I'm referring to the struggles of Randy McCloy Jr., the miner who was
rescued from that mine explosion in West Virginia, but is in serious
shape in the hospital.

Certainly the public wants to know and is entitled to know that he is
alive and in treatment, but hardly an hour goes by without more intimate
details of his condition being announced. What's next? Displaying the
contents of his bedpan?

It's enough to know that the guy got out alive. If he recovers, maybe
we'll get a wave from him on TV. But these damned incessant and
intrusive news reports and interviews...enough already!

Do you have anything of substance to contribute to rec.boats?
Of course not.

Harry,
Don't you normally come south for some fishing in the winter? You
planning on coming to Fl. anytime soon?

I'm ready for spring so I can take my daughter back to the lake for
some great skiing and take her fishing for once.

Those past warm days in the first week of Jan. (65 degrees) made me
want to take the boat out, even though the water is waaaay too cold.
It's hard to pass up a nice day.

I suppose I have about 3 months to wait, though....

There he goes...again, and only a few hours after once again saying he was
climbing back aboard the wagon.


All I did was post the truth Harry. You can make your own inferences about
it.

I think he's referring to your apology the other day for getting into it with him,
and then letting yourself get sucked into it again. Filter him.

I am putting him back in John. I should have done it earlier after I saw
his reply to Chuck.

Do note, however, that my reply to Krause was nothing more than an
observation about what he did to me and my wife by stalking us and posting
our personal information here in this NG......yet then complaining about
some lacking respect for others privacy. His comment stunk of hypocrisy.

And your respect for boating and privacy?

Yes, I am referring to his oft-repeated apologies, and his frequent
falling off the wagon, over and over and over and over and over. It's
kind of silly.

Hertvik has no self-control.

I find it all quite amusing.
You can bet the farm that the Good Rev. can't go a day without a dust up
with someone........anyone!

JimH,
This is a classic Harry troll. It is one of his favorite ones when the
fish are not biting.

Don,
You might be correct, but nothing is gained by egging anyone else on,
except a NG where we spend all the time flaming each other. If someone
else wants to lose their temper, so be it. Let's just ignore it.

My boat is in a boatel, which is crammed full of 'winter storage' boats from slips.
There is no way I could get to my boat if I wanted to, until mid-March or so. That
relieves a lot of the 'nice day' pressure.

There's always motorcycle riding and golf for those extra nice days!

JohnH,
I am wondering why you are thinking about getting a new boat. What features
are you looking for in a new boat, that you current boat doesn't offer?

The big change, for me, would be to an outboard and a cabin.

My boat has an I/O which takes up a lot of the space in the boat. The engine cover
isn't totally wasted space, though, because it becomes a bait station, table, seat,
etc., as needed. Without it, I'd have to have a cooler or other surface to perform
the same services.

In cold weather, a cabin would be nice. But, in hot weather they can be sweltering.

Hell, I go through the new boat thing every year, and haven't bought one yet! I
eventually convince myself that my boat is great for what I want to do with it.

Actually, on the hottest days on the Bay, the cabin in our Parker is
pleasant. All the windows open, and the white cabintop and sides reflect
an awful lot of heat and sunlight.

On the hottest days in the bay, the fish usually aren't biting anything anyway, or so
it seems. What are you going to use for bait next summer? Have you tried the new
artificial bloodworm substitute yet? (Fishbites ?)

Last year I couldn't find a croaker anywhere.
