Uh, you drink in the parking lot?
Is that the poor man's way to go drinking? *L*

She must be grateful that you allow her to workout so much AND provide you with much needed televsion.

I'm quite the provider. that's why our marital union will be such a great success

haha. Great observation, Nat.

He probably is afraid to go into J's Oyster because it's just too darn different than the Blue Oyster bar that he knows and loves.

See all those umbrellas with tables and chairs under them? Guess what they are used for. The bottom picture is from inside the bar. It's on a pier, the ocean is underneth you when you're inside. The bar next to it is actually floating on the ocean. It goes up and down with the tides 18 feet, twice a day.

I zoomed in and in the top pic I think I can see closeup playing with his dinghy

now that was funny.

none of the sexy ladies from here at RMM live near him

You mean except for Jgurl?

Isn't Martha Stewart that home rennovation lady???

JT flies an Aussie airplane!



When he wants a Heinekin he gets it from the source! haha



I have been using children.... the fiancee will do a much better job

it's a great way to keep the women in shape.

U r a wise, wise man

when it comes to my women and my money, I don't mess around.

And by women, I mean woman; and by woman, I mean wife; and by wife I mean I don't get to mess around with my money or my woman.

Gotcha, can't win, don't try

I'm all over that:

No matter how good you are at something, there's always about a million people better than you.

Like Daryl Strawberry?

That's right, Skip!

Darrrrryl, Darrrrrrryl

Remember this guy? He used to live next door to where I'm living now. I don't know him but it seems most of my neighbors do.

He looks like a mix among robert downy junior, billy joel, and some girl whose name I can't think of.

His name is Judd Nelson. Last thing I can think of that he did was some show with Brooke Sheilds. He played her boss.

That would have been suddenly Susan your thinking about and your right.

Here's kind of a cool story. This guy, Bill Dunlop, set sail in a 9ft sailboat from Portland. He left from the pier where the floating restaurant above is docked. He asked me to help him load his boat with food and drinks. What he had me do is take all his canned food and dip it in hot paraffin. That way nothing would spoil. He used 2 liter plastic bottles of Coke and Mountain Dew for ballast. When he finished drinking the bottle, he'd fill it with sea water and put it back. Nobody thought he had a chance in hell of making it, but he did. Later, he tried to sale that 9ft boat around the world. He went missing after making it to Austrailia. Bondi was probably to young to remember it, but it was quite a story for a while. This guy had some major cojones to even attempt it. He told me that he had his boat built so it would do barrel-rolls off the top of the waves he was expecting. He said on a 40-50 foot wave it would flip over about a dozen times.



Sailor Trying to Cross Atlantic in Small Boat










After a sendoff under grey skies, Bill Dunlop spent his first day at sea today in a nine-foot sailboat, heading across the Atlantic.

He is seeking a record for the smallest boat used in a solo Atlantic crossing.

The Wind's Will left a Portland Harbor marina Sunday as 20 large and small vessels tooted horns in salute.

Mr. Dunlop, 40 years old, of Mechanic Falls, Me., said he expects to reach Falmouth, England, in eight to 12 weeks. In 1980, Mr. Dunlop crossed the ocean in a 35-foot sailboat.

His boat is filled with food, survival equipment, extra sails, rope tools and reading matter. Mr. Dunlop's sailboat has a fiber glass hull, and a $16 sextant for navigation. He has a radio, but no backup engine.

he looks like a guy I went to school with.


I didn' t know he was in anything after Breakfast Club. Oh yeah, he played a voice in the Transformers movie.


How did dipping canned food in wax prevent it from spoiling? Did it just keep the cans from rusting/corroding from the sea water?

balls of steel, man. It's great that he's only using a sextant. True craftsman, he is.

You got it.

Did he write any books about his exploits?

I read Adrift: 76 Days Lost At Sea
and love stories of people doing seemingly impossible stuff.

that would be my guess.

All the other "sailors" at the marina would always criticize him(or worse, talk behind his back) after he got thru explaining some technique or idea he was going to use on his solo cruise. They didn't think he could find England by just using "dead reckoning". They were wrong, he knew more about sailing then all the rest of them put together.

I can relate to him. I feel like I know more about boobs then all the rest of the guys here.

The proof is in the pudding.

All those marines are so cocky and close minded

They weren't marines, they were just guys that had enough money to put a boat in the water. Weekend sailors. They just couldn't get it that this guy knew what he was talking about. The sailors in England surely got it, they're probably still talking about it. England has a more nautical heritage than the U.S., they understand how hard it is to sail a boat the size of a bathtub across the Atlantic.

Oops I misread. I just like to take potshots at you as often as possible

Let me rephrase. Guys who hang out at the marina are so cocky and close minded.

especially if a big brown shark comes.

You're right, it's a good thing I didn't hang out there, I worked there.

GI Joe is swimmin in the water duhdah duhdah duhdahdah!

I think Bob is having a major flashback. Remember your little floating ring?

There's a funny story about that.

Actually. On second thought, it's not that funny. Nevermind.

whew was worried there for a minute !!!
