Apple, Cherry, blueberry.

That was an hour I enjoyed!

As the original poster, what I was commenting on was the fact that one has to pay an additional amount over and above one's taxes in order to get the services of one's local fire department.

Well I see by your sig, you should fit right in here. Welcome!

This beggars belief! http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/101006/world/us_house_left_to_burn SOUTH FULTON, Tenn. - A woman in the southern state of Tennessee said Wednesday she doesn't blame the firefighters who watched while her house burned to the ground after her family failed to pay a $75 annual protection fee. Paulette Cranic said the firefighters who came to the scene were just following orders. Her family had paid the fee in the past but simply forgot it recently. Cranic, 67, said she's just thankful no one was hurt in the fire last week that destroyed the doublewide trailer in rural northwest Tennessee. "You can't blame them if they have to do what the boss says to do," Cranic told The Associated Press. "I've had firemen call and apologize." Firefighters did not try to save the burning structure because Cranic had not paid the subscription fee for fire protection. Firefighters went to the scene to keep flames from spreading to nearby property whose owners had paid. The county has no free fire service. Her grandson, Lance Cranic, 21, who lived there with her and her husband, started the fire while burning trash in a barrel. He went inside to take a shower and upon returning saw a shed next to the house in flames. It spread despite his efforts to put it out with a garden hose. Paulette Cranic said they had paid the fee in the past, although sometimes late, but it slipped their mind this year. Lance Cranic said "this is something I've got to live with the rest of my life." "To see the house and everything you grew up in burning down before your eyes is kind of harsh," he said. He recalled that he called the fire department and asked them to come but they declined. "I was in shock," he said. Local officials did not immediately return phone calls Wednesday to The Associated Press for comment but have confirmed to local media that the family did not pay the fee.

I am hoping to launch for the first time on Saturday. It will be a family affair, my wife gets the first ride, then the kids, and then my brother who helped me a tremendous amount on the project. The question is; where do you guys suggest that I launch? Reasonably close to Hamilton, no $20 launch fees and hopefully a place to put something in the livewells.

Oh I know he is a heck of a guy, just ask him......

If I get back from running the new boat on time, I'll be there.

Say what you want, he sets up wheel bearings like nobody I know. My trailer tracks as true as a die....

Aww, com'on Garry. No need for that, if you fall overboard we DO want you to survive.

Put them in warm water.

Well, she is all married, and the evening went well.

As Dan said, thanksgiving weekend. I am willing to host in my shop, but not till the following weekend. Oct 15.

Even at $20 a launch, it would be cheaper.....

Thanks guys, I am busy with last minute prep...

I am busy this weekend too, my oldest daughter is getting married tomorrow

Have shop, will loan and help.

Be careful what you wish for....I'm in if you'll let me.

WOW! bare fish porn! or is it bear????

Exactly what I said to the marina operators. As well, it is the off season now if I am not mistaken. If I don't want to go in the fall, would I want to go in the summer?

Moosebunk had a real good post about that. Move your fingers and search....

I can relate to all of the sentiments expressed, however when one's back is up and a certain level of outrage is attained, anyone can be a stubborn as a mule.....esp me.
