Tim Diebert Posted February 14, 2003 Report Share Posted February 14, 2003 Jeez, I don't know Joe Old Buddy......you are pretty much a celebrity in other regions.... Are you sure you won't talk down to us on this little forum? ....or maybe you are still mad at me for calling guys that ride in spandex colorful sissies? I think Frank should start up a bilge area here.....and we should invite Memphis Mike to entertain us :twisted: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fintan Murphy Posted February 14, 2003 Report Share Posted February 14, 2003 Welcome back Joe, I still browse the other forum, but regard it more as car crash entertainment at this stage. Every time I think about posting there, the content persuades me otherwise. I hope you don't find it too amicable here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Sylvester Posted February 14, 2003 Report Share Posted February 14, 2003 Yeah, what's the deal over there? A couple of years ago it was a neat place to go and read some really interesting stuff about all sorts of topics. Now it seems to have fallen to where it's not even worth the time anymore. What a shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe(Cold Spring onHudson) Posted February 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2003 I'm here, pitchers and Catchers started down in FLA. this week so spring cant be far behind. I'm catching up on some reading on this board. I like what you all have done with the place really spiffy I will be posting some questions regarding getting eBay weekender back in the water when the Hudson lets go of her ice. This year the Hudson had its worse freeze over since the 1800 when it used to freeze over enough for people to walk across, if you can imagine that. The PC is gonna need a cash infusion to get beyond her keel. I hope to eBay in the water soon enough if the economy ever picks up. Since I have been hanging out over there another thought has crossed my mind a dream so to speak that puts the PC further back on the burner. If business ever picks up again and I can get to Condon Lumber and hunt through there marine lumber mill and pick & choose stock. I have this fantasy fueled by all that I have learned in the year I have been on The WBF of someday soon building a proper Blue Water Schooner in my barn. Then trailer her the 6.2 mi down the mountain and launch her at full moon high tide into the Hudson. From the Hudson and its deep water channel sailing south past my childhood home in the Bronx then through the narrows to the Atlantic and the trade winds. What a wild dream to build something in your house that could take you to Africa. Till then I'm stuck scrapping old styrene of eBay preping her for a fresh coat of epoxy and glass Just stacked another 3/4 of wood to get me through this cold snap. I got the fireplace and woodburning stove and the pot belly wood stove in the kitchen stoked, house is cozy and smells wonderful, but man alive dose it take work must have burnt through a good 6 cords this winter so far. I'm ready for spring. Take care Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Diebert Posted February 14, 2003 Report Share Posted February 14, 2003 Sorry to hear about your cold Joe. I followed your frozen pipes saga on WBF. It was hilarious...even my wife followed the thread. Great pictures...and all that plumbing advice...then the guy at the end who was pissed at you because he offered to drive over to your place and give you a hand but you must have missed his post or something. Us west coasters have had a pretty awesome winter I would say. Yeah, what's the deal over there? A couple of years ago it was a neat place to go and read some really interesting stuff about all sorts of topics. Now it seems to have fallen to where it's not even worth the time anymore. What a shame. I love reading that forum. The range of character, intelligence and intellect is staggering! I have learned a lot about boats, people, Americans and Australians. (I am a Depressed Dingo fan...waiting for my T shirt) Russ, the boat related stuff is still the same...it is just the 'Bilge' that gets wild and really really wicked at times. And at times it is heart warming and wonderful. I don't participate much but read most everything when I have time...and am thoroughly entertained...laughing out loud stuff. Like Rex's sunburned head!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe(Cold Spring onHudson) Posted February 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2003 Rex Sunburned head ROTFLOL. That's what that place should have more of Dingo, Rex, My Pipes and Dollhouses, less War and trolls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Sylvester Posted February 14, 2003 Report Share Posted February 14, 2003 I miss the days of marshmallows, the committee, gronicles and of course Mr. Cleek. That was when I was fascinated at how eloqent some of the folks were. I would proofread a post three or four times before submitting.

Guest Posted February 17, 2003 Report Share Posted February 17, 2003 Oh that place is not that bad. Its just a neighborhood. And like a neighborhood, it has a few rift rafts that get rowdy in the evenings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Diebert Posted February 17, 2003 Report Share Posted February 17, 2003 Are you a Weekender guy Oyster? I agree. I was just thinking that very thing just this afternoon. Its just a neighborhood The WBF Bilge is really just a perfect neighborhood. Good and bad, drunk and sober, right and left. I really enjoy that neighborhood. Even my wife reads any threads I turn her on to. I loved Rex's rant today...the wild poetry. I think he had too many Guiness with his afternoon Rugby game....

Guest Posted February 17, 2003 Report Share Posted February 17, 2003 Is Rex a hoot or what? He is just coming into his own. What a cool headed guy. He lives on the most off the wall place, though. I have a really close friend in Greenville that built one, but I don't own one. In our area the Spritsail was the boat of choice. The B&B is as close to it as it comes in a plans boat. I have been threatening, but we do so much fishing , the garvey fits my cup of tea. I keep threatening, but I am waiting for Capt. Sand to finish his, but I maybe in a wheel chair by then. I will drag my moaning chair to his joint this late summer if plans go as planned. This last two weeks have found me a little unsettled to the summer's plans. I would love to do a get together witht a bunch in the Georgia-S.C. area with the Southestern Elbow Benders group, but that is up in the air for now. I looked at Joe;s boat as an easy way to go boatiing quickly, instead of building at one point, but it didn't work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johannah Posted February 17, 2003 Report Share Posted February 17, 2003 Is that THE oyster?? Come over to our simpler backyard to play? Wow, welcome, don't be a stranger etc. Sharpie and other small boat lovers salute you! This is a goofy but well behaved bunch, except, of course Capt. Typist/Varnish who gets kidded a lot! 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 17, 2003 Report Share Posted February 17, 2003 Ain't no one else but the one, Jo. I will let you in on some inside infomation. One does not sand as much as Capt. Neverperfect does, when one sands himself. He has a well trained assistant. :wink: Behind every man there is a really good woman. Right?
