.

*JimH* September 22nd 05 11:24 PM

Hundreds may die, millions of property damage is expected, tens of thousands
may be homeless, fuel prices will certainly spike sharply.......all from
this hurricane Kevin defines as "cool as hell".

Unbelievable.

Actually they were swells.


Actually they are listed as "wave height". Wrong yet again.


They may be listed as wave height, but the underlying wave is a swell, and
the waves are considered wind waves on top of the swells.

Unbelievable.

The technology is amazing, (maybe even "cool") the storm is terrible.
Understanding the difference does require a bit of scientifdic
curiousity though.

Would it make you feel better if I said Bill Clinton voted for the
buoy funding and al gore invented them?

Al Gore did not invent buoys.


Who invented girls? Now that was a smart guy.


Bill Clinton.


He invented fat ones.

Oh....I'm sure one of the kiddies has already reported me to the Secret

and remove a few of his teeth. :-) Helloooooo.......Carnivore.....are you
listening? I'm a hardened criminal. My cat's been yelling at the door for
almost 60 seconds and I haven't let her in yet. I'm a bad, bad man! :-)

He invented the Internet.


The trouble with that crap is, he never said that. IF you read what he
said, in context, it isn't anything like that. Pure Rush propaganda at
it's finest!

I find that it's frustrating getting anything through your thick skull.
Do you think that by lying about not posting off topic, lying about not
going to call people petty, childish names, lying about not going to
post negatively about others makes you more credible? Have you noticed
that the only one posting in this thread, that doesn't think that
watching the data from the Gulf bouys is cool, is you? Did you notice
that I never said that "a category 5 hurricane (is) cool"? Did you
notice the cool comment was BEFORE mentioning the data, but was a
direct comment to the person posting the LINK?? Hmmm???
