Just a quick added note, if you look at the pics you can see I am wearing my automatic inflatable......in the rain......well, it did not pop in the boat, but it did pop in my car on the way home.... Anyone know how to deflate the darn thing, and what it will cost to get recharged?

It was his boat, so....

Tutorial tomorrow! Looking forward to casting with you again.

AW nuts!

I have permission, I'm in!

So, playing one full game with a broken elbow, another two with a fractured upper arm, having my nose broken on 5 different occasions, three teeth kicked through my lower lip, and having my knee sprained are not signs of toughness? After all of these injuries I got up and ran back to my goal. The players on the field take the same hits as hockey players do, but without the equipment and the ability to hit back for fear of ejection.

Keep this philosophy in mind the next time you hear, or are about to repeat, a rumor. In ancient Greece (469 - 399 BC), Socrates was widely lauded for his wisdom One day the great philosopher came upon an acquaintance, who ran up to him excitedly and said, "Socrates, do you know what I just heard about one of your students...?" "Wait a moment," Socrates replied. "Before you tell me, I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Test of Three." "Test of Three?" "That's correct," Socrates continued. "Before you talk to me about my student let's take a moment to test what you're going to say. The first test is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?" "No," the man replied, "actually I just heard about it." "All right," said Socrates. "So you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second test, the test of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my student something good?" "No, on the contrary..." "So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about him even though you're not certain it's true?" The man shrugged, a little embarrassed. Socrates continued, "You may still pass though because there is a third test - the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my student going to be useful to me?" "No, not really..." "Well," concluded Socrates, "if what you want to tell me is neither True nor Good nor even Useful, why tell it to me at all?" The man was defeated and ashamed and said no more. This is the reason Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem…. > > > > > > It also explains why Socrates never found out that Plato was having an affair with his wife.

Survey says!

So which game are you getting him??

Any that have Holland in them......

Cancel the wedding.....It will not be fun!

Make sure that the problem that cause the piston to blow is fixed as well. Carb, reeds, oil injector etc.

You will use the money from the sale to pay off the loan.

Post your planned tricks on the internet so that they can be turned on you.

Hup Holland!

Stay away, they tend to blow up.

It is always better to be over prepared than underprepared. You wife and kids won't mind if you come home after an incident because you spent more on safety equipment than you were LEGALY supposed to. However they WILL be very upset if you don't come home. 20/20 sight is best used in foresight than hindsight.

Why bother, she already has a bed heater..... Congrads! Mom And Dad made it to 56 years, till death did them part.

As Ann Landers says, It's not the length of the ship, it's the motion of the ocean.....

Aren't you supposed to be GIVING the tests????? (groan)

Sounds like a man who should be interviewed by a pro reporter and written about.
