Randall:

THe next time I need surgery, I'm having them call you in to do it -- cause u cut better than any surgeon I have seen.

Tom

TailhookTom

Harv:

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Best wishes,

Tom

Bruce: I am evil -- my series 70s come out of the safe and make holes in paper targets. They are treated well and in immaculate shape -- mine are all Clark modified hardballers -- I have a Springfield Omega 10mm -- can't stand firing that even though it is ported it still kicks like a mule and obvio...

TailhookTom

Bruce is that a Series 70 national match?

TailhookTom

Timmy:

Let me know when you affix those grips to the Glock--I'm waiting to do mine too! Attach with Plexus? Superglue?

TailhookTom

Merry Christmas and a Happy and Safe New Year to all of you!

TailhookTom

Rest in peace and may perpetual light shine upon you forever my friend.

TailhookTom

Dug:

You flatter me, but Krista would kick your butt for it.

TailhookTom

Dug:

THanks for the weather jinx -- when you open your car door saturday and all the snow falls out of it, remember me, cause I'll be the one that put it there.

Tom

TailhookTom

Capt. Dave: Just want you to know we are thinking of you and wishing you a speedy recovery.

Tom

TailhookTom

Walter:

Good luck and best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Tom

TailhookTom

The worst part is, if you do not file a return, and they catch you, they can go back to the beginning of your company with estimates, plus penalty and interest. Of course there are ways to fight that, and as Walter alluded to, fees for the professionals to defend you. The interesting thing is that t...

TailhookTom

This is not an ad for my services. I just want to make everyone aware of the Federal Manufacturing Tax on Sportfishing equipment. One of my clients just received a patent and is manufacturing a new spreader bar -- made out of clear plastic. Anyhow, I had to inform him that there is a 10% Federal exc...

TailhookTom

Bruce:

Thuuuddddd already has a set of motors!

Tom

TailhookTom

Doug: I did mine in the water and used a dial indicator on the shaft. From what I understand, if you are shorthauling, the hull shape will be okay to do an alignment. But if you are going to be on the hard all winter, then the land would be a rough alignment and putting it in water for a few days wi...

TailhookTom

JP:

Two words -- RELIGIOUS CRAP!

Translation for THUDDD (the kinder gentler TImmy) Holy S*@T!

Tom

TailhookTom

Mikey:

I remember the discussion thread -- something about less than $10 of parts? All I remember was diodes and clears --- I think I might have had a few too many clears, but this is the time for me to do the same thing.

TOm

TailhookTom

Thuudddd -- grab all the covers? You have covers? real men don't bring duvets on a B31!

TailhookTom

Thuddddddd:

What is up - I thought you were working on the kinder gentler thingy -- shouldn't you have taken JP out for some sushi, followed by a trip to the local meditation parlor?

Aka, the strip club?

TailhookTom

Yeah I know that Drill -- seems like I am doing more on the houses these days than the boat

TailhookTom

Dug: I understand Grasshopper got some Yanmars put in her -- something like 315hp? I bet she will fly now. Tiger tells me that they are blowing out the mechanical Yanmars right now at Port Niantic -- 15k per motor for the 6 cyl. I always like the interior of Grasshopper, but those 8.2 Detroits were ...

TailhookTom

Beautiful job! How fast were you going in the pictures?

TailhookTom

Timmy:

Hopefully Kathi won't be looking on the Joisey post -- otherwise you will be enjoying the duvet on the couch!

Tom

TailhookTom

Why, Timmy? Go for it -- I have thick skin!

TailhookTom

Niantic - 3 -Tailhook, Sexy Lady, Grasshopper
Groton Long Point - Alchemy -- Dug, any more in there?

TailhookTom

Neil: Sounds like Aruba was fun -- I look forward to meeting you as well. Thanks for the link of the picture of JR -- I got to see Norman and TIm's ugly mugs! At least they were fishing on a non-pink boat!

TailhookTom

Timmy: Krista loved the new duvet and said to tell you the check is in the mail

TailhookTom

50 cal on a groundhog? Damn but you are the Sportsmen of the Year, Timmy!

Hate to see what you hunt moose with!

TailhookTom

Scott:

Sounds like you wish you had the varmint rifle ready?

TailhookTom

Does Merit = Bribes?

TailhookTom

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE KIDS WHO WERE BORN IN THE 1930's 40's, 50's, 60's 70's and 80's !! First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us. They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes. Then after that trau...

TailhookTom

Timmy: I will see him this weekend and confirm -- nice to know a plumber who is a boat guy. He said no way was he putting acid in that plumbing for even 5 minutes. I believe he used warm sudsy amonia and pumped it through for an hour. Regarding the duvet -- Krista is in charge of all things domestic...

TailhookTom

Timmy: One of my dockmates has 210hp 6b cummins in his Slampage -- given that they are 1987 vintage, he was nervous about acid. However, being the cleaver plumber that he is he set up his acid pump and literallu boiled his raw water cooling system. I think he used nothing but hot water, no acid. He ...

TailhookTom

Neil:

I made the mistake of trying to keep up with Timmy drinking one night -- not our Timmy -- let me tell you -- I know why Thuuuuddddd has his nicname.

Tom

TailhookTom

Yeah, I crewed on the Betts -- if you know Norman, you must know Timmy his friend from Buffalo? Tough boat to fish on, the Betts -- making the crew wear pink shirts is just WRONG!

TailhookTom

Neil:

If you want, I can see if I can scare up that picture and get it off to you. The funniest thing was watching Bobby in Walmart -- I think he tried buying the entire store cause everything was so much cheaper than in Aruba.

His boat was a piece of work, wasn't it?

Tom

TailhookTom

Neil: I knew Bobby very well -- I fished the Big Rock with him several times -- one of my favorite pictures is of Bobby fishing standup style with a 130 curved butt -- he didn't want to sit in the chair, so he fought a 40lb Mahi standup -- and smiled through the whole thing. Sad to see someone so yo...

TailhookTom

Dave:

Krista and I are praying for you.

Tom

TailhookTom

Timmy: Sorry, I couldn't resist -- I can't remember the movie, but the line was "oh my God, I used the word duvet in a sentance, and I knew what it meant." Krista didn't have to circle the picture for me in the catalog, she has a real man, she reached into my wallet, took out the cash and bought her...

TailhookTom

Timmy:

Given your kinder and gentler status, I assume the next thing you will be telling us is that you are going to have a duvet custom made for the Hatt, and know what it means?

Tom

TailhookTom

Dug:

Since when did you become Rambo?

Tom

TailhookTom

Tim: The "tubb" looks pretty nice -- doesn't look like what I expected based on all of the "friendly" comments. Anyhow, if you are looking to keep weight down, I took a ton -- literally out of my boat by getting rid of all the plywood and wood and replacing it with core cell. Raised the chine 3 inch...

TailhookTom

John: Looks like you are going to have some fun--and I do mean fun, I did the same thing myself about seven years ago. Here is a suggestion, and I am not trying to bust your butt or your budget -- get rid of as much of the wood as you can now, and replace with fiberglass/composite. Seven years ago I...

TailhookTom

UV:

Not a comment about the "vulvas?" Must be the holiday spirit thing!

TailhookTom

Mike: Are you trying to get off the mean team? That response was to the point and NICE -- who is that masked man?

TailhookTom

Walter: Best of luck on your surgery and a fast recovery.

Tom

TailhookTom

UV: I am in, and I will offer up the following, in addition to my check, Billy Martin of Marine Structures is going to donate a 4 way rod cluster to be used for this fundraiser -- use it as you see fit he said.

TOm

TailhookTom

Happy birthday, Professor Mike -- anyone that UV says is the smartest man alive is okay in my book. And after the year you had --- well, everyday is your birthday!

Tom

TailhookTom

You are all wrong -- prototype rocker stoppers. Hasn't anyone else been following the board?

TailhookTom

UV: If we put 25 of us together, we would spend the entire day debating how the rocker stoppers work - each with our own theory as to the physics, etc. of what makes them work. Me, I studied beancounting -- my approach, if the boat is rocking, tie it to the dock. If it is rocking at the dock, buy he...
