Don't mess with the Big P - it still offs people regularly. Regards you wife and sleep apnea: I'm still struggling getting used to my new CPAP unit but can say that it is a big help.

Gunner,
Couple of questions: 1. What is COPD? 2. I have had sleep apnea for years now (succesfully treated). How exactly does the dmv know that your wife has apnea? wrace |

Gunner,
Sorry to hear about the boat. Too bad, though, you wasted Kink's time by posting it here. Anyway, old stick, take better care of yourself and stop that walking around with pneumonia! Hey! Your wife needs you now, more than ever - so take it easy, errr, "easier" on yourself. We'd hate to see your humorous and insightful posts ever disappear from RCM.

Bear in mind however that its a 78..and suffered the usual forehull delam problem. I cut in ports on the top of the hulls, rolled the thing over and relaminated fresh glass and matting upside down on the inside of the forehulls. Stiffened the hulls pretty well, but Im not sure that after all these years, you sheet the main in hard it would break the forehulls off at the dolphin striker. It would have to be sailed tenderly for a while to get a feel for it. Or turn it upside down and give it another layer or two. Id be happy to sell it, but frankly..you can buy later models dirt cheap these days. Ill shoot some pics if you are still interested, or help you find a better boat. Gunner Thanks Bart D.

So after discussing the issue with the local deputy, we both came to the conclusion there would be no point in pressing charges. Harvey is the smart one of the family and the breadwinner. And while he is fairly retarded..he does work hard at taking care of his family.... So I promised Harvey that Id put a padlock and a chain on the trailer, and I thanked him for his looking out for my boat, gave him $10 for his trouble...and dragged it, both flat tires, the 2 blocks back to the house. The gal that told me where it was gets a 6 pack of Bud for her troubles. She switched from MD wine to Bud....because there is more calories in the beer...and its her only meal of the day..... Interesting living on the wrong side of the tracks..... Gunner So after discussing the issue with the local deputy, we both came to the conclusion there would be no point in pressing charges. Good. That sounds appropriate for the situation. I just got done watching a segment on our local "Northwest Afternoon" where a woman had grown up (as a child) homeless. She described having to steal her school clothes and what it was like living in a car, sleeping in a box. Some folks don't have it near as good as others. We need to recognize that and show some tolerance. MikeR Amazing stuff. I went to two different high schools just for fun ! LOL Mon. to A , Tue. to B , Wed. to A , ect. The next week I'd switch them ! Some times I wouldn't go at all. If it had crossed my mind back then I would have tried to get two diplomas , that would be hard to explain now wouldn't it ! Drag them puppies through the mud and they will see from a different perspective. Its the yuppy privileged pricks that should know better that **** me off. I'm wondering if Gunner would mind if I watch over a cool vertical mill for him , for a couple of years. "[L]iberals are afraid to state what they truly believe in, for to do so would result in even less votes than they currently receive. Their methodology is to lie about their real agenda in the hopes of regaining power, at which point they will do whatever they damn well please. The problem is they have concealed and obfuscated for so long that, as a group, they themselves are no longer sure of their goals. They are a collection of wild-eyed splinter groups, all holding a grab-bag of dreams and wishes. Some want a Socialist, secular-humanist state, others the repeal of the Second Amendment. Some want same sex/different species marriage, others want voting rights for trees, fish, coal and bugs. Some want cradle to grave care and complete subservience to the government nanny state, others want a culture that walks in lockstep and speaks only with intonations of political correctness. I view the American liberals in much the same way I view the competing factions of Islamic fundamentalists. The latter hate each other to the core, and only join forces to attack the US or Israel. The former hate themselves to the core, and only join forces to attack George Bush and conservatives." --Ron Marr |

A 55 gal. drum for a friend is ok , but when favors are that heavy they seem to stay. I really need to blindly visit again and venture into Hell A to see how much trouble I could really get into.

A friend of mine, now living in California, was being visited by her Father, a gentleman with an antipathy towards lawyers and Bankers going back to the loss of the family ranch when he was a child. Anyway, he chose the day that some banker decided to shoot up some lawyers at 101 California Street. Traffic through the city was snarled as it was diverted in directions it doesn't normally flow by the incident. As the news came on the car radio, he developed an enormous grin and intoned something along the lines of "Bankers shooting lawyers? I guess California isn't all bad." -- pyotr filipivich. as an explaination for the decline in the US's tech edge, James Niccol wrote "It used to be that the USA was pretty good at producing stuff teenaged boys could lose a finger or two playing with." |

Some folks don't have it near as good as others. We need to recognize that and show some tolerance. MikeR The most pitiful ones are the ones who now have something, and who have completely forgotten where they came from. And treat those people badly. Steve |
