Hi Folks,

A sad tale for sure. The boaters were partying dockside, tipping quite a few, when someone noticed a body face down in the water. After hauling the person out of the water and determinibg that he was in fact with the angels, someone asked if anyone knew some words to speak over the guy. They looked at each other and when no one offered to say a prayer a slightly tipsy old feller allowed that he wasn't much for prayer but he did live behind a church and heard them in prayer so often that he'd speak what he heard. All accepted his generous offer and the elder began at the top of his lungs.

Bee--one, Eye--seventeen, N--twenty two, Go--fourteen, Oh--nine.

Val,

That story reminds me of Dock C, the houseboat party dock at our marina.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Paul, you ARE on the Dark Side (with your stinkpot)...

What you're longing for is the light! <img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle>

Hi Dave,

I'm refering to Doug and Ruth's comment when they got back into sailing. Something like "return to the dark side".

I agree, it is a search for the light, truth, meaning, apple pie, "get change back from your dollar", etc.

While in college I was talking to my room mate Peitro Martinelli. Peitro was born in Italy, but grew up in Santa Cruz, CA. We were making some beer and talking about our families when he told me a story about his brother Berto. At the time I had only talked to Berto on the phone, and mostly heard Peitro talk (shout) with him and their mother. Mrs. Martinelli, never learned English and was about as deaf as a post. Pietro told me how one day Berto was walking at the Santa Cruz board walk and looking down at a large seal that was swimming under the walk. I haven't been there in a while, but at the time the board walk had fairly wide gaps between the boards and you could see quite well. Berto was captivated by the sight and just walked oblivious to all. When he reached the end of the board walk he had been so taken by the seals that he didn't realize where he was and lost his ballance and fell in the water.
I was just schocked at this tail and Pietro told me the moral of his brothers walk was "when your out of slits your out of pier".

The beer was excellent by the way.

Matt/Brigitte,

Your reference to making beer strikes a familiar cord. I just dismanteled my brewery(unused for some time and needing space)and traded in two hundred fifty prime tall neck bottles. Still have several hundred Grolsch spring cap leakers, perhaps the energy will return once again and I'll not have to go looking for bottles.
Lordy, will the frost ever leave the soil?

I haven't fermented anything in a while, but am thinking of starting a batch of mead. I use to work for a small family winery, EJ gallo, you might have heard of them, where I would take my wines for analysis so I knew what was going on. I think I'd like to get a small lab set up at home when the finances allow <img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

Ernest and Julio Gallo ,"a small family winery"??? Sure and the QE2 is a rowboat.

Matt I have a picture of an incredible boat that I'd like to exhibit here but I haven't posted any pictures since the technique changed. I have the Shutterfly account but never entered any photos there as yet. Once the pic is posted there then what?

Okay guys,

Here's one.

What will you NEVER find in a feminist bookstore?

A humor section!<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

How many feminists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

36, 1 to screw in the lightbulb and 35 to debate the sexual implications!<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

I'm dead meat now.

Hi Val,

I submitted a Tech Tip several months ago on how to post photos, but it has been ignored. In the mean time, Don Lucier posted a nice set of instructions in the Test section ... here is the link:

http://www.catalina25-250.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2623

Here is part of my Tech Tip instructions ... either these or Don's instructions should help you get that last step:

After you have stored a photo(s) on Shutterfly, click once on the thumbnail of the photo so you will have the large photo on your screen, not the thumbnail version. Then simply right-click your mouse on the photo you want to post on the Forum. A menu will appear ... click on the last item, "properties." A new page will appear, and about halfway down the page you'll see the URL address (it begins with "http"). Highlight and copy the URL address ... now you are ready to paste it into your Forum message.

When you compose a message on the Forum you'll see some icons in the "format" line. Click on the 7th icon ... it is a box with what looks like a photograph of a mountain in it. When you click on it, you will insert the following into your message:

{img}{/img} *pretend the {=[

Then, put your cursor between the middle brackets and paste the URL address of your Shutterfly photo between them ... it will look something like this:

{img}http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b2d907b3127cce9f7e15d037210{/img}

That’s all there is to it. When you preview or post your message, you’ll see a photo in place of the image brackets and the URL address.

'Hope that helps ... if you have any questions, please let me know!

Val,
I'd like to show you some photos of the Livingston winery, where I worked, but cameras were not allowed. I did get some good views of the Sierra Nevada. From the tank tops you could see into Yosemite Valley. This was only an early morning view and probable the best thing about grave yard shift. It has been about 15 years since I worked there, it was quite an experience.

Thanks Matt...I saw Don's post after I questioned you. Seems awfully complicated compared to the old way...probably will click once I've been through it.

Paul....you may just luck out after those two jokes since it's likely that the fems probably are too busy shopping to be reading here.
