called a Palm Beach shearline, or something similar.

Up forward, I have more freeboard, and in the stern I also have more
freeboard. I'll have to measure it with a tape, but my Parker dealer
also sells Gradys, and I looked at a couple of them before making my
choice.

Harry Krause,
I meant to ask you, if the Parker is as close to perfect as a boat can
be, why would anyone want to bring along aluminum folding chairs?

The aluminum chairs work together with the aluminum hats to keep the
governments GPS signals from take control of you. Everybody knows that
GPS satellites have dual purposes.

You know, I've often wondered about those "noises" I hear every once
in a while - you know - high speed data streams?

Do you really think the aluminum hat would help? How about I if I
used a stainless steel mixing bowl?

At some point you have to ask yourself, Tom, why you are cavorting with
two of the reigning assholes of rec.boats, Reggie Retardo and BARred
from Dating Women.

First of all, I like them - they are interesting. Secondly, BAR is a
former Marine and as such, a brother-in-arms. Third, and probably
something you wouldn't understand, I generally enjoy conversing with
everybody here.

I honestly don't care how they get along with anybody else. I like to
think of myself as the universal conversationalist. :)

Now wait just a minute here, we already have a universal
confrontationalist.

Did you mean contortionist?

I think that means he can do it with either hand.

I can eat pizza with both hands.

Which reminds me - I had the best damn thin crust pizza EVER tonight.

Nice light homemade tomato sauce - five blend cheese topping with
Vadalia onions and mushrooms.

mmmmmmmmushrooms....

I soaked the blue meat from the bluefish in some orange juice for a
couple of hours. Cut it into popper size chunks and dipped it in a
little egg, spices, and some Sylvias fish batter and fried them in a
little oil. We were all pleasantly surprised. Even me, who generally
does not like bluefish, I could not stop eating them, little
feeeeessshie poppers. The spices were basil, thyme, cayanne pepper,
salt and black pepper.

Hey Tom, high tide around noon on thursday?

You got down to Ledo's, huh? College Park, MD, isn't too far for you to
drive for decent pizza. I saw no mention of anchovies, so it was a sorely
lacking pizza.

That is your problem, the stainless steel mixing bowl, you need to be
using an aluminum colander with the curved feet on the bottom.
