OK Mike- I can easily be classified as an Old Fart, but it ain't my birthday...

Bunch of wipper-snappers.

I'd already put in 4 1/2 yrs in the Navy, married & divorced the first wife, (after the Navy), finished my college degree, and started my first profession by July of '72.

Capt Pat, I'm not sure where she is, but I am sure where ever she is her ears just perked up, kind of like a dog picking up a scent. (I'll deny the last part of that statement in case anyone ever decides to mention.)

I was thinking that was a huge career change, but I can see similiar talent requirements. Have any pictures of your work?




Wifes birthday is 03-12-68, just a day before mine, different year, just bringing us back to the original thread.

Carl,

Only photos of my jewelry work are real photographs, nothing digital & ain't hooked
up a scanner for several years...

Nearest things to jewelry these days are like this stainless steel standoff for exhaust
hose for the starboard side on Pat Hancock's B31.

Pat,
I picked up the props today(ouch) and if everything goes right will do the sea trial on Wed or Thurs.
If the storm looks like its heading down our throat, I'll hold off.

It needs a blister job and bottom strip, I got Blake giving me an estimate. Want to sea trial it and come right back out of the water to do cockpit side panels and floor between the engines.

Owner said he wanted a loud alarm. Gave him a 10" bell that's louder than a womans mouth.

I will be glad to be rid of this 31.

BTW 8/4 birthday for me. Just turned an old man.

Leo's will inherit the earth, or at least keep it running.

Bruce,
Give John at Coastal BoatWorks (561-305-9080) he's got a new soda blasting machine that works real good, he's in Riviera Beach off Blue Heron near Mil Trail, you met him with me last year, Blake know him also. Patrick 1-26-47 for me, not quite as old as the rest of the old farts but getting there. Implants in me cost more than my 31 when it was new in 1961.

Funny, I had no idea we were so infested with Leo's!

7-29-1969 for me.

I love the fact that my boat and I were "born" the same year...

This is a fun thread!

LEO 7-25-76

What I want to know is how you guys that are more youth deficient than myself can stay on top of maintaining these boats. There is always something that needs tending and some days I just can not deal with it. Maybe it is the oppressive heat of the summer that makes say the heck with it. My hat is off to you guys.

Its an age thing Kevin.......you just make every effort to do it right the first time then just plug away a little at a time but be consistant.....

But it kinda goes like this

One day a local farmer purchased a new younger bull and put him in the field with his much older bull.

The young bull ran up to the older bull and said "Hey bud! ! ! Is that a bunch of heffers across the pasture"?

Without looking up the older bull said "Yep..........sure is"

The young bull then said "Lets run over there and screw one of them"!!!

The older bull then responded.........why don't we just walk over there and screw ALL of them.

Do we have any Sagittarius colleagues????

I ain't as good as I once was
I got a few years on me now
But there was a time back in my prime
When I could really lay it down
I ain't as good as I once was
But I'm as good once as I ever was

Tryin to keep on top of things over here, going to try to post up some progress pics this week, gutted out the v-berth last week going to start putting back together reall soon!... Proud to say that the PD just gave us a well deserved raise about 4 days ago (2nd one in 6mo's) bringing us somewhat closer to the Long Island cops... First time that officers will be working with an active contract since the 1990's...
