Harry,
You are on vacation, put down your laptop and do some sightseeing. Damn you
say your wife is so beautiful and wonderful, but even on vacation you prefer
rec.boats over spending time with your "young bride". She must be royally
****ed at you, or maybe she prefers you spend your time in rec.boats.

We're having a tropical storm of sorts on Oahu, which is simply NOT
ALLOWED. It's supposed to be mostly gone by tomorrow. But it'll be a
museum day today. Actually, it has lightly sprinkled every day, but
usually not more than a few minutes at at time.

I'm still surprised by the relatively small number of small pleasure boats
hereabouts, but there are not many harbors or marinas.

Harry, look at the bright side, not a lot of bays = not a lot of
Bayliners.
It must be their blue water allergy that keeps them out of Hawaii.

Harry,

I'm glad you're having a Hawaiian getaway. Rain or shine it beats the hell
out of what I'm up to these days.

Seriously, though, can you leave the political commentary out of your
boat/pleasure related topics and save it for your political topics? It's
not like there's a shortage of political threads in rec.boats. Just a
friendly request (and yeah, I know what I can do with it and where I can put
it).

One of my best family vacations in Hawaii included days of wind and rain,
more than the usual. Great thing about Hawaii is how hard it is to ruin the
vacation; no matter what, you're still in Hawaii!

Yes, the rottenest day on Kauai'i is still better than the best day in
S. ILLINOIS.

My cousin was living in Hawaii and announcements came out that he was
marrying a girl that also lives in Hawaii. My wife and daughters were
jumping for joy. Then the wedding invitation came and the wedding was going
to be held in Findly, IL on Dec. 30th. My wife and daughters, when the found
out, said he's your cousin have fun at his wedding.

You weren't there on September 11, 1992, huh? My son and
grandchildren (ages 4, 6, 10 and 12 then) were there that day. My
wife left on the 9th to return to the mainland. I don't think you
would say that day was better than the best day in S. ILL.

True, the law of averages will finally break, but in general the above
still stands.

But In the last few years tornados have reaked havok with us.
Allendale Il. was jsut abotu blown off the map. Flora IL lost a whole
section of town. Clay City got a good cleaning. so.........

Harry, look at the bright side, not a lot of bays = not a lot of Bayliners.

"Bayliner" ... how do you think they got their name???


John October 2nd 05 06:52 PM

Harry,
You're right, it is an old joke. I just checked, that thread made it to
178 posts. Speaking of old jokes and bayliners, does the king of the
Kansas bayliner Fleet still post here?

Have a great time on vacation.
John

By the way Harry, I moved from the Northeast to the Arizona desert last
year. I dont know how people survive without blue water.
Lakes are too damn boring with zero challenges. No big water and always
in sight of land. Finally, a place where bayliners fit in. I miss the
ocean.

Back in the 50's, 60's, and 70's, Arizona had the most boats per capita
in the nation. Arizona is a great place for a boater to be based, and it
always has been. Now it could be that hot humid Floriduh, and the
bitterly cold mosquito (moskeeto for Harry) infected Minnesota, have
finally caught up with Arizona in this particular category.
