We got a stallion at the barn, men are not allowed to deal with, he
just doesn't like men. I have moved the horse a couple of times, today
was one. I got him to the stall and started taking off the halter and
he reared back (not toward me) so I stood in, told him to calm down,
stepped into him and continued to undress him. Trust me I was scared
****less the whole time, but he reacted to my actions, not my
emotion... I try not to think about it until after.. then only to see
if I could have done something better. At the same time, I find that I
like the adreaneline shock too;)

Maybe so but building boats sounds like more fun to me.

Reggie likes to "dish it out," but he sure can't take it, eh?

That sounds familiar.

What well known boater first said that?


It had the sound of a RV'er, not a really a boater. grin

I suppose if you are an inexperienced boater you'd think the motor well
design adds something.

The low transom / open transom was never popular on the West Coast. To many
large seas probably.

If Harry were on the west coast he'd have a proper boat also. On the
Patuxent River, or a calm day on the Chesapeake, it doesn't really
matter that much. And of course, lest we forget, he's very
experienced.

If you haven't been scared on occasion while boating in the ocean then
you either haven't been boating in the ocean, or your actual time
boating in the ocean has been minimal. The only experienced seaman who
haven't been frightened on occasion by the ocean either are really
stupid or dead.
I don't think I have ever felt like I am going to crap in my pants for
any reason, on the sea or on land.

Then you must have never had a colonoscopy! :-)

I actually have, but I just took a little nap.

It is the lead up to the scoping that makes you wonder if you are going to
C.Y.P. I have boated most of my life on the ocean and the only real scary
boat trip weather wise was in my 14' boat across Franks Tract in the
Sacramento Delta. People have died in similar weather out there, and after
I was 1/2 way across, I had a real pucker factor. Problem was I was 1/2 way
either way. A few times in the ocean I would have preferred death I think.
When I was about 15 my brother and I were out on a 43' dry stack diesel
boat. 11 people, 9 smoking cigars and the diesel exhaust blowing down on us
and about 12' swells. No breeze, so just big swells and no wind waves.
Sick? SICK! And in those days I normally did not get seasick.

Just when you think you've heard it all....

Sometimes it's fun to almost **** your pants.
db~I may spend some quality time pondering this today. I guess it *depends*

Where's my new fishing rod?

I left it in your boat.

You might think that he won't be able to tell it isn't there till next
spring, but in reality all he has to do it peak in through that big hole
in the transom, and then AHHH HAA,you lied. You need to do better than
that. ;)

Unless...

IT SLID OUT OF THE BOAT THROUGH THE TRANSOM!

What does your Oxford English Dictionary have to say about the
definition of "snark" ?

There is a risk that by over using certain words, they will lose their
impact.


It says, "c.f., Wayne B. or Reggie the A**hole."

Whew! I was worried there for a minute.

ok but what the hell does CF mean?

Take your pick:



Main Entry:
CF
Function:
abbreviation

1 carried forward 2 centrifugal force 3 cost and freight 4 cystic fibrosis

5 cute face 6 cuddly and facile

Come on up to the barn, I'll hand you a rope with a 1600 pound
firecracker on the other end. If you don't get all tingley inside, you
won't have to worry cause it would only mean you were already dead;)

I have to ask, what is a 1600 lb firecracker? If you mean a horse, I
love horses, but I do approach an unknown horse with caution, just so he
can get used to me.

n the ocean, I have been in gale
force winds, have felt very queasy, and have even been sea sick, but
no,
I have never felt like I am going to crap in my pants. If you think
everyone reacts to stressful situations by being frightened or feeling
like they are going to crap in their pants, you are incorrect.

However, I have come to a conclusion about these animals. Everyone
says that they can sense fear and if you are afraid, you are screwed.
I disagree even while scared half to death, if you keep your head and
stick to your training the horse will react to that more strongly...
and you can win the war. But you got to stand in there, you gotta'
play hurt or your finished...

Animals can smell fear, and react accordingly. So while you might be
apprehensive, I don't think you are putting out the same pheromones one
puts out when you are actually afraid.


Everyone is impressed with the bravery "Reggie" exhibits here. So brave,
he won't even tell us what brand, model, and year of boat he allegedly
drives. Now that's bravery.

Harry, you're confusing 'bravery' with 'stupidity'. You want, way too
much,
to know private, personal information about Reggie. Your motives can be
naught but nefarious.



Is that why you post a picture here of the TV you purchased for your wife as
a Christmas gift?

Are you buying her a couch next Christmas?


Is *what* why? Your response to my question to Harry made no sense
whatsoever, to me. But, I'm pretty slow, so maybe you could help me out
here, please?

My model Parker is available with a "splash board" that would repel
backwash and keep it out of the cockpit. I know of one guy who ordered it
with his boat, on the 21' pilothouse model. He removed it. They're just
not necessary, except, maybe to guys who imagine they boat on Lake LAnier
with imaginary boats.
You have got to be kidding. An otherwise reputable boat manufacturer like
Parker offers a "splash board"?
Why don't they just build it right to begin with?

Splash boards are an apology for poor engineering and design.

You can now crawl back up Harry's ass.
