Pat, I'm honored! I was lab tested recently and found to contain less than four per cent engineer. So the fact I can influence anyone on anything technical really turns my prop. Inducing even low tech's a thrill. While some laughed at my choice, others politely said nothing in stunned...

That sure was a big bunch o' fun with all you C-Folks last weekend, and I want to thank everyone for coming. Gosh, we had Brats from four or five states, and British Columbia. I really enjoyed seeing longtime pals again and making fast friends with new people and learning about their boats. We...

C-Gypsy, that's great you can make it. And Nordic Guy, do we know you? I think we'll need to vote on that one. :dog

I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend, and Mike, thanks for the heads up regarding shore power. I guess I'll need to leave my 50" TV and other power draining toys at home. The weather here last week was enviable even for August, but this week will be cooler with highs in...

Marine archeology: Carbon dating confirms unburied 30 year old registration tabs look virtually new.

Mark, it'll be good to see you and factory folks at Friday. Are you planning to cruise over in the shop vessel you built in 2017? Regardless, I'll second what Starcraft Tom wrote, and add that you don't even need to raffle a new Tomcat. Unless you want to. But Brats would probably like...

Cle, we look forward to meeting you. I think you'll have fun. And Barry, really nice to hear from you as well, and delighted you and Patti can attend this year. Are you thinking of getting back into boating, or are you fully content exploring via land yacht?

Pat, I think that's a good idea. Keeps things simple like you say. We can just mingle and visit sipping home brewed coffee or bourbon while we talk boats, breakfast or brunch. Harvey, thanks for your inspection connections! Keith, thank you for your to-do list. And Mark, gosh, I think you'll...

Harvey, count me in for overnighting Thursday--unless we get wind like we had two days ago! And I really appreciate all your energy on this, and many other Brat threads. Pat, thank you for tossing a few big cedar chunks on this modest campfire. I also believe these gigs are a lot of work, and...

This thread caught my eye as I was opening drawers and poking about. It lost steam in the summer of 2008, but makes for interesting reflection now more than a decade later. That was a period when gas here in north Seattle hit $4.65 a gallon in places, and many believed that a foreteller of a new...

This handsome craft was also featured at last year's boat show. Built for a fellow who backed out of that deal, she was just sold to a loving, local family.

Tom, at that low price I think you should pick up a couple of those Teddy Bears. I had fun at the boat show looking at all the sparkling new boats and products. But more important than the dazzle were the Brats. Good the see the regulars, though MikeR eluded my radar and my drone didn't find...

Good lord! How cool is that? Very. That's a national magazine that features boats and people from all over America. My goodness, what a coup. Big high five to you, Harvey. And Andy, Osprey sure looks good.

My little buddy Bambina's been sold. Her new owner loves boats, the boating life, and C-Dorys. He's a very fine young man, and I couldn't have been more fortunate to find a grateful buyer who promises to keep her indoors and away from nasty stuff like rocks. Currently we're negotiating yearly...

Hey, Terry and Ann, nice to hear from you. I'm glad you can make it this year.

Hey, Harvey, thanks for the link to the seminars. I'm going to try to make a few of them. Forrest, don't let the 99 closure keep you away. I think we're finding up here that it isn't the traffic horror show we feared. At least so far. It really depends on the time of day we travel. Commuter...

You guys are right, and we're darn fortunate to have two of the best Administrators we could possibly hope for. Gosh, TyBoo Mike and Bill Da Nag have been in that role since I think October 2003. Very few events in my life have been as consistent in the last 15 years. Except maybe hair loss...

Robb, thank you for the update on your 16' search. Whatever you decide, I hope the boat works out well for you and your family. Patrick, are you going to be out here this weekend? I'd like to chat with you if you are. I can help take you here and there if transportation's a question while...

Hey, Byrdman, nice to hear from you. You're not forgotten 'round these here parts, and I hope you're doing well. Thank you for all you and the Johnsons (and Tom & Susan) did to make such killer boat show bashes in years past! The message I'm feeling is that this SBS will be comparatively...

I just read this now, but I second that. Thank you, Old Guy, for your service to our country. So many men's lives were cut short.
