I dropped the PD off at the boathouse last night for "scheduled maintenance" on the Yamaha. :'( Hope they don't hit me too hard . . . ::)

My neighbor found out her dog could hardly hear, so she took it to the vet. He found that the problem was hair in its ears so he cleaned both ears and the dog could hear fine. The vet then proceeded to tell the lady that if she wanted to keep this from reoccurring, she should go to the store...

Sorry if this is a re-post, but I just saw it. And why it's in the BBC news and not any US news service is beyond me. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/5065510.stm New shark discovered in US waters A new type of hammerhead shark has been discovered in the northwestern Atlantic Ocean...

I have water leaking into my cuddy from above! :o I know from past experience that they’re not watertight, but this is different. Can’t tell exactly where it’s getting in, but it is dripping down near the hatch, and the scary part is that it’s brownish, kind of like Coke-colored, to the point...

A friend just gave me some fresh dolphin he caught out in the Stream -- good eating tonight! ;D Fire up the grill honey I'm coming home!

Not Wellcraft related, so I put it here in OT. I just really like these boats. If I had lots of disposable income I'd really consider something like this: http://www.yachtworld.com/core/listing/boatFullDetails.jsp?boat_id=1510433&ybw=&units=Feet¤cy=USD&access=Public&listing_id=59909&url= or...

This happened about 2 miles from where I keep the PD.  I was heading to the marina (by car) and turned on my handheld VHF in time to hear the wrapping up of the rescues.  By the time I got on scene the boat was pretty much the way you see her here...

Maybe this should be in the "Fishing" section? ::) ;D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92yHyxeju1U

Anybody here besides me follow the Iditarod? It is THE last great race. I've been addicted to it for years, and hope to volunteer for it someday (it is almost completely staffed by volunteers). Jeff King has claimed his fourth victory -- Cheers, Jeff! This is the latest from the ADN site. If...

A friend and I spent a few hours Saturday at the boat show in Savannah.  It was a combined in-water and indoor show at the convention center on the Savannah River.  I haven’t been to a boat show in many years, and went more out of curiosity than anything else. More than anything it confirmed to...

Hey, all. Now that I have a speedier connection to the internets, I was thinking of signing up for a free photobucket account for pic posting. On the signup page they ask for some personal info, including first and last name. Being somewhat paranoid about personal information and security, I...

No, I didn't catch it. :( The Pipe Dream has been out of the water since before Christmas. We were considering launching her Sunday, but the windy, drizzly, foggy conditions were enough to delay us until next weekend. Yet these guys were 30 miles offshore fishing! :-[ However, I do know the...

Police are warning all men who frequent clubs, parties and local pubs to be alert and stay cautious when offered a drink from any woman. Many females use a date rape drug on the market called "Beer." The drug is found in liquid form and is available anywhere. It comes in bottles, cans, or from...

I've found some weird stuff while fishing, but nothing like this. :-X http://www.local6.com/news/5857483/detail.html

So long, until Oct. 1 I'll be up in the Boundary Waters area of Minnesota, fishing, hunting, canoeing and hiking. :) The Pipe Dream is on dry land in case any ugly tropical systems come toward SC in the next week. Tight lines everyone!
