Title: Not that I'm cabbing...
Post by: skip1930 on July 21, 2011, 09:52:09 PM
but I see I have yet another TSK, TSK!!
How cool is that? Getting so a guy can't render an opinion without ruffing up some feathers.
Two to the bad, five to the good. My advice don't listen to me.

"You have the right to free speech, but not the right to be heard."                                

Winston Churchill, The Cairo Conference, March 1921

'Churchill's Folly; How Winston Churchill Created Modern Iraq.'  

By Christoper Catherwood.

IMHO, A good read for a lazy day in the cockpit.  skip.

   Consider it an honor that you ruffle some feathers. If you were completely neutral, how boring would that be! Oh, I did not give you any tsk. I've not given anyone any tsk over the years except once by accident...I felt really bad...had to pm the guy and apologoze...I don't even remember who it was!
   Remember back in the day when we had a bit more freedom to express political opinions? Things did tend to get a bit more heated back then...I'm glad we don't do that anymore. I don't hang around any other sites where that takes place. Life is too short to spend it on trivial matters. I'd rather be sailing which is where I'll be if this dang heat ever ends.  At 5:34 Eastern time it is 100.3 degrees right now...a bit too hot even to sail!

"Life is too short to spend it on trivial matters." Going Broke is not a trivial matter.
It's just not a matter for us sailors...too hot to sail? Yep. I'm burned up from 8 hours a day on my 21 foot flail tractor
cutting out in 'Indian territory' in the back 40 of the aeroport.

Ratios are everything...what is the ratio between what comes in and what goes out?
Never mind.

Interestingly every [D] who was in office when Bush was in office voted not to raise the debt limit then.
Now every [D] who is still in office then is now with the new guy and voting to raise the debit limit. What changed?
Never mind.

Title: Saw but not seen.

I recently went to Maryville, TN from my home in Loudon.  On the way I saw a 16 Compac Yacht in a storage facility.  Coming home I saw another 16 Compac Yacht in Vonore, TN just 12 - 14 miles apart, not to mention, all three within twenty five miles of each other!  I've not seen either on the waters anywhere since so needless to say I am hoping from a reply from either owner. If you are one of these two reading this , please reply!!!!
Sincerely,
Dale Weidinger

Dale,
My sister and brother-in-law live in Maryville and operate a marina near there.  Contact her and see if see can birddog those two 16s.  Her name is Jeanine, tell her that her big brother sent you.

Hiya Skip,

Wouldn't worry so much about it.  I gave you a Karma a few weeks (months?) back for helping me out with the roller furler questions. Could have easily pressed tsk tsk by mistake??

Liked the Churchhill statement.  We're sailing... the boat does most of the work, soooo... not to cabbing!
