Funny that you say that. The true "muscle car" era was very short-lived.
It's origins was in the early 60's with limited availability to the
consumer - manufacturers had to build a minimum number of car models and
engines (427 Ford, 426 hemi Chrysler) engines a year to qualify as
"stock" for NASCAR racing purposes. The 1964 Pontiac Tempest GTO is
considered by many to be the first mass produced "muscle car". (It's an
interesting story how how John DeLoreon managed sneak that one by the
Board of Directors at Pontiac). But, by the end of the 60's the fed had
started imposing emission requirements that lowered compression ratios and
horsepower. By 1972 there was no longer a true stock "muscle car".

Now, within the past 5 years or so and due to advancements in engineering
and engine design, there are some current model cars that can outperform
their 1960 something counterparts. For example, the new Dodge Charger R/T
with the mini-hemi is faster than a '69 Charger R/T with the high output
440.
Not by much ... but it's faster and handles much better. Same is true of
the limited production version of the new GTO.

So .... you may be driving a muscle car and not even realize it.

Regards, Dan

Thanks for the kind remark.

We're back to return to work just a bit earlier than we really wanted
to be, (and came home to a very distressing health crisis with my
90-year old father in law).

We had a great time, and enjoyed wonderful weather almost every day.
"Indulgence" ran flawlwessly, and we got a lot of spontaneous
compliments about the newly refurbushed boat. I shot a few hundred
photos and of course had to do at least a little "work" everyday to
make a portion of the cruise tax deductible. (Back with a few articles
to run this winter). During the 17 nights we were out, we ran into
people that we knew at nearly every anchorage and marina where we put
in. What a lot of fun, exchanging sea stories over hot snacks and cold
refreshments. (We did dinner at the Treehouse in Ganges with some
friends one night- and then ran into some other friends who insisted
that we join them for dinner the following night, once again at the
Treehouse. Fortunately, it's one of my very favorite spots in the Gulf
Islands.) The fun thing about boating friends is that because of the
common bond it is so easy to converse. We were invited aboard the boat
of one couple we haven't seen in about 4 years, and it seemed like we
had all been sitting around yakking just a couple of days ago. :-)

I might have posted that VHF thing here a few months ago. It was
sitting in the "hopper" when the stormwater runoff issue suddenly
became more urgent- and I tossed it into the last issue as we were
deadlining and getting ready to leave for vacation.

For those with an interest in one boater's opinion on VHF protocol,
here it is again:




Deregulated VHF, Ten Years After

It seems impossible that ten years have elapsed since the
Telecommunications Act of 1996 eliminated the licensing requirement for
VHF radios, EBIRPS, and radar transmitters operated by "voluntary"
vessels in the domestic waters of the United States.
"Voluntary" boats are vessels that are not required by law or by
international treaty to carry a radio, but do so anyway. The vast
majority of pleasure boaters in the Pacific NW are not required to
carry a VHF, but there are some excellent reasons that nearly everybody
should have a VHF radio telephone aboard, and in most cases a handheld
backup as well.

Boating rookies have been overheard to say, "I don't need a VHF. I
carry my cell phone everywhere I go." Of course when the rookie gets
into a jamb in the middle of the Strait of Juan de Fuca he or she will
realize that getting in touch with Aunt Harriet in Yakima, calling
Brother Bob in Billings, or even phoning the Coast Guard at Port
Angeles probably won't result in getting assistance very quickly.
Unless there's a life-threatening emergency, the Coast Guard will
normally attempt to find a nearby vessel willing to assist. To do so,
the Coast Guard will employ the technology the rookie will learn he or
she should have had aboard: a VHF radio. Odds are minute that the
imperiled boater will know the number of a cell phone aboard even a
single boat within sight, but most boats with a VHF will be complying
with the protocol to monitor Channel 16.

As useful as VHF can be, careless or malicious misuse of the technology
endangers all of us. Boaters with more than ten years experience on the
water will clearly remember the time when each vessel with a VHF was
required to apply for a FCC license and call letters. An oft-cited
justification for deregulating the service was the theory that
decreased regulation would probably result in more universal use, and
increased use may indeed be a benefit. "Traffic" on the VHF
continues to get goofier and more informal year by year, with bogus
distress calls, long chatty conversations, and obscene remarks
(directed at no specific vessel identified by name) to "Watch your
blankety blank wake!" cluttering up the emergency frequencies. The
bogus "mayday" calls present an obvious problem, and it's easy to
recognize that two boaters chatting on 16 about the salmon bite or the
waitress at the waterfront coffee shop are hogging a frequency that may
be needed, at any moment, for an emergency broadcast. Increasingly
frequent bouts of " rules of the road rage" on the VHF can also
have deadly consequences if boaters begin turning off the VHF radios to
avoid listening to the angry shouting and outraged epithets of some
poor slob in a rocking boat.

With mandatory boater education laws now in effect, there may be reason
to hope the situation will improve. The worst VHF offenders will
certainly include some people who don't know any better, as well as
others who know the rules but choose to amuse themselves by violating
them. Education won't deter the deliberate jerks, but some who might
misuse the radio because they were not familiar with proper procedure
will happily learn the appropriate protocols.

No small amount of confusion prevails regarding the use of VHF by US
vessels in Canadian waters, but according to the FCC website
(wireless.fcc.gov/marine/fstcht 14.html):

(page 3): "If you travel to a foreign port, (e.g. Canada, Mexico,
Bahamas, British Virgin Islands) a license is required. Additionally,
if you travel to a foreign port, you are required to have an operator
permit as described in Section III."

(page 4):
"If you plan to dock in a foreign port (e.g., Canada or the Bahamas)
or if you communicate with foreign coast or shop stations, you must
have a "Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit (sometimes referred
to by boaters as an "individual license") in addition to your ship
radio station license....However, if (1) you merely plan to sail in
domestic or international waters without docking in any foreign ports
and without communicating with foreign coast stations, and (2) your
radio operates only on VHF frequencies, you do not need an operator
permit."

According to the FCC, not only do we need a ship's radio station
license but we also need an individual Restricted Radiotelephone
Operator Permit if we plan to dock in any Canadian ports. That would
include most of us who travel north for summer cruising, but I
wouldn't be surprised to discover that few US boats in Canadian
waters are compliant with the ship's station licensing rules or that
very few boaters actually have an additional "individual license"
as the regulations require. Most of us aren't scrambling rescue
services with phony May Day broadcasts, monopolizing the emergency
frequency with chit-chat, or turning the air waves blue with profanity-
but more of us probably need to dig out that old FCC license and check
the expiration date before crossing into Canadian waters. More of us
are probably operating illegally that we realize.

Some months ago, Bert posted that he quit high school to join the marines.

More recently, Bert posted that he was graduated from high school.

Funny that you say that. The true "muscle car" era was very
short-lived.
It's origins was in the early 60's with limited availability
to the
consumer - manufacturers had to build a minimum number of
car models and
engines (427 Ford, 426 hemi Chrysler) engines a year to
qualify as
"stock" for NASCAR racing purposes. The 1964 Pontiac
Tempest GTO is
considered by many to be the first mass produced "muscle
car". (It's an
interesting story how how John DeLoreon managed sneak that
one by the
Board of Directors at Pontiac). But, by the end of the 60's
the fed had
started imposing emission requirements that lowered
compression ratios and
horsepower. By 1972 there was no longer a true stock
"muscle car".

Now, within the past 5 years or so and due to advancements
in engineering
and engine design, there are some current model cars that
can outperform
their 1960 something counterparts. For example, the new
Dodge Charger R/T
with the mini-hemi is faster than a '69 Charger R/T with the
high output
440.

Nope, Bert's pointed out here that he has to be at work at certain
times, etc. Meaning he's got a nine to five type job. Those who are
actually successful in life often work more than that, but also don't
need to be told when to show up, etc.

You forgot to look up the definition of schnapps.

No, I didn't. Please see below. If you have any more questions, please
feel free to ask. No question is too stupid!

From this site:

http://www.physics.uq.edu.au/people/...iskeymore.html

What is whiskey?
Whiskey is a barrel-aged distilled spirit made from grain or malt. It
differs from other types of grain alcohol in that it absorbs colour
and flavour from the barrels during aging,
it retains more flavour from the fermented mash by being distilled at
a lower proof
and being less thoroughly filtered. As a result, it is much more
flavoursome than vodka. Unlike gin and akvavit, it doesn't have other
flavourings added.

And from this website:
http://www.webtender.com/db/ingred/125

Schnapps
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Generic name for a flavorful alcoholic beverage made from grain or
potato spirits, and flavored with various herbs or fruits. Schnapps
can range from sweet, like a liqueur, to dry as an infused vodka.

Denmark and Germany produce the majority of schnapps

Basskisser,

Do you know how to read? The very first sentence in your definition is:

"Whiskey is a barrel-aged distilled spirit made from grain or malt."

Schnapps is not barrel-aged, and by your own definition is not a Whiskey.

You dumb **** it CONTAINS whiskey......
are you going to comment on the REST of the definitions?

We will ignore the fact that the vast majority of Schnapps is made from
potatoes. While you can use grain alcohol instead, it still does not
qualify as a whiskey, because it is not barrel aged.

Keep up the good work, your record is still intact, wrong again.

PS It does seem like you learn a lot from Harry, I see you even copy his
technique of using sock puppets and having conversations with yourself.

Schnapps is not whiskey, and it can be very expensive.

Yes it IS made from grain alcohol, or WHISKEY. What is confusing you
is your desire to sound like you know what you're talking about, when
in fact you don't.
Get a dictionary.

No, but it would mean that when you were eating apple pie, that you
