They've been through two renewals and have two gorgeous kids. They still joke about the next renewal coming up... or do they? Wish I'd thought of that - seems to be working out well for them.

After watching Lionel Messi play, I realize I need to sail harder.

Also, I have a $300 Cycle Ops for mounting my hybrid bike on its rear axle to elevate it off the floor for that indoor workout that you always wanted! No use yet.
Marriage? I have been addicted to same woman for 25 years, girlfriend and wife.

Posts: 342 Indianapolis, IN - Midwest USA... | Just remember 62% of all mariages end up in divorce. And the other 38% end in DEATH! I bought a hot tub and built a sunroom around it. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Now, it hardly gets used; it leaks, wastes electricity and requires cleaning and expensive chemicals. To remove it, I'd either have to cut it up or take out a wall.

Posts: 110 Northern California, USA | Rich, I only sail sober when I have to, as in Too broke to buy alcohol vs go sailing!!!! Can you find me a Professional type that isn't afraid to PitchPole a Cat, I don't do it as much as I used to, but you never can tell, I always get a little excited when it happens, that glance at sail trim and then, the "How the hell did I get in the water" thought????? If you can find me one sign me up, I want one, hell, I'll take two if they promise to get along. I can cook too!!!!! P.M. Me with address' and phone numbers, we're close enough that if CalTrans insists on chains over Buckhorn Summit I can still get over the hill to meet them!!!! You sail a Cat When are you sober? Btw 6 years 4 boats 3 dogs 3 moves and 1 cat. I'll keep an eye out for the humboldt hippy chick for ya, but I suggest going for the professional Type makes bieng unemployed much nicer. I haven't worked in 6 years but i got a new f-250, new tiger, and new house in the last 3 years.

Posts: 12,310 South Carolina | Jake, what didn't you like about the RC helo? I've always wanted to get one.
There is an awesome RC airplane/glider that is RTF, styrofoam and cheap. Like around $80. I need to go get another one, there was so much glue and wooden splints in my first one it wouldn't fly hardly at all anymore. I had some severe learning problems, the elevator controls were backwards from the gas RC plane I had as a youth. I was really starting to get good with it and although I had a known issue with the electronics causing a short and sudden altitude change, I was doing touch and goes from my driveway, over the fence, and in my backyard. Naturally while over the fence, it dropped suddenly and just barely caught the fence before I could react. The dance of the death chicken ensued as it flailed helplessly on the ground.
