I wish I could get back to cardio, bad arthritis in right great toe
prevents me from walking, jogging or running, can't even get on a
treadmill. This is after the toe was fixed.
Cut the toe off- problem solved.
I believe the large toe is important for balance......................
on the other hand Blurt doesn't seem like a very balance individual at
the best of times.
"A very balance individual?" What happened to the "d?"
No one wants to discuss your high school grades.
Now that was a real knee slapper. ;)
Wasn't it though. Did you know Harry graduated first in his class At Don
Rickles Junior College?- Hide quoted text -

Give 'im a break, it was the first clever insult he has thrown in

Quite frankly, I probably am. Years ago when I was here (remember the
backyard renegade;) I remembered him as being more clever and even
funny.. Maybe my tastes have changed...;)


A few years ago, there were more interesting people here. Now that the
level has been lowered by Reggie and the drones, and most of the
interesting posters have left in disgust over their antics, posting
"clever" here is not worth the second of effort it takes. There are
boating-related and other discussion groups I visit from time to time
for actual discussion. Sadly, rec.boats has become little more than a
hangout for the landsnarks and bottom-feeders like Reggie.

There are few "Reggies" at these discussion groups. Anyone who behaves
as he does simply loses his or her posting access or even the ability to
look and read.

Nothing derogatory there!

If not...........buh-bye!

*Anxiously* waiting your response. ;-)

1) Half of a 90' crabber in Kodiak, 2) all of a 30' tupperware sailboat in
Norfolk, 3) 30' steel cruiser on Lake Huron, 4) 44' Deadrise on Chesapeake
Bay.

Also, licensed commercial crew member by Alaska Dept. of Fish & Game.

Preferences: North Pacific/Gulf of Alaska/Aleutians, and avoidance of
dickeydoos/weekend warriors anchored in shipping channels wondering where
all the traffic is coming from. It IS fun to watch 'em launch, though.

If you want to watch some real fun stuff, just drift outside Annapolis
on a really hot summer day, but keep that engine idling. Ten minutes
won't go by without a heat-addled sailboater coming close to running
over you, no matter what size boat you are in. That idling engine? You
may need to make a fast getaway.

It's more fun watching a 210' Coast Guard Cutter at 15 knots heading through
a channel, 5 quick blasts on the whistle, and seeing a mad competition for
30 tupperware fishing boats trying to get their outboards running. Wish I
had a video of that. Natural selection in action.

Re Annapolis - or any other crowded area - stay of the water on weekends.
