Reality here, UAW is closing down this plant. A year from now, when the UP bennies and job bank chit runs out, these people will be looking to mop floors at the local WallMart to put dinner on the table. Real F'n smart bunch.

I personally feel that the big union mentality and ways has run it's course in this country. They are costing members decent jobs and reasonable wages in times when any job is worth holding on to. There is a plant in Mexico that will pick up the slack that closing this plant will cause. Ain't that just real fockin' smart on the part of the UAW. These butwads just don't get it!

Thanks for the update Pete. I think I've sort of figured out my boating season. weekend before the 4th thru the 4th and then another week covering both weekends of Pirates weekend. Work pending of course.

Work pending? WTF does that have to do with boating time? I always thought that work was pending good/bad boating weather. Whenever you appear in the Bay we will likely be there.

What I do need to know here is if you plan to defend your "King of the River" status on the first trip or second? I need to make sure I get that Velocity-wear to you ahead of time so that you are appropriately attired for the event. Wouldn't want you mistaken for a Flocker.:eek:

I'll defend it on both occasions. You remember the rules right. Running start from the bay heading to singer, pace boat required, TIBBC members will be at the finish line to rule whom is the new King of the River. By the way I thought you forgot about the Velocity chit. I was hoping to get it for Xmass since I only got one thing and the wife took it form me. :drink:

Don't need to explain rules to me, your competition is not the Black Biotch.
There's a new sheriff in town, so I was told. :eek: Did you miss that?

I'll just be the pace boat, that way I can see that you guys start fair and even.
Then be waiting at Singer to see how you finish too!:D

I'll dig out the Velocity chit and get it UP'sed off to you right after I get the props off to BBlades. You need to understand the priorities here.

I must have missed the new sheriff part. By the way being the Pace boat is how I got the title last year when the racers got scared and didn't show up:drink: so I beat them to finish.
