Just said no! Ct. DEP, OK with me...
So I got out to the lake late yesterday. Sitting in the parking lot I
was getting my stuff ready and watching another guy getting his inspection from the DEP. As I was driving by I waved. The Officer asked me if I wanted an inspection, I told him it was late, if there was anything in particular he wanted to look at OK, but I would rather get out to the water. He was nice and said he would check me next time. Personally I support the Ct. DEP. In a nutshell. When I was young I lived near a nice river, but it was so polluted the water often ran red and other weird colors, there were mills upstream. Now it is a trout stream. You could not even swim in the Ct. River, now you can even eat some of the fish. You could not fish Stripers, Salmon are returning, and there are plenty of Trout and other fish for everyone, maybe more than when I was young and of course the pressure on the fish is huge compared to back then. Last season I had a guy pull me over on Crystal Lake in Stafford. He was doing a survey about Trout fishing, they wanted to know how fishermen felt about closing the Trout season during the hot months to take some of the pressure off of the population. I felt that if that's what they had to do, they had a good track record with me. Anyway, it was the first time I ever said no. It felt kind of funny but I find with the big wooden skiff, no one pays much attention to me anyway. Oh, I still get pulled over and met at the dock, but they just want to look at the boat and that's cool. |

I haven't sold her yet. The guy I had lined up was turned down by his bank and his credit union, so we returned his deposit. I do have two "potentials" I've talked to once or twice. Had another guy who was just a "tire-kicker." |

When you sell this boat, do you plan on being boatless for the rest of the season? |

The cops need a warrant to search your home. I wonder if the CG has its own special set of rules. |

The answer to this is REALLY basic. If you don't know, you should not be operating a boat. That's such a silly thing to say. Really. It is. |

When they arrest you for hesitating, questioning them, or resisting in any small way, you'll think otherwise. These days, they usually have little patience for nitwits. That makes you a marked man, apparently. You don't need to sit through hours of courses to learn one rule. As far as your sudden burst of name calling, you should explore your problem further. Although I doubt you do it with people standing in front of you, you may slip one day. |

Nothing like a blinding flash of the obvious. I asked about the rule, so obviously I did not know it. You with me so far? As far as safety, I've was handling a 47 foot boat quite nicely when I was 16 years old. Took all the courses, etc etc. My current boat was boarded a couple of years ago, and I was given a ticket for not having a piece of equipment NOT required by the CG. I ended up helping some young guy learn the rules, with the help of his CO. |

My advice that you seriously need to take a safety course stands, and your "know-it all" responses only re-inforce that opinion. Why do I need to convince YOU? Within 1/2 a degree Fahrenheit, what is the temperature of the water in your water heater RIGHT NOW? Not last time you checked it, but RIGHT NOW. |

... OK, now what was your frekin' point!? To get out of the box into which he'd been driven by changing the subject. Where've you been? That's his MO. -- John H No, John. This is the reality of the situation: Some people can survive in a discussion involving multiple ideas simultaneously. Some people can see connections between apparently unrelated concepts. If you ever had these skills to start with, you've lost them. But, practice helps. I know two people who are pushing 90 years old, but their mental acuity makes you seem like a frog that's been pithed prior to dissection. |
