You know Im lazy :D

Saw the Firefox project the other day.. Sick boat man, sick boat!!

It would be "more worked out" if you tossed that wrecked bat boat and shipped me the trailer.

I gotta' get that 24 out of Charlie's space. Saccenti is bring his 41 mold next week.

Chris, where is the boat?

At Banana in Tampa.

I was thinking about putting a nitrous tank in mine. Maybe one for the engines too:cool-smiley-027:

Damn.. If it was on the east coast I have storage in WPB and Miami...

With fuel prices the way they're heading, I'd imagine alot of boats will be doing extra "trailer time" this season. Your idea has merit- at least you won't know you're not on the water.

LMFAO!

I'd third that :D Please keep us updated on the.... Cig FF!

you will have to wait 8-10 weeks for any pics from dave....:D

Chris, if there is any way to get it to WPB I can store it for you...

Thanks, I appreciate the offer. :)

When I come to get the boat, I'm planning to spend a few days. Since I had planned to come to LipShip to pick up the trailer, I made plans to hook up with some OSO members while there. I still plan to hit Miami. I'll PM you and we can enjoy some debauchery.

Cigracing1- Kudos for you by owning up to your mistake

Chris Sunkin- great attitude (kudos to you)

I'm 5 blocks from Phil's, let me know when your down :) :)

Ditto

Chris nobody is perfect what happened with the strainers you
said you would take and then backed out? It's cool with me you could have just said I changed my mind. They will find a home eventually.

I e-mailed you several times on them- if you still have them, I still want them. These are the tall one's, correct? PM me with contact info. Please include a phone number.

See now there ya go Chit happens & things change :D:D:cool-smiley-011:

LOL,

You mean you didn't first make numerous personal threats and threaten to smear the guys name and boat all over the internet with a bad taint. You mean Chris didn't just back off and say OK you win. You mean you didn't have Chris start a new thread and have him type everything that you wanted said so you could feel that much better about yourself. And all because the guy changed his mind. I had an OSO member aproach me for some tax help and I had to turn him down because heavan forbide I do something wrong and he throws up my hard earned name and firm all over OSO. This thread makes me want to puke.

Don't go thinking you've earned that much in the name...
You're still a ....:evilb:

Just bustin'...:D

Yeah, Tex, I'm an evil, nasty person. You get a gold star for outing me to everyone here.

You know, Colin made a mistake- unfortunately it had a ripple effect that messed several people up and caused some of us to not be able to do what we said we would. But then he came here & set it right. I respect him for that.

What do we respect you for Tex? Stuff like this? In the last while, you've been coming out of left field on alot of topics and taking some heat about it. You and I have gone back and forth and rather than attacking you, we've shared our viewpoints and talked. Now another left-field attack? I'm sorry you feel that way and felt the need to take your shot here.

I'm not looking for respect, I come here to gain knowledge and when I see a thread that needs a different perspective......well then tally ho. Dare to disagree........I'm not a sheep and I don't really care much what people think of me on this site.

I guess I just feel for the guy. His only mistake was trying to sell you a trailer. He wasn't selling you a weekend at the Aronow race and its not his fault the way you went about organizing the pickup. I don't like the way you use OSO to publicize every little transaction that doesn't come out the way you want it too. I read your post earlier in the day before this thread started. You threatened to publicly tarnish this guys reputation and boat if he did not come on here and apoligize. That just doesn't sit well with me. I understand if this guy took off with your money or sold you a bunk trailer, but all he did was change his mind.

OK Tex...

I use OSO to "publicize every little transaction..."?

Point one out. One. You are flat-out fabricating on this.

You read a post about this topic prior to this thread? Point it out.

Another fabrication on your behalf.

The dealing between Colin and I has been settled and it's our business. It was unfortunate that it affected other parties- a chain of events that was supposed to happen but didn't. His actions caused me to break my word and no-show on someone else, causing them issues with commitments that they made. Colin was an honorable individual and took the hit, thereby squaring this with all parties. That's what a man does. Obviously something lost on you.

You werent referring to this incident when you posted this? Lets see a show of hands for how many figured this was the deal :party-smiley-004: Cuz you know ... he manned up :D

http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/s...=189609&page=2

Pretty oblique reference, wouldn't you say? Tex inferred I came on here & called the man out. Not the case. Colin & I had already had our discussion. He decided to do the right thing and let everyone who was affected know it was his issue that caused the whole chain of events.

There's a certain amount of this I hoped to stay between he and I. That's why I said what I said in my first post. It's done. Colin did what was right.

What Colin did seems to be lost on a small pecentage of you. He caused someone an inconvenience that without him realizing, caused another person an inconvenience and down the chain- all of it avoidable. By coming on here, he did an honorable thing- he took responsibility. He also let those down the chain know that it was his responsibility, not the last person behind them. There are few places out there where this seems to happen anymore and for the most part OSO is one.

Colin and I are good on this. The other people involved are good on this as well. The rest of the spectators are free have their own opinions on the topic.

I've said my last.

Hi Chris,

I thought that since this has nothing to do with me, and that it is really none of my business, and that it is all already worked out, and that it was worked out at the top of the thread, that I should toss a completely uninformed, incorrect and agitating comment in:
You are a big meanie and a terrible person. :D

I'd just like to add that the use of "tally-ho" in a conversation should warrant a 10 day no posting ban. People need to start taking responsibility for what they post. :D

Down Boy,,,,, I dont think its going where you think it is !!!!!!

The exception should be posts originating from the UK, and when DollaBill is referring to bar tabs and ladies. :D

You never know what it means these days. In our present climate, tally ho could refer to counting women of a certain racial background.

I was just listenkng to XM radio where they were talking about "using a big hoe to shovel dirt" onto one of the levees. I immediately pictured a large black woman in way-too-short/tight shorts and dripping with attitude, wearing boots and knee-deep in Mississippi river mud, shovelling away. But I'm kinda' weird.

Chris scares me.....:cool-smiley-011:

Now there's a mental image that is gonna haunt me for the rest of the day.

In my mental image she starts chicken-necking her head and says "You want me to what??? I ain't digging no hole for nobody muthafxxxxx! And I fosho ain't getting in that mud."

L@@k who crawled out from under the desk :D: Holy chit its JOHN :eek: Whaz up BIG Daddy and to show up and call CHRIS a big meanie and a terrible person... OMG :evilb:

And finger waving. Definitely finger waving. And pointing. That odd, disjointed, from-above, pointing down finger pointing. Left hand on her cocked-out, massive hip. yeah.

WOW BIG Daddy ,better take a Looooooong deep breath after that one :D:D

75+ responses and 2700+ views on this thread......the boating season must be really slow this year....... :party-smiley-004:

slow ain't the word for it and I thought this was going to get outa controll. Glad it didn't we have had way to many B.S. threads lately. Chris glad to see it nipped early :ernaehrung004: P.S.--- Love the new avitar

Damn, you're on a roll today:D

I can picture the long fake nails - french polished of course, with a little plastic jewel type thing on each finger.

That's the truth. I highly doubt I'm gonna see water this season.

This is an amazing thread in that one guy apologized to another, the apology was accepted and yet still it has gone on for four pages. Why does it have so many views and posts? Well, the subject line is pretty gripping.

Still, it's amazing. Every time I log onto this site I learn something. For real. And one of the best things I see happening here is conflict resolution.

This a perfect example. One guy was man enough to apologize. The other guy was a big enough person to accept it ... truly accepting apologies isn't all that easy.

Back to lurking. Sorry for the disturbance.
