There are several in the V.I. St. John and Tortola for sure. Not sure any are for sale but worth the search.

Mikey

Yea, but did you catch anything?
The wait for the biopsy is worse than the surgery. Been there, done that.
Praying for you my fren'

Mikey

Nada, Boss.

Mikey

Hell, Patrick, it's just fiberglass! Just like your computer, a little cut and paste and you're home free.
Sorta

Mikey

U always da man, thanks Pat!

Mikey

I used Cabrera's supports, very easy. Once the old stuff is out lay the new ones in, they install as a jigsaw puzzle, interlocking with each other. Once in place, level, check for fit with new decks (i used his decks) and when satisfied, tab in place. Screw decks to supports. If you need to remove t...

Mikey

Charlie,
Thanks, it is always the gentle nudge in the heart and wallet.

Mikey

We shared the same birthday. Always emailed greetings. Thought of him with a smile.
Damn, no more, "first you make a roux."

Mikey

Pat, Thanks. If I had read completely everything I won't have had to ask.
Ah, dyslexia.

Mikey

So, how do I change my password?

Mikey

OOPS! That was $3.80 not $4.39. Whew! A little better, huh?

Mikey

$4.39 here, but considering the price a few months ago . . .

Mikey

Jen, Whatever you, Brent, and Ms Elaine are willing to share we would love to have for the book. Not just recipes but anecdotes, stories, lies, exaggerations, we don't care as long as they wee a part of Uncle Vic. My Daddy always said, "never let the facts interfere with a good story." It always wor...

Mikey

Andre, Ricky
Hadn't thought of UV quotes when I started collecting recipes for a book. O.K. gang, what else did he say? There has to be more than these three.

Mikey

I connected each bilge pump to a different battery, just to be safe. When you install the Cummins will you be able to access the bottom of the fuel filters to drain the smutch and water? Looks kind of tight.

Mikey

Mark, Know that was tough, it was tough to read, but that was Vic. If we do the book this goes in. This was a part of Vic that made him special. He faced life head on, even when it sucked. He tried to take the sting out for us all. This makes him human, this make him real. This is what we loved abou...

Mikey

Thanks, Pat.

Mikey

Mac,
Thanks for the info. I'll wait at this point for them. If I don't hear by Monday when I return I'll try the direct approach.

Tom, Louis,
That's the stuff. Love the comments included. This will give it that personal touch. Walt knows what I mean.

Mikey

Mean Mike, Great start! Recognized some. Will check my pile when I get back Monday. Going to do a film in Richmond this weekend. Do you suppose that Miss Elaine, Brent, or Jen prowl our sandbox? Would love to ask for their participation but don't want to bother them if it is too soon. Andre, anyone ...

Mikey

Walt, I am aware. Like you I have spent my life in marketing and one of my good friends is a successful (published) novelist. Not the same as a cookbook, but . . . When and if I undertake this I know it will be a labor of love and you are on my radar as a source of info. Maybe even a small amount of...

Mikey

Was culling photos and ran across some UVI shots from one and (I believe) three. This one of Vic and Pee Wee always brought a smile to my face. http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x54/mikeylikesitnow/010_7A.jpg I have more. Last night I was looking through recipes for a particular item and realized I...

Mikey

I'm in! Wouldn't miss it.

Mikey

I have a sudden craving for oyster saute and a cold clear.

Mikey

Watch out for the alligators, Vic.
They're hungry this time of day.

Mikey

Mikey

Brew, That's a totally different issue and I agree, but never stand when you can sit and never walk when you can ride. Driving is just riding behind the wheel. Had a plaque in my first car that said: "Anyone not happy with the operation of this vehicle will observe the mistletoe attached to the coat...

Mikey

As I was lying in bed pondering the problems of the world, I rapidly realized that I don't really care. It's the tortoise life for me! 1. If walking is good for your health, the postman would be immortal. 2. A whale swims all day, only eats fish, only drinks water, and is fat. 3. A rabbit only eats ...

Mikey

Me three.

Mikey

Meeting you in Venice and then spending a couple of weeks with you in Port Eades created stories that bring smiles to everyone who hears them. Your personal journey shared in this sandbox brought all of us closer together. Because of your honesty I found myself admitting things about myself that I n...

Mikey

Drove a '65 GT 350 for years. Wish I had one now. Still think the GT 40 is one of the handsomest cars ever.
When mentioning Carroll's stats how about seven wives. No wonder he needed a heart transplant!

Mikey

First you make a roux . . .
Had rock last night. Damn good!

Mikey

ZOWIE!

Mikey

Price
Service
Quality
Pick two!

Hung on the wall in my shop. Customers ask for too much, point at the sign.
They ask for all three . . .they can't afford me.

Mikey

Very nice, John. Will she raise rock?

Mikey

John,
I revert to my two previous posts. A squirt between the ears has worked very well for me in the past.

Mikey

If the last word in Charlie's post (corroded) is correct (and I'm betting on it) refer to my first post. Squirt the crap out of it!

Mikey

Follow Uncle Vic'd advise on all things electrical. Annually squirt all connections with Corrosion X. If you haven't done so recently give everything a shot and then wait 24 hours. Magic happens!

Mikey

NOW you tell me!

Mikey

the enemy of any slate roof is a qualified repair person. If it ain't broke . . .
My brother read articles in Fine Homebuilding acquired the tools and repaired his own roof. He says it is a lot easier than it is touted to be.

Mikey

Peter, Been doing this work for nearly fifty years. There is no easy way. The important thing is not how you cut through the plaster as it is always a mess. The important thing is a respirator for you! Not a dust mask, those are useless as . . ., well, useless. If you want to survive use a respirato...

Mikey

Hey, Morning Wood, if this is a true moniker you should know this one:
What did Jeffery Dohmer (sp) say to Lorena Bobbitt?
You going to eat that?

Mikey

Damn, Harry, makes me want to get Dreamsicle in the wa. She's looking great! Went to work on her yesterday and ended up spending the day helping a friend get his blow boat ready for racing season. I'm his crew. He had some fiberglass work to do and hadn't a clue. What is it that Cap't Mike used to p...

Mikey

Rocket, OH! Now you tell me!

Mikey

Thought this was a discussion of marriage.

Mikey

Walter,
Glad mine is orange.

Mikey

Harry, Love the ones that sneak up and kick you in the slats.

Mikey

Vic, Thanks. Had a slight over heating problem last year with the starboard engine when a hose let loose. Seems to run fine since but over heating will re-adjust valves and since they have not been done since I bought them it's just insurance. Think I'll ask our local Cummins shop what the freight i...

Mikey

Keep it cool, Harry. This could happen. Don't know nuffin 'bout Alabama. Love to see it from a B-31. Was in Birmingham eons ago on a speaking engagement for the construction industry but was able to see only the inside of a hotel and airport. Mobile Bay certainly looks interesting. Good fishing? Are...

"Mutual admiration society."

Mikey

Joe E. More pictures! Before I had Dreamsicle I restored a '57 Deville convertible. Did all the work except the leather. When I bought her she was a low mileage, first owner, burnout. Took thirteen years partially because of parts and partially because of $$$ and partially because of my personal bur...
