I don't have a link. So fuck you all. I wanted to give a shout out to all you twisted fucks whom I have missed greatly in my absence. Lurker, the penis cozies were great. HI SOFA HI GEORGE HI TAINT HI CHOAD HI DUSTY HI MSG HI ZE HI TOJO HI FNORD.
BTW, If anyone here is a foreign national, or carries a passport from a country other than Australia, Switzerland, or Canada, I am looking for sex. If you are an incredibly intelligent science/math/engineering nerd, a socially inept dork with an ego the size of Mt. Everest, like to argue and have no ability to communicate, please apply within. Bonus points for being an eternal student at Johns Hopkins, being a financial tight ass, a drifter, and/or being a commitment-phobe. It also helps if you're 5'8 or 5'9 and enjoy spending the bulk of your time online or watching the Spanish channel. Please be either obsessed with a fast car, or don't own one at all. Rock climbing and a gym obsession a plus. Must like large quantities of beer and/or hard liquor. Anyone? Anyone?
I'm looking into colonizing myself as a state in the United Nations. It's been suggested I start in alphabetical order. I am currently seeking Albanians, or Argentinians to get my "A" list started.

Hi WCL,
Yeah I had forgotten you were a Canadian. Well I'm pretty sure you weren't from Thunder Bay. Hmm. I now have a strange opinion of Canadians, but a slight appreciation of Hockey. I thought you had disappeared for good from here???
Who the hell is Tits Matilda? Emily? Or just someone that has drifted on in in my absence. Well, welcome anyhow.

I came back a couple weeks ago and started one thread. I missed the collective intelligence of this place. Choad still hasn't said hi to me so I'm not sure how welcome I am, but he hasn't told me to fuck off either. I'm not planning a full-scale resurgence, especially since the new pENIx (yes there's another obsessive neurotic homosexual flooding the board with stupid messages) is a dyed-in-the-fur moron, but it's fun to come back once in a while and see if anyone cares for a little duff-up. It's actually a nice little coincidence that we're here on the same day. As for Canadians, whatever, they're as stupid as the rest of humanity. I'm from Vancouver. We're more laid back than the national average save Newfoundland perhaps. As for who's who and all, I don't know. Tits is probably in his early 20s, smart but underpolished, teasing with talk of "a big rack" but no photos that I know of. Sofie's around here somewhere, or she's somewhere else, peddling her dildoes perhaps (to save on batteries). Good to talk to you - if you're ever through Vancouver ask about here for my e-mail addy. I have a spare room and a handsome cock.

They're usually stuffed with goat cheese or other soft cheese, so thanks for the appetizing visual, Lechero.
Seriously, though. They're yummy, if higher in calories than I care to admit they are. I just add green onions to the mix, but I figured Taint would know the newfangled foofoo way to make them.

I haven't been there since they dropped their liquor license to beer and wine only. It's a shame, but I agree it couldn't last. High prices and spotty service. Good news is I can order Stroh 80 from Ronnies, and I can replicate that Jagerschnitzel almost perfectly (even without a deep fryer). If you can lower your standards to a bar in my neck of the woods, we'll do a Sunday run in the T before it gets sold.

Excellent. The evil quotient around here has been dropping alarmingly and we need some good old fashioned mischief making and poster abuse.

They should be free, we already paid once via tax dollars to compile the data they are made from. Actually one of the major reasons for distributing these EcDIS charts is so that all commercial vessels across the oceans use the same data. And on commercial ships Electronioc Navigation Systems have to be type approved and are required to use specific charts.
But this program of developing and distributing vector based charts should have been done 10 years ago. The current ECDIS charts were developed and mandated 12 years ago. But they futzed around for most of a decade instead of getting it done. For years we had to make do with raster scans of the paper charts. This resulted in a stunted product development for Marine charting electronics. It got so bad that just a few years ago they were selling as Electronic Charting Sysytems what essentially was a 233 mhz pentium with a few hundred mb's of ram and puny 3 or 10 gb drives paired to 15 inch lcd screens for $10 to 15 grand because they were type approved.
And in prallel to meet the needs of the recreational market companies produced non type approved vector charts and ECN systems. Which of course can't make use of the rastor chart scans or the now standard free ECDIS charts.

Well Johnny, while I respect your no doubt justified angst at the development process, I haven't been keeping up. The last time I bought charts was in the late 80s. No GPS, no radar, no cell, nothing but a marine radio, a full tank, a stocked bar and a few postage stamp portions of the Chesapeake which would would set the Narcotics, Alcohol and Fuel budget back at least $35 per. For a laminated fucking piece of paper.

Tohatsu 75*. Technically, if you're retarded, you can waterski with it.
You should see all the delicious Rock and Roll Hootchie Koo mullets tweaking around the Lake Mead Marina. I haven't been sailing/mullet hunting in a while. Maybe we'll go before it's too hot to enjoy.
*I might be wrong about this. I do know it's higher than 50, but it might not be a Tohatsu. They changed it when they replaced the mast and reupholstered it. Unfortunately, I smoked clove cigarettes and flirted with boys instead of learning about boats when I was in Sea Scouts.

I once had my hands on charts for about half the world. They filled two full pallets and required a crane to move them. We got them off ships in the mothball fleet when our educational org was given permission to scavenge anything not bolted or bolted down. Our share of the peace dividend, thanks Bill. It was an interesting job. These WWII and 60s era warships, tenders and transports were rafted out in the bay and you walked a gangplank to get between them. The only restrictions we were given was that we could take anything we wanted but it had to be loaded on deck after 4 days for the crane to come and barge it to shore. There was no shipboard power or working lifts on these ships. They were great dark dangerous caves down below. But filled with all kinds of interesting treasure and tools. It is amazing what you can acomplish in the dark with a portable aircompressor, acetyline torches and lots of block and tackle.
In many cases you could go up on the bridge and look at the duty pile of charts on the top shelf of the charttable and see the last voyages. In our raft as you flipped through these many led sequentially back to S Vietnamese harbors.

No problem. Just make sure you call me before you buy. I can probably get you an assesment of condition and engineereing that will help you negotiate and save you some dinero on yachts that age and price. Got to love a pilothouse with inside/outside steering in the first one. The aluminum construction with the lifting keel and light displacement is rather interesting. Somewhat plainly decorated. But if the hull is sound you can always hire a team of shipwrights to install more wood if that's what floats your boat. Its mechanicals are also rather low hours.
The last Alden cutter is an older uncored construction method and is much, much heavier. Done properly it is very solid and ages well. But it was before the modern age of pressure assisted molding and layups with more reliably curing resins. The equipment is also much older and the price seems high. I like Alden designs but it should be checked for stability with its shoal draft.
The 52' Endeavour is also an older build. Though it is the roomiest of all below with high sides. Center cockpits have fallen out of favor but I am still partial to the Wylies. Which might be a better yacht to look for in this design type.
Of course all the electronics are shite, some discontinued and soon to be unsupported. They have no resale value except where you can mate things like their autopilot rams or certain sensors to new systems.

Yes, indeed, those are gorgeous boats. Problem is, you can only roll them once. When I hit the lotto, this is what I want:
Notice the blue window behind the pilot's office. You take out the old tube radios and shrink the gas tank some, and you can put a jump seat in for R-T to ride in and scream. Last one I saw on Aero Trader, they were asking 1.3M...
Behind it is Bob Odegard's restoration of Cook Cleland's F2G, a Corsair with a giant 28-cylinder engine. Hubba hubba.
Oh, and yes it does follow. They're Naval aircraft, after all.

Ain't that the truth. A guy I did the engineering for pitchpoled his trimaran 175 miles short of making the SF to Japan record. He was inside at the time Luckily the extra mounting I insisted on held and he wasn't killed by flying equipment. He managed to get out the escape hatch we installed in the bottom with his bag packed liferaft and Epirp beacon for the leap into the nightime blackness of the 20 foot plus seas.

Now that is a hair-raising story. Glad it turned out well for him-one can always get a new boat (car, motorcycle, plane, whatever). Not so easy if you don't survive it!

Seeing that you can't even get Mustangs for that these days, it's an excellent price. R-2800s are pretty sweet-2000 peak hp and a beautiful sound. The hardest part is starting them...To think that right after the war, citrus farmers in CA and Fla were buying Navy aircraft just for the radial engines. They'd mount the engines and propellers on poles in their groves to move air on nights with freezing weather.
