The thing the struck me most about the Parkers at the last 2 boat shows,
is the ugly color. Looks like an old yellowed gel coat. The 30-40 year
old look is actually OK with me, but the color is a killer.

At one time the "off white", sorta beige or dull yellow color was desirable
and many boats, including Hatteras were done with it. It reduces the sun
glare. At some point the industry decided that bright white was prettier,
and the yellow died out.

You guys make a good point and one I never thought of.

Although, thinking back, I don't think I've ever owned a non-white
boat - except for the Princecraft and a Lund.

The first boat I had .... an '82 Century was yellow-ish. I must have grown
22 inch biceps trying to compound and wax it to look white. Even the Scout
I had (a 2003 model) was not bright white. It was a very off-white. The
Navigator is not bright white. The Egg Harbor definitely *was* and on a
sunny, bright day you knew it, even with sunglasses.

The boat I have now is pretty close to perfect for fishing the entire

Your low life Pahkuh would be lucky to last 10 minutes on a rough day
in the ocean or on the Chesapeake.
Well, Whine, according to reports, that's nine minutes and forty five
seconds longer than *your* average woody.

Who the hell is reporting to you on such things... Why are you paying
attention.. you are weird...

That really ranked high or the YUCK factor. Fraud would have a field
day with Harry.

Harry is Fraud

You just figured that out?

Think it through, Bertie. I've not seen your house, and have no idea
what it is like on the inside, nor do I know or care about the assessed
value of your house, as if that meant anything. What I do know, though,
is that Gaithersburg is far too "suburban" and crowded for my taste.

But you do know what my house looks like on the outside don't you, your
words betray you again.

You seem to enjoy playing this silly game of yours. Are you compensating
for being a high school dropout?

Keep telling yourself that maybe some day it will be true.

Me thinks Wayne wonders-- Why not throw the cast nets from shore? Much

That too, not to mention having a couple of other boats more suitable
for bait catching than a long range cruiser.

This winter seems to be particularly difficult for Harry.

Has anyone else wondered why we no longer hear anything about Mrs K ?

It does make you wonder why Harry has so much time on his hands for fishing.

For the same reason we don't hear any more stories about his lobster boat.


Ouch! That's gonna leave a mark.

No, dung for brains, I sorta know what the roof of your house looks
like, from space. What I do know is that your subdivision was plotted
out by someone without any imagination, because all the setbacks are
about the same. Small lots, too. But that's what I would expect in a
congested, overpopulated area.

I rarely drive into Montgomery County. Once a year these past few years,
for the Greek festival at St. George in Bethesda. Absolutely the best
homemade Greek food. You wouldn't like it.

Why have you been looking at my subdivision via satellite maps? Seems
kind of strange that you would spend so much time investigating me? I
think you have a thing for me.

Neighborhood is filled with kids too. Once big benefit of living in a
subdivision with 1/4 acre lots is all of the kids close by. I am
surprised that you haven't got a clue about this.

But, you do drive by my house at least once a year.

You are pathetic.

Gaithersburg is nowhere near St. George Church. Sorry, dumbo, but the
closest I have been to your 1/4 acre lot is the view from Google maps,
and it has been a long, long time. In fact, I only remember the
Gaithersburg part.

Are you anywhere near Clopper Road? I was a partner in some apartments
out there a few decades ago, but I sold my share off to my partners when
we moved to Florida.
