Hot Stepper,
Don't know if Mom made it to the porch. We ended up back over at Bonnie with Jon and Andrea for some food, like we needed it, and cocktails. Was sort of a belated Anniversary deal for them. Also a bunch of other folks were back over there as well. Some went bar hopping downtown, 1/2 block hop from Skiffs to the Docksider, only places open. 5PM, Prices out just north of 3/4 of a Mil at the showroom discount price. Big diesels with the new Zeus drive system and loaded to the nuts with a top end of 40 mph. Very innovative design inside and out, Sea Ray did their homework on this one. No incriminating pics from the weekend, this is a class act, what happens in the Bay, stays in the Bay. |

So you feel that since, let's say, certain "hard core folks" didn't show up it was an insult to HBW? Were those the words from Mark and Wendy? She didn't say anything like that to me on the phone the other day. I'll call her tomorrow and check to see if that is how they felt.
Dave What I specifically said was that "I feel it's kinda of an insult to them not to make an effort to show up". At least that looks like what I said. Mark and I go back some 25+ years. Years ago it was pizza and wings at his house every friday night during boating season, with Mark and Wendy, Ritchie, the Koes, Christopher and I, and sometimes some others. Christopher and I always went to the Syracuse show and Mark always included us in the after show dinner with the gang. We always did the pre-poker run parties he had years ago. I've worked for him for quite a few years now, worked the Syracuse show, Samantha has always helped babysit on the show boats, we hang out and do dinner at the end of the day with Mark and Wendy. Always do the Parties in the Pavillion when they have them. Mark and Wendy are some very old and close friends. So yes, I would consider it somewhat of an insult for I / Me / Us to not make an effort to show up for Boaters Weekend. So I guess you shouldn't put words in my mouth here, or that of anyone else either. BTW the general consensus, as of this past weekend, is that you owe Samantha a big time serious apology for the accusatory E-mail of 12/22/08. Maybe someday you too will find out exactualy who the "HIGH" level carbon trigger is. In the meantime take it as fact that you are wrong, man-up and work on the apology to Samantha. Oh, and a thumbs up to Endicott's "best and only .... ..... within 100 miles". Bang up job. |
I remember seeing the 43 in a brochure Rockstar had last August, looked incredible. A little out of our ballpark, but hey, we can all dream. Will the 43 make it to Syracuse?

Well done piece or sure. Yes, Mark says it is going to the show for sure. And BTW I heard this past weekend that you may be privy to some real priceless information :D. We need to have a serious phone conversation!!! I'd give a nut to know if what I heard is in fact true. |

I know well your tactics... eclipse other perpectives and facts that counter your position wherever possible and begin the incessant assault on any open ear with your version of the truth. keep in mind people have been known to commiserate with you (what in your world you call "agreement" or "consensus") in their state of aural exhaustion just to get you to shut the phuk up. As an aside, I do think it's sweet how you've graduated from past behavior to "defending her honor" indicates real growth on your part. :ernaehrung004: Calling Dave out to "man-up" hmmm....my experience tells me you might want to look that one up before throwing it out at others. but maybe by some very slim chance, just maybe you really are someone we should all look up to: 1. the vastly experienced poker run veteran (prior Velocity forum BS self inflating post I happened to catch) 2. everybody's best friend since the dawn of time :rolleyes: (see above embellished, self-inflating post) and 3. the embodiment of integrity itself... ROTFLMAO :p shouldn't you be somewhere in your tiny cape and tights: fighting fountain hate crime? sniffing out in a most feminine, over-sensative way, fountain defamation? ALERT: Just in on the tribal-phone, someone is questioning your value to others and vaaast experience with all things... "QUICK!...to the azzhole-mobile!" pull it up behind a keyboard and let the smoke-blowing commence! |

though I do believe the "built and (then) torn apart" order as you put it. this is the usual course of trying to figure out how you phukked up the build in the first place. :D I was tearing my first minibike down to the frame on my own regularly to repair it/clean it when I was 7 (you know the one I bought with the dollar a day I'd get paid for hanging around on the farms on the two sides of us trying to move bales of hay that wieghed more than I did) I used to bring it in pieces into the house and use the bathtub for a parts washer when my parents weren't home- made my mom go ballistic more than once when she found the aftermath. I R&R'd my first jug/piston in a snowmobile at 9 with help... (from my 9 year old buddy) basically grew up otherwise on the farm where tearing chit apart and fixing it was regular everyday fare in my late teens as a dabbler in paying jobs as a auto mechanic (was going to go down that career path) who had previously completely overhauled his first TH-400 at 16. The powerglide in my '65 Imala SS was cake after the 400 (it was alot lighter to lift onto the bench too! and then in my early 20's, by then with a half dozen modified cars behind me, a CNC machinist and set-up specalist in an aircraft shop (well...rocket and missle pumps/starters actually) who spent plenty of time troubleshooting both manufacturing set-up and part/assembly performance...which as you well know you gotta pull it apart when it fails and figure out why. ...that is when I wasn't holding half-thousandths tolerances on a 3 spindle 90 tool CNC working aluminum investment castings... dozens and dozens of toys from F-bodies and Corvettes to bikes, sleds, and 6 boats now...even that Sea-Doo wasn't stock. I guarantee you I've had more just sleds in pieces than you have had toys total. more in numbers "than you ever will" that I have done a great majority or all of the work on myself from typical service/repairs and mild mods to complete frame-offs pretty bold statement there management-boy do more homework next time. and the end event of any of my work has never been the fire dept arriving on scene. :grinser010: Guess we're all a little guilty on occasion. Forgot to note here, this rambling was not in response to a comment from me. |

I occasionally brag a little too... about the quality of the work I do with my own hands, and my efforts to make the most of the little that I do have. hmmmm.... guess that's what makes us different huh? Imagine that. Not to mention setting the Sea Ray Pachanga guys straight, the trailer re-builders, diesel guys, and of course your fast becoming quite a formidable presence on the trails since you have re-enterd the sport of snowmobiling after your hiatus. |
Even though Rip doesn't know anything about the recent, blown out of proportion, prank…He has my back and is not afraid to spell it out from Ragged’s ridiculous posts, which as all can see are there just to stir the pot.
One piece of advice to you Peter…Don’t throw stones in YOUR glass house. Dave PS: Rip check your email |
Mid-winter blues I see.
This is all just so petty, WTF!! |
BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH !!!!
Glad to see nothing has changed .... For awhile I thought I may have missed something. Thirdbird and Rippem i will be on the hill from tuesday night to friday night give a shout ..... lets do some riding. Jeff |

As a beginner most landings hurt, both kitty and I can attest to it....fortunately The Last Run at Labrador stocks Corona and the Captain. Good heating pad, a Corona, close your eyes and it's just like being at the beach.
Where is that pic from? Lot of water and some freighters in the background, Seattle, WA. ? If you start with the Coronas and Captain the landings won't hurt as much, or at least for several days. I remember the days of my youth when we would do the Friday night skiing deal with the old goat skin flask, falling down never hurt. |

That ain't much of a mountain, any less downhill and it would be uphill. On a real mountain when you look down you see the tree tops not the root system. Mick chase snowboards like he does golf carts? |

Went to the west side of Mi this past weekend and found the Yamaha Hotel :drink: well actually it was called the Day Star. But I think my new naming is appropriate. What do you guys think. From right to left Our twin vipers, next the neighbors twin SRX's, and third in the line is one of each.

Who rides the second one?
Twins is a big boy, I hear he rides both. Kind of like the old (very very old) Ski Doo Alpine twin tracks. He has a thing about twos, twins, pairs and such. Like a pair of drinks, one for each hand. :ernaehrung004: :ernaehrung004: |

Jeff You're close, it was twin track with one wide ski, but waaaaaay off on the engine. The old ones were 18 - 20 hp and looked like this. This one has had some extra ventilation added in the front where the original pop-up headlight would have been. Elans, well I bought one for Christopher when he outgrew the Kitty Cat. The 292 SS twin, now that was one hot Elan. Next Quiz, ................. Ever ride a Huskie? Know what that one was? Bonus Questions, ................ How much horsepower did the first year TomCat have? And who was the manufacturer of the monster motor that was in it? |

Not really, I just grew up with this stuff. The first sled my Dad bought was an Arctic Cat with a 7 hp Kohler 4 stroke. He was so taken by the new snowmobile deal that he took on Arctic Cat and sold them for years at the dealership in the early '60s.
No shot at the bonus question? I remember my Dad taking me to the dealership to see the new Cats when they showed up, and the Tom Cat was the new powerhouse, lit my eyes right up, big power :cool:. He wouldn't let me drive it, too much power for a young kid. I did find a site the other night with an unbelievable amount of chit on all the oldie sleds. As you age taking an occasional trip down memory lane has it's benefits. |
Not wanting to switch the thread from sleds to boats......but there was a flock of about 30 robins in Michigan today???? Apparently they didn't here that the ground hog saw his shadow

Right, why would anyone want to chat about boats on a boat forum. :rolleyes: You ready for the anniversary festivities? :D |
