Barack Obama was visiting a primary school and he visited one of the classes. They were in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asked the president if he would like to lead the discussion on the word 'tragedy.' So our illustrious president asked the...

After coming home with the boat on the trailer, I have been removing the drain plug and then jacking the front of the boat up so the water can drain out. I typically crank the trailer jack up all the way, prop up the trailer, crank the jack in, place a cement block under the jack and then crank...

Finally a window of opportunity where I was able to take the boat out for the first time this season! Mind you, it's nothing like MJ's first outing, but for a novice fisherman it was good for me! (and I needed it!) Although I did not get a keeper (caught 2 that were 27 inches:bat:), I caught...

Last year I had sold my catalina 22ft sailboat and went with the V20 instead (sailboat was too much work, not enough nice weather days, hard to fish from etc). The bad news then was that my "son in law" (wife's daughters husband) bought it and everyone was expecting me to show him how to mast...

Pretty cool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWt8hTayupE&feature=player_embedded

Can't seem to get any work done today. We are leaving sunday morning to the Dominican Republic for 6 nights of R&R at an all inclusive\adults only resort. Hopefully there will be some "worth looking at toplessness". :love: Been a long winter for us so we had booked this after my Mom died. I like...

Took a chance on a guy from Craigslist who said he would come and lightly sand and paint the bottom for $200. Although I think it could have been sanded smoother, the paint looks pretty good! I went with pettit vivid white, it was previously blue. He pretty much used the full gallon. He probably...

The liberals are asking us to give Obama time. We agree and think 25 to life would be appropriate. America needs Obama-care like Nancy Pelosi needs a Halloween mask. --- Jay Leno Q: Have you heard about McDonald's' new Obama Value Meal? A: Order anything you...

It looks "prettied up" with the additional seats and teakwood, but it no longer looks like a good fishing boat. I do like the beer holders on the engine cover. I wonder if that's a custom engine cover or if that's something that could be done to mine...

Looks like the bottom of my boat hasn't been painted in 10 years or so as the previous owner kept it on a trailer and didn't care how it looked. I will also be keeping it on a trailer and have no future intentions of keeping it moored or on a slip. The old paint was probably an ablative as the...

If you remember, I just got my V20 last fall and took it out 4-5 times. Got it from my shorter brother-in-law who always had the "low profile" bimini up. When I took it for a test ride, I was uncomfortable as I had to crouch down to keep my head from hitting the bimini. Therefore my thoughts...

She come down with a different infection last week that was just too much for her (especially since she wasn't treated propery\in time) and she passed away last night. :sad: It was a long tough battle as she went in the hospital Dec 24th, but now she is at peace. Its been a tough time for me...

I dinged my prop the last time I was out and was originally going to just get it repaired, but I think it would be better to get a new one and keep the old as a spare. The one I had looks like it is a mercruiser 48-78118, which according to a chart posted here awhile back is a 14.5 with 17pitch...

An Irish guy walks into the bedroom with a sheep on a leash and says, "Honey, this is the cow I make love to when you have a headache." The wife, lying in the bed reading a book, looks up and says, "If you weren't such an idiot, you'd know that's a sheep, not a cow." The guy replies, "If...

My Mom's been in the hospital since Christmas. We were planning her funeral a few times as twice we were told she was not going to make it, and another point she wanted to give up and pass. However, she has slowly been getting better and they are moving her to a rehab place tomorrow! (Sinai in...

Not sure if this is old news to you guys, just saw an email on this. Looks pretty cool in the pictures, I wonder how it performs\rides in normal seas. Some clips from the email: There have been rumors about the U.S. Navy's speedy new triple hulled ships, but now they're for real. The...
