its funny but in almost every fun endeavor there is a divide. skiers -snowboarders, long board -short board, power boat-sailboat, and without using derogatory terms in motorcycles....agility-comfort. since i quit when i was 23 it was ALL about speed and agility. BTW......bruce....very nice!! who mak...

how about this one....my daily transport in college. built in a dirt floor garage in pittsburgh. yetman 15LB pound frame, honda 305 bored to 350. very fast for a super hawk...14 second 1/4 s at 94MPH. once won it all by default. the nitro harley red lighted!! http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n186/...

john...bought brand new in 1969 for $999 out of the box. i put 20K on the next winter riding around california. my favorite thing in life was merging on the freeway entrance ramp and having a hot car approaching in the right lane. you knew he was going to try and stop you from getting on ahead of hi...

i have an 8 foot long, 1/4 inch wall, square inch and a quarter hollow bar. so far it has never failed except when it snaps the bolt head off. heat... PT blaster...heat ...and torque. and care...you have to sneak up on it.

randall

very very sorry to hear that. there really are no words.

randall

i support wounded warrior but disabled American vets (DAV) actually spends a higher percentage on helping them and less on salaries and promotion.

BTW...my mom was a uso singer.

randall

bob...because of wounded warrior and soldier ride i have met scores of vets missing arms and legs. two things that have impressed me are the amazing advances in artificial limbs and the attitude of these people. its hard to put into words how proud they make you to be an American. to quote one fello...

randall

the point and turtle cove were way overhead with a very brisk off shore wind today. any ocean facing inlet would not have been fun.

randall

bottom line.......we owe them everything we have.

randall

very cool.

guy has a nice collection of spring clamps.

randall

joe's got bigger problems than nap time.

congrats on the win!!.....personally....i like defense (ex pitcher mentality)

randall

looks like a ton of fun and satisfying too. let us know when she launches....we can break a mini bottle on the bow.

randall

that is cool......usually i can visualize how things work....this time time....not so much.

randall

facebook has been fun for me as i get to see a lot of surf photos and work by artists i like. no spam that i can remember.

randall

um...why not just make the boat 3 feet longer and install an outdrive? absurd.

randall

outstanding!!

randall

a few years ago the same great white was caught twice in the pound traps in gardiner's bay......if its connected to the ocean there is always the chance.

randall

surfing alone in pinas bay, panama i have to admit that after an hour it was merely the idea of bull sharks that drove me from the water. hank said he caught a huge one from the tropic star dock when he was a kid. very aggressive.

randall

when it comes to engineering no one can top the french. i inherited a peugeot 504. to be honest it drove really nice but....to check the oil you had to remove an oil soaked screen and ...there were NO center holes in the wheels. changing tires was interesting....no tire machine need apply. it died i...

randall

well....at the other end of the spectrum we run honda civics. they are great but my one complaint is they put the oil filter where 95% of owners cant change them themselves. luckily i'm in the other 5% and dont have to pay someone else to change my oil. new tail light cover for the tacoma.....$267. ...

randall

UV...i dont have a clue.

seems way over complicated for an air cleaner....what happened to the single wing nut hand tightened?

i read somewhere that new MBs have 87 servo motors!!

bet someone here will know.

randall

cool. nice shot of the point and north bar in the background.

randall

i broke the windshield on the 25 in half and repaired it with some plexi glue i got on line. lasted years no problem.

randall

thanks for the link patrick.....i have all these acrylic boxes that need resto.

i use em as display cases for art fairs. people for some reason think a sign that says "do not touch" means everyone in the world but them!

randall

ken's balls?......i dont think so.

but i get the idea.

randall

hey bob...happy birthday!!

randall

lake atlantic and july hot. not too many days like that in october. there was a small boat fishing off the jetties in east hampton....you dont see that too often.

randall

lotta buzz around about the fishing in montauk!!

randall

and a super nice guy and great shaper. he shaped one of my all time favorite boards (signed personally to me!) the guys a classic in every way.

i used my crash valves to run fresh water through the system about once a week. they were extremely easy to use cause i threaded the intake and could just plug in the pipe from the bucket. anything in the bucket went into the system.....a running hose would just keep up.

randall

my boat had 4 pumps and no external float switches but they all had a manual position and you could test em anytime. i also noticed they would suck water in at much lower shallower height in manual than auto.

randall

rad shots from the copter.......that must have been fun. it switched to a second boat right at the end.

randall

nancy's eight and a half months pregnant. saw her at a friends opening thursday night. carl....i have 2 shows in the city this year...i'll keep you posted. plus i have a piece in a show in jersey city if you find yourself there. whew....gettin home from there yesterday wasn't fun. walter...when my f...

randall

thanks harry....a very good friends son did it. totally off the cuff... no prep at all...they showed up one day and we just went back to the shop and did it.

i think plum is on the verge of bankruptcy.

ian......hats off to you....everyone should do that.

the story about how this brave young man enlisted is pretty funny. smart recruiter.

randall

he's bummed its not the record....12lbs short....so he's gonna keep trying. look at the spear....pretty bent. these guys will just casually swim out into the ocean and come back with huge stripers. there was a picture on the cover of the local paper a few weeks ago of this guy holding onto a 50 foot...

randall

these kids (actually they are in their late 20's) are real watermen. they dive, fish, sail and surf large waves.

randall

generally they free dive.......338lbs.

randall

remember the shot i posted of the small outboard caught well inside on a big day? well this is his brother. he played first base on my sons little league team.

randall

nicely put. amen to that.

randall

what a shocker!!.....another very well thought out, well engineered and cosmetically beautiful boat that anyone would be proud to own. anyone with good taste and the knowledge of what a "good" boat is.

randall

i might get one too....water shots mounted on the board.

randall

dan...after one of the hurricanes i had to run a few miles along the trashline to get out of the block island sound. you could build a town with what was out there.

randall

walter....try running over to fishers island. there will be a "weed line" of trees and construction debris that will be impenetrable.

randall

i couldn't be happier for you.....she'll always be one of my favorite boats!!

randall

giff the way i hear it its such a well defined reef pass with such a well defined channel it breaks in exactly the same place every time. i have a friend that surfed it. he got annihilated.

randall

UV...its all good.....when you have a good time everyone here smiles.

randall

check this out.....much more coverage of that day. while it was extremely tame by comparison we did enjoy some flawless clean overhead waves from irene. i am completely surfed out.......a great feeling when you are two months shy of 64. http://www.surfline.com/surf-news/full-coverage-of-billabong-pr...
