My idea of winter boating, is shopping around for one while prices are
low! ?: )

Winter boating: One of the benefits of living in the Pacific NW. Basic
requirements, stay warm and dry. We'll get out for about 1 weekend per
month or at least one long day trip
every month between now and spring, when we can begin boating more
comfortably more often. Hooray for diesel heaters. :-)

Man! I wonder how many tons of ice is on that thing!


Rest assured, that when it thaws, the owners will find roof leaks they
never thought they had!

I'm surprised that boat hasn't swamped with all of that extra weight.

That's more my concept of "winter" boating. :)

My concept of winter boating where I grew up was the New York Boat Show.
About all we did with "outside water" was ice skate on it, from November
to March.

Or that. :)

Although I never got the hang of ice skating for some reason. I could
"skate" as in go in one direction, but it was a wobbly kind of thing -
just could never quite get it.

Same with snow skiing - never could quite get the hang of it. Just
not coordinated enough I guess. I do wish they had had snow boards in
my day - I think I could have handled that fine.

Let's see. You hate cold. You don't snow ski nor ice skate. What to
hell are you doing in the equivalent of Siberia???

Just like getting to Carnegie Hall - practice, practice, practice...

Darn near killed myself in the lower part of the learning curve but I
was determined.

Crash and burn. Repeat as needed.

I now regard snow as an abstract concept not yet proven to exist.

I would think that weight would do some major damage to the boat,
stressing the railing resulting in some leaks around the stanchions next
summer.

I spent my first winter as a skater playing goalie in our pickup hockey
games. That way, I didn't have to skate too much. It was traditional
that the worst skater played goalie.


I used to organize a pick-up type of hockey league at work. Sometimes we
played amoung ourselves, and other times we would play other companies
to split the ice rental. I still have the 'Mother Corp' hockey jersey
somewhere.
One of my treasures positions back in the 60s was a pair of CCM Tacks
worn by Bobby Hull in a commercial. Trouble was, the skates were only
size 8.5 so I had to buy an early model of Lange moulded boot type
skates. Those are still in the basement collecting dust.
My hockey position was defenceman because I was slow skating and
couldn't turn to the right as well as I turned to the left.
When we were kids we grew up playing 'ground hockey all
fall/winter/spring. Those were the days!

Our pickup hockey games were played on a little lake north of Westville,
a suburb of New Haven. There were no rules there. The city's outdoor
skating rinks did not allow pickup hockey games, and the indoor old New
Haven Arena did not allow anything other than skating in a big circle to
music.

I was never good enough a skater to even try out for our high school's
varsity hockey team. Those guys could skate!

We didn't allow "lifting" in our pickup hockey games. No one wanted to
loose teeth or an eye. If you slammed the puck and it hit someone above
the legs, the opposing team got a point.


In our work games, we didn't allow slapshots or supposedly body
checking... but any kind of wrist shot was ok.
I was only injured once when I hit knee on knee with a guy on my own
team. He was a bit of a Tasmanian Devil and all over the place. I saw
him coming but couldn't avoid him and that had me limping for a week or so.
Lake/pond hockey wasn't as common here on the coast as most of the
country. The weather is too flakey (numerous freezes & thaws) thanks to
the influence of the Atlantic Ocean.

I never played hockey in high school. No frozen ponds 10 blocks from San
Francisco Bay. Was an ice rink in Berkeley. Female neighbor went there
every morning at 6am to practice skating so she could be in the Ice Follies.
Her uncle owned them. She did do the IF for a year. Loved basketball.
Just slow and in those years could not hand check. If you touched someone
else was a foul.

Hal Perry from my high school. Very nice man, met him last year, was only
about 5'11" tall and still was a great BB player. He set history when he
first played for USF by having the first majority black BB team on the floor
for a major college basketball game. And the first majority black player
team to win a national title. And the USF team was the best in the nation
for a couple of years. They did have a couple of other pretty good black
players also. KC Jones and Bill Russell. Pretty good for a academic public
high school.

My reasons were too cold out to play hockey. I didn't like cold even
when I was a kid, didn't care much for sledding and getting snow packed
in everywhere. I tried to play basketball, but wasn't tall enough. I
wrestled all through high school.

My high school basketball team's tallest player was only 6'2 and we won
the state AAA championships my senior year. This was the same year Ralph
Samson played. Good thing his high school was in AA school.

That's nothing! I met Antonino Rocca once at the old Madison Square
Garden. I was maybe 8. He told me to "drink a lot of milk and grow big and
strong." Never heard of him, eh? He was a famous pro wrestler.



Was friends with Bobo Olson when I was a kid. He lived in the neighborhood.
And was struck out by Ernie Brolio during pickup games during the summer
after he retired. He was from my highschool. When I learned how hard it is
to hit a really well thrown fastball.

Samson played. Good thing his high school was in AA school.

Ok, you forced me into it.

I struck out Anthony Richard "Tony" Conigliaro in his final at high
school at bat when I was a Freshman in high school.

So there.

Pffffhhhhhtttt.....

One of my aunts was set up for a blind date with Roger Staubach and she
didn't go. I missed out on having an Uncle Roger.

I had an Aunt who dated Tony Kubek.

The guy was a prick.

And I don't mind saying so publicly...

So? I had an aunt who lived in Chicago.

No, but when I was in high school, the manager of the local drive in
theater rented a room from us. That sure saved me a lot of money. And it
helped in a few other ways also.

True story. On one of our annual fishing trips, we were on Center Hill
Lake in Tenn. Town nearest us was Smithville. Well, one of the guys
wanted to go to a tackle shop so I go with him. Someone gave us
directions to this place. I said to my buddy, there it is over there,
Aaron Tippin Outdoors. He goes, Aaron Tippin, he's a country singer.
Not into country much, the name didn't hit home. So, we go in, and I'm
looking at a tee shirt with his face on it, and I go to Rick,
"OH........now I know who he is!" And guess who is directly behind me?
Yep, Aaron Tippin himself!! Real friendly sort, asked us where we were
staying, how the fishing was, etc. Signed stuff for us. He was there in
his store and just before that there were many, many country stars
there signing stuff to send to the troops in Afghanistan.
