  1. Other than the wind.. Yes today would be a perfect day. Imagine the boats are banging off each other out there today.
  2. Maybe TJ will buy it so we can use it as a club house... The Grant family had a great thing going.. they just got a little over zealous in their "endeveous". Don't let it all fool you that they're actually broke though... the "house" was owned by the corporation.
  3. You talking getting pneumonia or the room cost at the Highwayman ?
  4. I'd like to thank everyone involved in this from the bottom of our hearts. I have a good idea whom the "suspects" are.. but since you wish to stay annonomous all I can do is thank you here publicly on Jennifer's behalf. You've all made a young women very happy, "there really are people that care in this world". What Geoff failed to "complain" about and to show you how badly he wanted to put this all together with the help of some other fine OFC'rs..... He hadn't planned on presenting it on Wednesday. Thursday afternoon was the planned event. Lots got buggered up this week with a planned stay over Easter weekend to have the Oncologist at admission say.. "we're gonna change you from a full week treatment to an overnight treatment so you don't have to spend the weekend here". Now that would have been nice in advance, with a whole bunch of family visits planned (from as far as 300 miles away).. spa night for the gals in the hospital lounge.. etc now thrown out the window. I called Headhunter at 11am, as Geoff was in a meeting. Message relayed and Geoff blew his lunch time to come to the hospital only to get there while Jen was getting her chemo pushed into her IV line. So he got to wait in the hall for 1/2 an hour, then quickly present Jen with her gift and pretty much had to bolt to get back for a 2pm interview he had scheduled. Again... THANKS to all involved. The smile says it all. (btw.. that's not just a single $20 sticking out of there)
  5. Running better with 1/2 choke says it needs to be a tad richer (choke = less air) to run than the jets are letting it with no choke. So try the idle screw ccw a 1/4 turn. Generally on most any carb they are set 1.25 to 1.5 turns out from closed... ie turn cw to lightly seat closed.. then ccw 1.5 turns to start and tinker each way leaner/richer from there in small increments. Start off by seeing where yours is to start. Count the turns cw until it seats and you at least have a "return" point if that doesn't clean up the problem. The next crowd is gonna be.. pour the seafoam to it...
  6. Good times with the "boys" Dave !!! What it's all about...
  7. This about sums it up perfectly..
  8. How would you handle someone buying it on Spec and putting renters in next door to ya! You could be the grounds keeper...
  9. Good luck with your future Jackie !
  10. Thanks Albert.. enjoy the grandkids!
  11. LOL Salty.. in reality, my pepsi is in that blue bag on the picnic table along with our lunch. The beer can is from the firepit. If you think I'd really tip even one and then fire up my hand made creation.. not a chance.
  12. Yah... but I can drop in out of the sky and drink your beer!!!
  13. Can't believe so many look at a weather forecast 5 days out and start cancelling their plans!! Just pack the car and go. Heck.. I've got a May 1st date with GBay and at this point we're missing over 3 feet of water where we want to get the boat through. Maybe Andy will show a picture or two to show what I'm talking about. Rain.. bring it on! lol
  14. Sorry Al.. it didn't happen and I'm now in the city. Be Tuesday or Wednesday before I'm back home..
  15. Slow down and just Poke around today Brian !!
  16. My solution for you washing machine problem is a good women Will !
  17. So with that.. the answer would be YES, the 25th !
  18. You can do that any day of the week in a certain Waub river bed...
  19. Note for any that knew him... you can send a condolence card to the family thru the link Garry supplied in post #1
  20. Yes, Mr "dehydrated" is in the line up tonight.
  21. Have fun Ryan... I'm packing my suitcase, but I'm not headed there unfortunately!
  22. Any vinyl graphics shop. I ordered my steel boat set, and boat name, from here and had them in a week. http://www.decalcity.com/
  23. Not a chance Twocoda.. as Headhunter pointed out above trying the leverage trick is just suicide. I always asked any of our supervisors, or set up techs, that tried that if they needed a hand loading their toolbox and took over their shift 5 minutes later.
  24. Don't EVER burn poison ivy. You think itchy arms suck... try breathing in some PIvy smoke !
