    Memorial Weekend......... All the crazies come out of the wood work. I am not pin pointing any group but the Bayliner bunch are the most dangerous by far. Simple because those boats are inexpensive to purchase and it brings out the week end warriors with their families. Add in families that "must" spend time together drinking takes place. Who really wants to spend the day with uncle Eddie and his brat kids. ( I see a boat/snowmobile relation here). Anyways Lets all be safe and remember your boat does not have brakes. No wake means no wake! Your shaking my house, most of all, Please take a moment to honor our Fallen Heros.

    Wife did not like it??????? Heck she went to the laundramat and I am sitting under a tree watching the crazies go by. I have a friend who will sell me his 01 Sea Ray 48' which has all the latest upgrades with washer and dryer, 60" plasma,etc. He has about a million two into it. He said, Give me 385 and it is yours. His wife is all about the grandkids and they never us the boat. Cummins diesels the works. Year round living if I drop that much coin. It books at around $575,000. I would have to keep it, he said He knows how much I love his boat so I can't flip it.

    I would say buy it, try it for a year and if doesn't work out, sell it for 500 and your still ahead and you'll know. Never second guessing if should have or not.

    What about the 2 10x30 storage units full of my wifes stuff?

    Ezra, it is about five grand for slip and 5 grand to indoor heated store it per year that is still some outlay. Insurance can't be cheap on it either. But still thinking about making it work. I could buy the slip but slip condo costs run around $2500 per 6 months. Slips in here run about 30 grand unless you are ready with cash on a forecloser and those go fast.

    Okay, brain damage on my part to load pics from phone. Trust me, rain stopped yesterday, very nice evening. A momma swan went by carrying her babies on her back, papa swan in full protection mode. We can learn a lot from nature. Got a nice pic. Just need a computer wiz to get it on here.

    Stick your foot in the sink while you plug in the wireless modem and usb to upload pics. The extra energy created from the electical shock will increase your upload speed by 32%.

    You could probably reach, and sip, the Fireball at the same time. Spill a little and you'll be lightning fast!

Will still live on boat with wife and 2 dogs until snow flies or house is done which ever comes first. Wonderful, the "FULL DO NOT FLUSH" light just came on. 4 weeks not bad?? wife said, count it as a sewer bill. $30 for pump out!!!! they come to the boat and because it is saturday. During the week $20. they did take my credit card number...Sweet! Chrome cash!
