Dang Nort - it's been that long....................

I've been here since Oct 2000. I was also on the old "WAGE WAR" Board that spiraled out of control which crashed and burned. Which then produced this board that we all know today.

Thanks Jeff & Steve!

After lurking for a year or so, I finally signed up in December of 2001. There was talk of people getting together in Miami for the boat show. There was also talk by this one retard that he was going to beat the chit out of DaveP and BajaBob38 at the party. I told my wife "We've gotta go, This could be FUN!!!" We got some free "standby" passes from my Brother in law (He's a Delta pilot) and head out. Fly first class to Atlanta early in the AM....then get bumped off of 14 flights in a row. PHUCK!!!! i finally rented the last car in the Atlanta airport, which was a three cyl. Chevy Geo or something and ran wide open for 10 hours. Got to the RIU-Miami @ 4AM.

Upon getting there, we knew not one person.

The next morning we met BillR, Macklin, C-Spray, BajaBob38, Frank Civitano, Reckless32 and a bunch of others that were staying at the hotel. What a hoot!!! The next night was the OSO party. When Catmando saw the size of DaveP and BajaBob (They are both 6'5" or so) he almost chit himself. It was hilarious!!!!! Frank slept with a bottle of JD and a bush one of the nights that weekend.......but that's another story!!


Ahhhh, the good ole days!!!!!!

Time flys when you're having fun.
OSO is by FAR the most informative website ever, not just for boating but also for everything else.
A collective and diverse group of individuals from all walks of life.

Wow!!! Looks like it has been a decade for me also!! Always good to see the originals online! Miss the good ole days, but being 10yrs older, maybe I couldnt keep up those days! LOL!

So nice to have been on this board all those years.. hopefully 20-30yrs or more before I tip over...
Thanks to all the great people I have met and communicated with!

Happy boating in 2011!!!

Dick
