Well, it looks like this guy felt the best way out of the bad economy was to trash a boat and pollute the Puget Sound. I'd say his days of working for the feds may be nearing an end.

Note to self: If you sink your own boat do not drill a hole in the bottom...


We cannot direct the winds but we can adjust our sails.

Crime of passion!

My GF and I have a sworn oath to stop each other should the urge overcome. We have never even gotten close as we love the catalina, but we recognize the day could come.

My cousin Mike,a sheriff in north Alabama, tells the story of a an old man who called the law to come out to his home, as he could hear that someone was on his property and was stealing lumber (trees) or such from the sound of it, and wanted them to look into it. Mike found some men on the back property coming out a logging road with a truck, trailer with a backhoe claiming it was their Grandfathers property and they weren't doin nothin. None of the laws business anyho.

Mike found an engine block on the trailer and a large fresh hole in on the grounds. After running the numbers on the block they determined the block was from a truck the grandson owned and was reported as stolen.

Evidently he had not been happy with his truck payments, had buried his truck, but tried to keep the engine block. Now the grandson had to dig up his truck, put it back together and keep making the payments!

So I think they should let him keep his job, give him his boat back and make him continue his payments, renovations and repairs.
