If the assholes who are ruining rec.boats don't leave, I will stop posting or responding to post in rec.boats. I know I said that after my vacation, but this time I mean it. |

| Good ol' ICOM
I've got an ICOM IC-M71 portable VHF that lives in my offshore fishing bag, which I haven't even peeked into for maybe eight months. Maybe longer. (I have a much smaller fishing bag for Bay use here). Anyway, I was poking around in the garage, looked in the bag, pulled out the radio. Damned if the rechargeable battery was still showing two out of three bars. Took the radio down to the marina, where I was dropping off something, and picked up a conversation out the Bay. No biggie, except I was surprised the battery wasn't flatlined. The rechargeable in my portable GARMIN gps, which lives in the same bag...not so good... :>) [More...] |

| Just stopped by...
To see that nothing has changed much. Hopefully some warmer weather is on it's way and the few boaters here can actually... boat. I'm sitting on the 58th floor of the Wynn Hotel out in Vegas enjoying the view. Nice hotel, but the food prices are crazy. Expense accounts are your friend! Going to see a Cirque du Soleil show tonight. Saw "Ka" a couple of years ago, it's worth going to if you're ever out this way. You folks have a good one, I'm looking forward to finishing up out here and getting back home. It looks like the warm weather has turned the corner for us and I'll be getting out on the lake more often. Summer here we come! [More...] |

| Wood construction, was dog boats
Our living room kitchen and dining room is dominated by red oak. The cypress is starting in the new room we built. I did get a great deal on a bunch of it ($75 for 450 lf of 1x6) so it is my new favorite wood ;-) |

| Government Health Care Fraud
The reason Obama and democrats want health care is to skim it. Get the income flow to the government then dumb down services. For the idiot sheeples that follow big mouth Obama remember, Canadians too have to pay big time. Williams, a premier with means uses the US for surgery as his own province and country is clearly inferior. Then this... the truth... Government health care sucks! And try to find a basic family physician where I live, freaking near impossible. For Obama and democrats, it is about the revenue stream. They want the health care money in government pockets, then dumb down the services and government profits. A sneaky way to make you more dependant on government and tax you more. Don't let Obama's watered down BS fool you, make sure November 2010 counts and get rid of corrupt congressional idiots and the corrupted senators. The money is better in your pocket spent on a boat employing people and not government statism and marxism. ---- |
