I pretty much only rent at Land's End. The breakwall does a good job of knocking down the main channel waves. Your boat will move a bit during the day but not to the extent to cause any worries. Just raft it off in the middle of the slip and you are good to go. Best view on the lake.

+1. Land's End is one of the nicest places to stay. And definitely one of if not the best view.

MO opens the 4th except around KC. I’ll probably come down for a month while IL stays closed and camp on the boat. Assuming my WiFi is on to work remotely.

We are thinking the same thing, except that nagging little work part, which we graduated from. Just in time for that nasty pollen to start falling which seems a bit behind schedule this year. Hopefully some of the restaurants on the lake and around town will start opening.

I`ve extended my stay at gulf shores twice now, everytime I think of going back to that Illinois Police State I wanna puke. Fat fuc k governor extended the stay at home bs for another 5 WEEKS !! and now wants us to wear masks in public. State is beyond broke but lets keep the businesses closed , sure makes sense.
my Business is 90% down so what`s there to come back to ?

I booked a place at Lands End , it looks really nice.
Thanx

It's not offshore, and it's not LOTO boating. Nothing positive is coming from this clusterfckarama and I'm sorry if holding you to higher standard than the rest of us hacks was not appropriate. Will leave that up to you to decide if I am off base or not.[/QUOTE

clusterfckarama: I am using that in the near future, if you don't mind.

You can and should hold me to a higher standard. It comes with the hat. If you can't handle critique, on point or baseless, journalism is the wrong profession.

I try to opine here carefully and selectively. Should I at all? Perhaps not.

But the subject of bankruptcy (and that really is all I commented on) is a hot one for me because I've lost money to it. And still, I support it as a course of last resort for some. Have I seen the downstream effects? Oh yes, which is I why while I don't support the notion of debtor prison, Offshoredrillin makes a good point. Paying—literally—for the poor decisions or even the plain old bad fortune of others really, really sucks.


Conversations meander, it's the way of things online, especially these, especially with politics. I don't enter the fray because it is, as you say, a "clusterfckarama."

See? I used it already.

But bringing it back to the thread subject: The Lake of the Ozarks is among the finest inland boating destinations I've ever enjoyed, and I've been lucky to spend time on a few of the world's most amazing waterways. May it return to robust health. I love the lake. But I love the people more.

And I'm out. I hope that you and yours are safe and sound.

What is rarely discussed is the lenders role. Many lenders are way to free with loans. Some loans come with high interest rates. We will give you 6 months no interest but if you dont get it paid off in the 6 months interest is retro active at 30%

I was an appraiser for many years. I saw the way mortgages were made change. Make riskier loans. Peddle subprime mortgages that carried high interest rates to people that could afford them. Make standard mortgages to people with a pulse. All the while the loan officer collected a dar check and the lender passed the a risky loan

Many bussinesses are highly leveraged. Very high fixed costs. Think of airlines and how many of them have had multiple bankruptcies. A big surge in fuel costs or a down economy sinks them

Gm declared bankruptcy. Some industries are in decline and a business trys to hang on to long, think print media. Some industry carries a high level of risk, bars and restaurants, etc.

Bankruptcy most times is not fraud. I am not advocating it but it is part of business in America. I dont feel sorry for lenders

I do feel sorry for the smalll businesses that are owed what to them may be a large amount of money. In some cases enough to cause them to close.

The media has enough people brainwashed and they don`t want us in their homes.
Emergency service only doesnt pay the bills .
People without jobs are not getting new equipment or calling for estimates on new stuff which is our bread and butter.
Havent had an estimate in 4 weeks.
