Hear you on this one. Just not feeling the urge myself this season. Spent today mowing the lawn and setting up a new kitchen stove. Maybe it's an age thing, I'm hoping just the results of a chit spring, a river full of crap and way to many irons in the fire. I will be ready for action by the 4th, I think!

Which pills you talking about?

sorry to hear if any elders are in failing health. I see it every workday. Saddens me more so than about anything I see.
Maybe having to do with the fact that the potential continues to draw closer for all of us.

On a more positive note-
It's 7:18 and there's all this roadbuilding equipment in my yard!
The man says to me "we're gonna make it black today", "you're gonna have one top-shelf driveway "
!

Hey Rip!

Glad to hear from you as well!

Good luck with the paving project!

If you had made it to the boathouse this weekend, there were more Formulas then SeaRays!!!

Had another 353 in da house! We welcomed Wild Cherry to the Bay!

Question for 5P,


So what's the Facebook deal about someone being harassed by authorities from a third world country while in limp mode?

First off, I'm not sure Canada is a 3rd World Country...secondly, you have to USE your boat in order for it to break...and finally, a simple matter of fatigue. A broken / cracked rocker polylock caused some clatter, and was been replaced NASCAR style with only a few laps lost in the pits. Back on the River in less than 2 hours. Not taking any chances, I ordered all new rockers with new polylocks.

As for the OPP, they just wanted to check out my boat. If you haven't heard yet, there is some serious harassment going on over the border these days.

Not up at the boat this weekend due to the weather and things at home need my attention. Long weekend coming next week with the 4th!

I've heard that...

No doubt the authoritative agencies (I'm sure bilaterally) are realizing the well of excuses for fat anti-terrorism funding to harrass the average joe is running dry...

time to fill up those logbooks with BS "investigations"!

Twas 5P that made the comment on Facebook not me, I assumed his reference to a third world country was ment to mean Canada. Just curiosity on my part as I had no idea.

Samantha has told me of the talk on Facebook and I did read the article in the local paper about the fisherman. Sounded like an isolated deal to me, the State Department upheld the action of the Canadains, so claimed the article. Is it more widespread than that? The illegal fishing deal is the only thing I have heard of so far. Guess I'll find out soon enough, boat needs gear lube, gas, cockpit carpet and a launch. Maybe tomorow down here to test some props, A Bay towards the end of next week.

The fisherman that got snagged was from B'ville. There's been some good articles posted regarding the politics of it. They say it should be resolved in a couple weeks, most are calling for a return of the guys $1000 and an apology. Currently it sounds like if you're in Candian water, your motor better be running, once you shut it down you should be checked in. As I said on Facebook, I say we get 30-40 boats with big ass American flags, go to Canadian water, split our sticks and spin on station for a couple hours, of course notifying local new authorities with a chopper. My only fear there would be that Canada would shoot down the chopper for violating their air space....

So is this a widespread deal or pretty much the single incident?

I remember reading in the newspaper some time back that there was to be a new task force located up here along the river. Believe it was to be HQ'd in Massena, not positive on that. Made sense to me, Res being close by and all.
