Waves now at 15.4 feet and building till midnight when the center of the
storm should pass.
I was outside and saw a number of flashes so I'd better power down the
computer and ride out the storm.
Had to rush out to 'The Binnacle' this afternoon to get a manual bilge pump
as a backup for my basement sump pump. I had let my two pumps go with the
Sandpiper 565 when I sold it in August.
Tom might be pleased to know that the pump was manufactured in Bridgeport CT

Isn't that interesting. Last time I was in Bridgeport, I drove through
it quickly. I knew quite a few kids from Bridgeport when I was in junior
and senior high.

Owned a house in which I had a battery operated backup sump pump. If the
electric kicked off, two 12V car batteries ran the pump. It proved its
worth at least a half dozen times while we lived in that house.

Not me; I just want a giggle.

Harry, why would you want to giggle at the misfortune of someone having a
high repair bill? That makes little sense.


Just a bit of humor at the follies of owning too large of a HT boat.

Yet another example of this deranged moron's lack of ownership of a
"lobster boat".

My hunch is that if being on the water is your thing, you are
getting a bigger bang for the buck with the big boats.

A return on cost analysis for a toy? I think not.



"return" need not be necessarily financial.

I just can't picture Wayne and his wife making yearly trips from
Florida to the northeast in a 20' Parker.

I wouldn't want to do that, either. I'd get on a plane at Logan, find my
first-class seat, and watch a movie while spending three hours in a
comfy chair.

In fact, that's what I do when we go to Florida from here, except that
it takes less than three hours. And a few minutes after that, we're he

How's the tranny holding up on the 36' Zimmerman like Lobsta' boat Harry?

that would make more sense... who wants to be down in the basement pumping
away for hours in the middle of the night.

BTW.. so far so good.. We may have had a blink or two but the power stayed
on.

As far as the waves at the harbour mouth... still over 26 feet high as we
speak.. but the max was at 0500 hrs this morning with a height of 33.8
feet.
I may run down to Lawrencetown Beach this morning and watch the surfers take
advantage of the conditions.

Take some photos. I haven't seen 26' waves since Skipper, Dan, and Bert
Robbins swirled around the toilet bowl on their way to the septic tank.

They must recycle sewage effluent south of the border. Dan's still here (or
at least his evil twin Freddie) and now Burpie is back... or is that Bertie?
If Skipper shows up we may have to invite some 'ole time religion' to
counteract all the negativity.

What is the folly? To someone with a 14' jon boat, your Parker is too
large. Would they be right in laughing at a huge repair bill you may have?

There's something strange about your attitude.
