Nicolas Sarkozy, The French President, is sitting in his office when his telephone rings. "Hallo, Mr. Sarkozy!" a heavily accented voice said. "This is Paddy Down at the Harp Pub in County Clare, Ireland. I am ringing to inform you that we are officially declaring war on you!" "Well, Paddy," Sarkozy...

Mikey

Outstanding! Love the hull color!

Mikey

Thanks Bob

Mikey

Got the after coolers out and apart and thankfully they are in good shape. Pulled the covers off each end, dried them is much as possible and used Vic's magic elixir, Corrosion-X, to separate the coolers from their casing. Sprayed and left over night and, voila!, out they came with the aid of a hamm...

Mikey

Wow! Two things come to mind. First, the end justifies the means. That had to be an immense mental project not to mention the physical work. Second, quick, somebody give this guy a boat to do or he'll have the entire flatlands of Texas irrigated and set out in rice paddies by fall. Patrick, as alway...

Mikey

Randall,
My tiny little mind gasped at the envelope Guido gave you.

Mikey

Harry,
Is that the new simplified tax code?

Mikey

Once again, my friend, magnificent but what is this recent obsession with boxes of $$$?

Mikey

Harry, Wayne
Thanks, as soon as I get my taxes done (#&@$%*) I'm on it.

Mikey

Bruce, Noticed that one of my zincs unscrewed inside the aftercooler. How do I get it out, short of removing the aftercoolers? Also, Can't I do the aftercooler cleaning myself? UV, years ago, gave the instructions he had used which included removal, disassembly, muriatic acid and rodding and serious...

Mikey

Kevin,
Timing is everything. I'm doing the same. Noticed that one of my zincs unscrewed inside the aftercooler. How do I get it out, short of removing the aftercoolers? Since the engines (6BTA 300) are twenty years old maybe I should remove them and clean, huh?

A friend using his high-school French in Paris to impress his new bride tried to order orange juice for breakfast and got an artichoke. Only the arrogant Americans. Did you see the new Sports Illustrated's cover girl on the Today show? She is from a small town in rural Russia and speaks English bett...

Back in the 70's while traveling down the inter coastal we passed the Cape during a night launch. We were about ten miles away and when they lit off those Roman candles you could read the fine print on a car dealer's contract. One of the most awe-inspiring man-made sights I have ever witnessed. Grea...

Mikey

Costs on Tortola for residential construction average about $300 per sq. ft. This is usually a concrete house built over a cistern with metal roof. I make this sound very simplistic but the builders on island are capable of some very nice and intricate work, depending on the builder of course. Many ...

Mikey

Tommy, Nice catch. My bad, flu brain at work.

Prices range from $68,900 for .53 acres to $195,000 for 1.50 acres.
Not bad for a slice of paradise.

Mikey

Patrick,
We have only five lots left and all have an ocean view.

Mikey

"Brewster...with todays' mail service . . ."
Service???? You have to be s#*ting me.

Mikey

A week from today and we're there. One more blast from the frozen North. Love our Canadian neighbors but this time of year I'd like to close the borders to their weather. May I sell anyone here a piece of paradise? Let me know. http://michaelkennedysite.com/business/belmont-estates/Belmont-Brochure....

Mikey

Harry Babb, you are one sick puppy.
That's one of the things I love about you.

Mikey

Mark,
You have our prayers.

Mikey

I'd take the snow. We have sleet, freezing rain and mayhem on the roads with more to come.

Mikey

Tightened my colon just to watch the first few seconds, then my sphincter tightened to the point of destroying my chair and I quit.
Faced the angry sea in a tiny boat without a thought but heights . . .Whew!

Mikey

Just you wait, brother Randall, just you wait!

Mikey

We're half way through this crap here on the Northern Neck of VA. and the rock fish weather vane on the boat house has 10" on it. Was about to brag that we're going to Key West but the high there today is 57.
Hueso, I'm coming!

Mikey

Andy,
I'll check when we get there.

Mikey

Need more detail.
Who's deck?

Mikey

This sandbox is one of the blessings I count.
Merry Christmas, Faithful

Mikey

Cleaning lady?? What does she clean?

Mikey

Drat! Arriving in K.W. on the 29th, staying through the 5th.
A miss is as good as a mile, a nod's as good as a wink . . .

Mikey

John,
Is she staying in the neighborhood?

Mikey

Better than the Obama Chia pet.

Mikey

Bob, I want the sticker in your back window. Where did it come from.

Mikey

Matt,
Montana is that place where if summer falls on a weekend they have a picnic.
Bring on the palm trees!

Mikey

Vic, Did an oyster saute for the Club's annual meeting. Quadrupled the recipe you gave and they went berserk! wanted to take a picture of them leaving the kitchen but the trays emptied as fast as I filled them. Never had a reaction like that for anything I've ever prepared. Coincidentally at the mee...

Mikey

Dug,
It's a nugget of a plan. Pursue it. Sign me up!

Mikey

When I read the first of this string I was tempted to post a picture of ice on our creek.
Think Randall has us beat.

Mikey

Patrick, you need a hobby. Restoring B's is not enough?
Merry Christmas, pal.

Mikey

Dug,
Painted the dash, and powder coated the inset to match the other exterior metal.
Patrick,
Dad always told me, "Don't force it Michael, use a bigger hammer." The same only difernt.

Mikey

Yes on covering everything when not in use. I put a towel (too cheap for a fitted cover) over the gauges, GPS/fish-finder, radio, throttles and wheel. Not pretty but it does the job and keeps inquisitive eyes off.

Mikey

I used VDO Ocean which fit in the original holes and work great.

Mikey

Patrick, That's why I changed the 'word' to 'hoots!' Didn't want to offend. Buju, First thing I noticed was the girl was scrubbing with the blade towards her hand. If that's the first thing it may say something about me, huh? Harry, Still haven't got that figured out. Married for love not utility. I...

Mikey

Gents, This is a terrific book. As one who loves to cook I have found Walter's book invaluable for the seafood lover in me. The recipes were collected from captains around the country and have short stories about each of them. It is richly illustrated so that even non-cooks can do the deeds. If not ...

Mikey

When I was 13, I hoped that one day I would have a girlfriend with big hoots. When I was 16, I got a girlfriend with big tits, but there was no passion, so I decided I needed a passionate girl with zest for life. In college I dated a passionate girl, but she was too emotional. Everything was an emer...

Mikey

Chiles, Sent some to my Chairman in FL. He is from the Bay and said they were the best in years. Had some left over from an event a few weeks ago and hung them in the creek in a crab pot. Took them to the Club and roasted them for the guys. There was a stampede at the bar, and for once it wasn't for...

Mikey

Think Wylie Coyote used them in pursuit of the road runner.

Mikey

Hueso, Thanks for the picture, got my ticket to ride to palm trees but have three months to wait. Drat!
Dreamsicle is now on the hard for the winter and looking quite forlorn.
ALready making plans for next season.

Mikey

Randall had it right. A friend put me on this path and Google clinched it. Thanks Patrick for assembling the Faithful. I would never have gotten through the seven-year restoration without you all. First for the endless suggestions and help and second for just listening when I got down about the boat...

Mikey

Damn, he's done it again!

Mikey

I've done his recipe so many times since Vic first posted it and it sure impresses my oyster slurping friends. Again, Vic, Thanks. Oh, by the by Vic, Happy Animalversary to you and Ms. Elaine. 44 years with you and she hasn't killed you yet. What a triumph! If you can't get the best oysters there, t...

Mikey

An Irish Blessing for Thanksgiving I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright no matter how gray the day may appear. I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting. I wish you enough pain so that even the smallest...
