Bunch of wipper-snappers.

I'd already put in 4 1/2 yrs in the Navy, married & divorced the first wife, (after the Navy), finished my college degree, and started my first profession by July of '72.

Pat's birthday is August 20th, daughter Heather August 15th, granddaughter Stephanie Aug 27th. I too was released from high school in 1965, College 1969, married in 1969 son in 1970, first grandbaby 1998. Boy some of you guys sure are young or am I an old fart? 1947 was a very good year.

CaptPatrick · Post by **CaptPatrick** » Aug 25th, '08, 07:53

Charlie, you qualify as a Junior Member of TOFS, (The Old Farts Society)...

What no Pisces, 03-13-67 for me.

Okay, the curiousity has been peeked. What was the 1st profession, cause if you did it half as good as this one I can't imagine anyone letting you give it up.

Master Goldsmith. High end custom designs in gold, platinum, diamonds, etc... Got tired of dealin' with the Suzi Gotrocks of the world.

Capt Pat, I'm not sure where she is, but I am sure where ever she is her ears just perked up, kind of like a dog picking up a scent. (I'll deny the last part of that statement in case anyone ever decides to mention.)

I was thinking that was a huge career change, but I can see similiar talent requirements. Have any pictures of your work?

Wifes birthday is 03-12-68, just a day before mine, different year, just bringing us back to the original thread.

CaptPatrick · Post by **CaptPatrick** » Aug 25th, '08, 16:26

Carl,

Only photos of my jewelry work are real photographs, nothing digital & ain't hooked
up a scanner for several years...

Nearest things to jewelry these days are like this stainless steel standoff for exhaust
hose for the starboard side on Pat Hancock's B31.

randall · Post by **randall** » Aug 25th, '08, 16:28

neat....

CaptPatrick · Post by **CaptPatrick** » Aug 25th, '08, 17:29

Randy,

As Paul Harvey might say: Here's the rest of the story...

Bruce · Post by **Bruce** » Aug 25th, '08, 18:32

Pat,
I picked up the props today(ouch) and if everything goes right will do the sea trial on Wed or Thurs.
If the storm looks like its heading down our throat, I'll hold off.

It needs a blister job and bottom strip, I got Blake giving me an estimate. Want to sea trial it and come right back out of the water to do cockpit side panels and floor between the engines.

Owner said he wanted a loud alarm. Gave him a 10" bell that's louder than a womans mouth.

I will be glad to be rid of this 31.

BTW 8/4 birthday for me. Just turned an old man.

Leo's will inherit the earth, or at least keep it running.

Pete Fallon · Post by **Pete Fallon** » Aug 25th, '08, 19:22

Bruce,
Give John at Coastal BoatWorks (561-305-9080) he's got a new soda blasting machine that works real good, he's in Riviera Beach off Blue Heron near Mil Trail, you met him with me last year, Blake know him also. Patrick 1-26-47 for me, not quite as old as the rest of the old farts but getting there. Implants in me cost more than my 31 when it was new in 1961.

Can you believe your boat was old before you where born...

Capt Pat, those pics are my kind of jewelry.

Dug · Post by **Dug** » Aug 26th, '08, 08:42

Funny, I had no idea we were so infested with Leo's!

7-29-1969 for me.

I love the fact that my boat and I were "born" the same year...

This is a fun thread!

Lizzy is 4-20-1976.

AndreF · Post by **AndreF** » Aug 26th, '08, 09:58

Dug, I'll continue to point out interesting things for you. Stay tuned.

Did you know that teacher's unions own 40% of Exxon?

Your fren,
Andre

Dug · Post by **Dug** » Aug 26th, '08, 10:56

Andre,

YOu know I live for that!

Again, interesting. Love my taxes too...locally anyway. Argh.

You guys are depressing me. Gemini 6/2/34. I think its between me and Doc as to who is the oldest fart in our bunch. Then again, it's all in your mind, isn't it? Walter

LEO 7-25-76

What I want to know is how you guys that are more youth deficient than myself can stay on top of maintaining these boats. There is always something that needs tending and some days I just can not deal with it. Maybe it is the oppressive heat of the summer that makes say the heck with it. My hat is off to you guys.

CaptPatrick · Post by **CaptPatrick** » Aug 26th, '08, 21:03

On target, Walter... It ain't the years, it's the miles.

Walter & Capt. Pat

Look at it this way,

"The older you get the better you were."

Now if that was only true

Its an age thing Kevin.......you just make every effort to do it right the first time then just plug away a little at a time but be consistant.....

But it kinda goes like this

One day a local farmer purchased a new younger bull and put him in the field with his much older bull.

The young bull ran up to the older bull and said "Hey bud! ! ! Is that a bunch of heffers across the pasture"?

Without looking up the older bull said "Yep..........sure is"

The young bull then said "Lets run over there and screw one of them"!!!

The older bull then responded.........why don't we just walk over there and screw ALL of them.

Do we have any Sagittarius colleagues????

I ain't as good as I once was
I got a few years on me now
But there was a time back in my prime
When I could really lay it down
I ain't as good as I once was
But I'm as good once as I ever was

Whaler1777 · Post by **Whaler1777** » Aug 26th, '08, 23:31

Tryin to keep on top of things over here, going to try to post up some progress pics this week, gutted out the v-berth last week going to start putting back together reall soon!... Proud to say that the PD just gave us a well deserved raise about 4 days ago (2nd one in 6mo's) bringing us somewhat closer to the Long Island cops... First time that officers will be working with an active contract since the 1990's...

Mikey · Post by **Mikey** » Aug 27th, '08, 08:16

Walt,
My wife was born in '45 and she's older than you. It's all in your mind.
Hope she doesn't monitor this board.
