Tried to call Walt a few minutes ago (1:04p.m. Friday) and he was discharged at Noon.
Now I need a home phone. Any help?

Mikey

U.V.
You da man.

Mikey

Brewaster
Don't give up. Ask Bertram, bet they say Okey dokey. U.V. should have a contact person. Worth a shot.

Mikey

Hey, we're their best sales staff. Bet if we hold our heads just right they'll do them for us and give'em to us.
Sorry, must be the drugs.
Had the Bride drive me to Dreamsicle and climbed the ladder on crutches. Started making chronilogical plans. Don't tell my Doc.

Mikey

Vic,
Thanks. Tony is making the cross-over exhaust for the port engine. Talking to him this week and will ask.

Mikey

Vic,
Sometime back I believe you did a post on raw water pump impellers. I tried, to no avail to search it out. Who's impellers were you touting? Is there a serial # on the pump itself or will my engine serial # be enough. Also where do I buy them?
Thanks

Mikey

About a six or seven inch wing span. I'll take three.

Mikey

Dreamsicle is an express. My favorite model. I understand why you off-shore boys want the sport fish or flybridge cruiser but that's why God invented towers. For the kind of fishing done in the Bay and tributatries and the creek cruising the captain/helmsman is in the cockpit with the other fisherme...

Mikey

Homophobe! Guess it depends on where you wear it. I have always worn bright colors, seemed to be a chick magnet. You haven't met the Bride yet, you'll see.
O.K., but no white t's with anything imprinted, always reminds me of a painted undershirt. Like you, a personal thing.

Mikey

Get Capt Mike inn the fray on this. He did what you're talking about and seems most pleased.

Mikey

Michael
Isn't that UV's Dream Team? And as we close in on gimpy's project wouldn't that become the DREAMsicle TEAM?
Hmmmmmm?

Mikey

Whew! THanks Patrick, guess I can go back to shaving while gazing on my older bald countenace in the duck pond.

Mikey

Thudddddd, As an actor I have been describing my self as a bolding, middle-aged white guy. My Bride informed me sometime back that the balding part is incorrect as the last fell out years ago, she also tells me the middle was long ago; so, am I still a white guy at least? I aint looking in the mirror.

Mikey

NOW you suggest it. Where were you last month before the $45,000 surgery? I could have gotten a new knee, some Buds and clears, invited in several of the Faithful and done the whole thing for a s#%t pot less. These guys can do anything.

Mikey

Walt, Looks like I was the forward scout for this item. Knee gets better on a daily basis. Slept through the night with only two awakenings. Both times my middle-aged bod needed to pee. A couple of caveats. Do as Bruce said, don't push it to get well too quickly. Our crowd by nature seems to be impa...

Mikey

In no particular order I am going to start plying the Faithful with questions hoping not to have to reinvent the damn wheel. One - Dreamsicle came with badly corroded Morse MT-3 shift unit which I would gladly replace with new except that it appears from my research that they are still making the sa...

Mikey

Last year in St Thomas I bought my first watch in forty years. Citizens- $300, beautiful dependable. Those would probably be the only criterion women would use in making the selection themselves.

Mikey

Thanks again U.V. for the reminder shot in the shorts. It's in the mail. Moved my first post-surgical appointment up two weeks since I was not dancing in the aisles yet. The saw bones (literally in my case) reminded me that I did not have major surgery on the 13th of NOV but two major surgeries. He ...

Mikey

Nice going. Great pic.

Mikey

One of the best shirts I ever got (rendezvous back in the '80's) showed a 35 coming off the crest of a twelve footer and about to drop unceremoniously into the trough. The caption, of course, "Thank God it's a Bertram." Like the truck idea. I still have "Best boat ever built" license plate frames on...

Mikey

Ms. B and I got an airedale pup in January to replace the previous house humorist. As is normal Ms. B named her. This one is Emmy. Think, Guys Think. . . I'm in the t.v. movie business. You got it, Mikey finally got his Emmy.
Not that funny from my view point.

Cute pup, that Bertram.

Mikey

Mike, Welcome. As the owner of a five-year project that should have splashed long ago do as Bruce and the rest say. Life's too short. Spend the $$$ go boating.

Also, to paraphrase Tom Hanks, "There's no neckties in boating." We gots to do somfin 'bout dat pic with the suit and tie.

Mikey

Happy birthday. All things considered, it is a blessed event.

Mikey

Thanks for all the encouraging words, Guys. Since this replacement is the culmination of a twelve-year battle as the results of an accident, I have been through and understand completely the need for and pain of P.T. In 1994 while visiting my closest friend he beached a PWC, blind sided me and pinne...

Mikey

Not sure about Cabreras. There work is beautiful but not sure they are still in business. No phone. Spottu replies to emails. If they are still around they build the prettiest, most complete, most easily installed componenents. Down side is that instructions are on one sheet of paper. Check everythi...

Mikey

Randall, Bertrams were made for we the short. Thank God something was. Buying clothes is a pain. The men's shops usually start just above where we are and the kids shops are either to slim or the stuff sucks. Not the reason for the call. I just finished up with Jerry Avery at American Marine. They d...

Mikey

I'm back! I think. Nov 13th I checked into Virginia Commonwealth University Hospital And the deed was done. This replacement was the untimate result of an accident in '94. Where most replacements are done in two hours or so mine took about four and a half. Recovery will be about three months (instea...

Mikey

Guess passing the old "Re-elect Judge Dibrell" comb through the last three strands in my head worked.
Congrats!

Mikey

used my lucky "Re-elect Judge Dibrell" comb today. Hope it does better for you than me. My hair still hasn't grown back.

Kevin, in the immortal words of Bugs Bunny, "never try to outrun something you can outsmart." Not sure humans have figured out how to outrun water 100% Rule's the Rule. Been using them as far back as my ancient brain will allow. Never a failure. Putting in three Rules in the renovation. One at the s...

There is a B25 hard top on the lot at Chesapeake Yacht Basin in Kilmarnock VA. 804-436-1234. Not a project, it looks to be in very nice condition. Not sure of the power. Let me know if I can help.

Mikey

Glad to hear your rant as I spend two days making a side window fit. I had planned an installation that would have been visually O.K. and then when I took a second look realized that it wasn't worthy of the rest of the work. As I soldier on with this it certainly helps moral and stimulation to hear ...

Mikey

Capt Dick,
Almost always wear a UVI shirt when traveling by air. Amazing how many conversations are started like that.
Bruce,
Them Waltons is from VA. Oops, shouldn't have admitted that, huh?

Mikey

Looks like a factory hardtop to me. I have a 31 hardtop express. Looks like the same style top.

Mikey

Got a catalog from one of our favorite suppliers and they were sporting Rule bilge pumps at a great discount. As part of my due diligence I searched the internet and found www.starmarinedepot.com with prices on a lot of stuff (including said bilge pumps) cheaper than anything I had seen before. What...

and again. Got the scoop, Guys, on how some of these broads are getting votes. Subterfuge! They erase the cookies on their computers and stuff the ballot box. So, guess we're over our heads but we can keep fighting legitimately.
Vote early, vote often!

Chiles,
Done! Where's my calendar?
Call me this weekend if you have a moment.

Mikey

I am totally verklempt. Trying to design the electrical system for Dreamsicle. Here's where I am. Pair of 6BTA-300's. That's it. I can do anything at this point and have spent restless days on the internet and sleepless nights trying to figure it all out. I'm planning this as a day boat, day fishing...

Looking for aluminum to aluminum. Want to be able to open those beauties.

Small prob, whenever this type of thing happens the boat in the shot is an FBC or SF and we, the few, the brave, the express owners have to buy what's available and explain, "well, you see, there were several different models and . . . "
I'd buy'em anyway if it supports the sandbox.

Mikey

Joe,
one is enough. Restoring an express. Wish I had known you were there. I would have bummed a free lunch and talked endlessly about the best boat ever built. Slainte is gorgeous. What does the name mean?

Mikey

ALWAYS keep your flares upto date, but I keep the old ones in a separate tupperware container. If, God forbid, you run out of current flares the old ones may save your hide.

Mikey

Went to the Annapolis Power Boat show to look at pieces parts. Saw lots of good stuff, learned plenty and didn't step on one new boat. Just didn't need that. Met John Patnovic from Worton Creek Marina; the guy who bought a bunch of Virginia's retired 31's and is turning them into works of art. He sa...

Growing up in Va Beach as a Boy Scout (yea, I was) I saw those things being built. A lot more to sinking one than you'd suspect unless you want it to land upright. Why didn't they just hit it with an iceberg, it worked for the Titanic.

Mikey

Speaking of WW II, my brother currently has a series running on PBS in Virginia called Virginians at War. It will be running Nationally very soon. For all of you WW II historians I will keep you posted.
Mikey, appears we both have very cool brothers.
Lucky us
