winter/summer


It looks like winter is loosening it's grip and summer is sneaking in. It has been beautiful here on the river. Worm during the day and cool in the evenings.
We had a boatfull over the weekend. It seemed to be birthday weekend. I got to see some old friends. It was a first visit to the boat for a few of the visitors. And kids. We had three rug rats running around as only kids can do. They were actually very nice kids, well manored but kids none the less. I had to slow them down a time or two but it was fun to have them around.
well I finally did it. I tore my new neighbor a new one. I had just enough to drink, well maybe a little more then that. But anyway the evening was winding down. My guests were leaving in small groups and it was just Gerry and myself left on board. And along comes dippy-do. He came on board, sat down and started up with his inane chatter. It only took about 5 minits before I lost it and tore into him. he was aghast. He couldn't understand why anyone could not like him. He denied ever coming on the boat when I wasn't there. When I countered with " I don't think my daughter would lie to me about a thing like that" he then said the only reason he did was he thought my boat was sinking.WHAT! This numb nut would not have the first clue as to what to do if his boat was sinking much less if mine was. Well anyway He didn't get keel hauled or thrown overboard but he was asked to leave and never to return. He did.
The boat show was this weekend. I showed great restraint in not going. I already have a boat.
Not much else for now. I think I just wanted to vent. And yes I do feel better
Until next time
Life is good

Uh oh, sounds like trouble in paradise? But good for you putting him in his place. I despise people like that and it always sucks when you have someone like that come and spoil a good thing. Now, perhaps next time you're up our way, you can have a word or two with a certain neighbor in our cul de sac. Personally, I've always admired your "don't f*ck with me" attitude. A lot of people can try, but can they really back it up? Boat's looking good too, love the paint job!
