bob...you just know how to have fun!!

randall

clean or what?....and the white is WHITE. i like that.

randall

how times have changed....the summer when i was 8 my parents sent me to a camp in the adirondacks where you canoed around for weeks. life jackets?....nope. you had to swim a half mile and then you could go. our leader was this great 18 year old guy . there were four groups and the other three leader...

randall

bob...i've spent a fair amount of time in the adirondacks myself. its the largest state park in the US. all my travel was in a canoe and you can get way out there on the little streams that run for miles and connect the chains of lakes. mt marcy is also the highest in the state. you can cover more g...

randall

i've skied with a tow rope behind a truck. fun...and you dont have to worry about a jet flame incinerating you. at least it was probably warm back there.

randall

sh!t........i have a show in new mexico that weekend.

randall

peter......exactly. sports are fun to jaw about but i have to wonder about letting them really effect your life...unless you are on the team.

maybe thats why yankee fans are so grouchy most of the time and mets fans are happy go lucky?

mike...water skis were invented in 1924 TODAY on long island by a photographer. theres a shot of him skiing with a big box camera on a tripod. he started a company and sold the first manufactured skis for........5 bucks a pair.

i'm a font of useless info.

randall

caren and i will certainly add you to our prayers.

randall

bruce.......the key word is not "after".................it's "before".

randall

actually i have found that a lot of good sex can fuel creativity and production. seriously.

randall

this is the one near my house...would show better with some long shots.

randall

its the same thing every year....call me on some august night when its 70 here with a nice ocean breeze. going for a walk on the beach....i dont expect to see anyone or anything....cept maybe some gulls and deer tracks.

randall

its downright balmy here today compared to yesterday. i think its above freezing.

randall

actually its a typical pattern. la nina' brings more moisture in from the pacific. you get a large early snow and a self fulfilling prophecy kicks in. more cold weather and more snow. one feeds the other. unlike most it seems......i like it. but just for winter.

randall

vic...my boat will do 40k on the GPS and there's still 400 RPM to red line.
and my boat has clapped out 1984 engines.
take off the bridge, the roof and all the other stuff....look out!!

i actually know where a donor hull is. its less than a mile from my house. all thats missing is time and money.

randall

peter....i ran that one thru my head a few times. one of my fantasy boats would be a 25 with two large diesels forward with straight drives and a wood deck. just a cowl...no screen and the helm mid ship. screamer.

Bertramp wrote:the engine weight further forward on the inboards probably helps too.

exactly...plus no I/O weight off the stern.

randall

bob...i built models for a living for years. i spent months building design models only to have them trashed when the concept sold. this includes an 18 foot long model for disney. they sold the concept with a video of the model than trashed 10 months of work.

randall

the inboards have a reasonable scupper but the ball in cup outside valves solve the problem anyway. highly recommended for 25s.

i watched him do it. luckily we were in the slip and not 70 miles offshore.

randall

jets showed grit and heart....but 24-0....jeez overcoming that would have been something. maybe with another quarter. i hate to lose on a defensive TD ..........................in the first half....yikes!!

randall

not lookin too good here.

randall

no...but i have become privy to a regular set up a guy out here has in his basement. its right next door to the house on the bay where i took you and patrick. its pretty mind blowing. its a scale replica of a town in pennsylvania. about 10 permanent employees. lots of research. its built as a period...

randall

thanks jack. i was just driving by on my way home and noticed it was actually pretty calm.....happens on rare occasions....so i took the shot.

randall

jack..."queen of hearts" has inboard v-drives (i'm pretty sure) like mine. bertram built about 160 of them

randall

if the jets win sanchez will hold the NFL record for playoff games on the road.

any given sunday.

randall

theres a bunch on the back of one of the t shirts. i dont know who has the art work.

randall

the steelers will be a much tougher challenge to the jets for one huge reason.......respect. both teams respect each other. the jets were fired up against the pats. they used the 45-3 loss as an advantage. actually it was an advantage on both sides of the line. the pats thought it would be easy and ...

randall

or not....10 years in refinished once...

randall

dug...i guess you missed the tape of the pats guy tripping the jets gunner. its pretty common. heres the deal......love him , hate him or dont give a sh!t... these are the facts.......the jets have been a sad sack second rate team for FORTY years. even parcells couldn't go to the playoffs two years ...

randall

news flash!!!.....rex ryan gives game ball to vic roy.

randall

sanchez is a slow starter....hopefully they can hang in till the last drive. that seems to be the only time he can really play.

randall

the first one was the QB keeper where he put his palm on the turf just short of the goal line....but what the hey.....looks like seattle is toast.

randall

i only followed the game out of the corner of my eye. i was listening to music at my friends bar. so i have a question. it looked to me like TWO of the pack second half touchdowns were bogus. the first the QBs hand was clearly down before the end zone and the receiver was clearly knocked out of boun...

randall

peter...ive paddled in and out on my surf board many many times. only a viable option if you are going surfing or its really hot out. somewhat scary at night in a crowded anchorage. you can always emulate walter and get a skiff for the flats, a bertram 20 for the bay and use the 31 in the ocean. the...

randall

peter...it wouldnt work for me at all. way to heavy. i live 3 minutes from the water...lots of different water ..and throw the kayak on the truck and go. when i put it in the bertram i generally do everything myself. the little pop out sit ons you can get for a few hundred bucks actually make more s...

randall

peter...i wouldnt want to be in any kind of weather with that system. the inflateable is so popular because it is an unsinkable giant fender. very versatile and you can fish and carry a bunch of people. mine (the one mike's friend amy left at my house two years ago for the winter) has a johnson 15 a...

randall

any length will fit. you put it on one engine box with the rest over the transom. i guess a really small one would actually fit in the cockpit. 25's are like sport fishers with no rear cabin bulkhead so i slide mine across the dinette table and let it hang over the stern. i just use towels and bunge...

randall

that platform was "custom". all the way. how many platforms do you expect to get ripped off? that said...giff's is very cool.

randall

all kidding aside.....florida is the only state without snow at the moment....and it aint far off.

randall

i hear it snows in NC...hell...its snowing in mississippi and georgia.

randall

ive noticed the weather is more unusual than usual. look at atlanta.

randall

i liked his come back to rex..."i'm quicker but hes probably stronger" a great way of stating the obvious....the coaches dont make the plays...the players do.

randall

we got about 6-8 but the first 4 were really wet and heavy. walking back to the shop i barely sank in. like i was wearing snow shoes. last night huge slabs were blown out of the trees and were landing on the roof. a noise i never heard before. thump!!

randall

rex is a sideshow...BUT..this is the first time the jets have gone to the playoffs two years in a row and rookie average QB has won the most playoff games in jets history. more than namath (2-1).

randall

c'mon bruce...he only said 57.

my friend called. he said since it started snowing all his wife does is look through the window. he said if it dosent stop soon hes gonna have to let her back in.

randall

its pretty easy to tow an inflatable.

randall

i throw my 16 foot kayak in the bertram all the time. and its a 25. i've kayaked all over gardiners bay the easy way. in a 31 its a piece of cake.
