Don, how old is #2 son? I must just be a mean old guy 'cause I think
I'd
have told him he could take it after he unloaded the gravel and washed
the
dust off. Then *I'd* have gone in the house and had a glass of iced
tea.
That's because you have the benefit of a spine. Looks like #2 son sees
Don as a milquetoast and takes him about as seriously as the rest of us.
No surprise there.

Don't you have a whole life policy you can con someone into purchasing.
Must be your turn to harass the 'cold contacts'.

Russ is trying to become Skipper.

He would be a pathetic shadow of Skipper. The only thing in common would be
the nasty attitude. although Skipper was only nasty on occasion...not in
every visit.




True enough. Also, and I hesitate to say this...on occasion Skipper
could turn a nice phrase.

You are doing it all wrong.

You hand him the shovel and tell him to get started - you'll be right
back. Then you reappear after it's all shoveled out and the dust has
been sprayed out. :)

Freakin' Canadians - always doing things backwards.

He's actually thinking of joining the reserves. It'll be interesting to see
what a little military training will do

Best of luck to him.

Now that I think of it, now that Canada has all one military, how does
one join, say, the Navy as opposed to the Army?

That 'unification' thing isn't quite as bad as when it first came in and
army/navy/airforce personel all looked like coca cola drivers.

My son passed the initial screening and they gave him two phone numbers to
call...his choice.army or navy.
He has a cousin who's a recruiter and she thinks he should be a candidate
for officer school since he already has a university degree.
We'll see if he likes the bootcamp experience since he sure doesn't like me
telling him what to do.

Cool.

He should do it. One of the biggest mistakes I made when I was in was
not to take the OCS school offer and mustang my way up.

telling him what to do.

Heh. Understood.

If he's able to get into your officer school, I'd sure encourage him to go
for it. Being an officer is a much nicer existence than being enlisted, and
the money is a little better.

He'll probably have to put up with a lot of **** in officer school though!

I'd buy you a car if you'd go drive it off a short pier.



The truth hurts, huh?

Back on track for a moment.

now it looks like I need to shop for a Bimini top. An all day outing
baking in the hot sun isn't an idea of family fun.....

Yes, thered is, John. But the Marina[s] around the lake don't have the
best security policies. Basicly you park it "over there" tarp it and
there it sits, with no security fence or any type of guardianship.
But you do get to rent the space off them! ?

Besides, the boat does have a really good cover, but leaving it
outside even under tarp just seems to invite mould, and moisture
doesn't do the bright or woodwork any favors. Granted this isn't a new
boat, but I'd like to keep it , especially the floor, from
deteriorating from leaving it sit damp and in an oven like codition.
That's why I trailer it back and stuff it in my warehouse.

Even with wear and tear on the old wagon, I figure it's better for the
boat in the long run.

I could be wrong though.
