hi tom, better for you and the crook that the police got him rather than you and your dog! could you imagine the mess you'd be stuck with cleaning up all of his blood, as well as patching the 6 or 7 bullet holes? glad a positive outcome occurred pat

hello dd, if one hears or reads an interesting article, believes it to be true and subsequently notify their friends of possible harm, (brats), and later discover the article was not correct, i say no harm done. your post certainly gave us something to think about. while the technology might...

as a motor-home owner i love the idea of having both tow vehicle and boat but would agree with dr. bob concerning top heavy as well as over all height exceeding safety limits. my motor-home towing capacity would not qualify for this setup. if mpg were a concern then no one would purchase a motor...

hello dr. capt. bob, glad to hear you are doing well! the will to live, coupled with a competent surgeon and a heart in better than expected condition equals very good success. now then, in a prior post i recommended a book deal, so with that in mind, when will you start and just how much am i...

generally, when the right of way thing just isn't working., i fire several rounds over the opposing vessel's bow to get their attention. this practice seems to work best for difficult captains! pat

hello boris, as jim and others will tell you, giving way when you clearly have right of way, when the other vessel is not responding correctly to your right of way, "is the law". it's each captain's responsible to do all that is possible to avoid collision and is regarded as the 3rd law. if...

hello tivo, different area sport different sayings, while the names may change the meanings are the same. here's one i learned many years ago. here lies the body of michael o'dey who died maintaining his right away, he was right, dead right, as he sail along but just as dead, as if he was...

hello tug, this works both ways! it didn't occur to me to grease the windlass, it is now on my list. best regards pat

the over taking of a vessel should be a mutual decision. that is, i'll give you one whistle, the vessel being over taken may respond with roger, one whistle or negative, danger or give me two whistle. easy way to remember what whistles mean, is as follows. 1. one whistle, when at the dock...

with my c-dory i never stored the anchor line in the anchor locker to begin with. i actually sealed the opening so that spiders and whatever else couldn't gain entrance. i coiled the line and secured it to the bow rail using a simple dock line holder attached to the rail. on my current boat i do...

just tuned in and read the awesome news. congrats to dr. bob, his spouse and his surgeon! now then, dr. bob, just so you don't get to comfortable resting in bed, looking at movie star type nurses, eating gourmet hospital food, and sipping on the finest of imported wines, i have several...

linda and i have a covered slip, 16' x 40' located on the ohio river, actually just off of the ohio river. it's all about convenience for us! rain or sunshine, always a good time. this past weekend was on the cooler side with rain, we took a 3 hour cruise in the rain and it was perfect. got back...

another comfortable day in nashville tn. very cool at 96 degrees! linda and i met my dad, the byrdman and my uncle mike, for dinner at the cherokee marina and steak house. the food was excellent, however, my dad, the byrdman forgot to mention, the restaurant doesn't serve alcohol! what was he...

byrdman, keep us in the loop regarding dinner friday early evening. linda and i drove over the 109 bridge today, so we know where the cherokee marina is or where it probably is. any time is good but a heads up on time would be great. we are scheduled to work out at urban active in madison...

good morning bob, hope you are having a better day today. i'm not a religious person but rather a spiritual person. i believe in balance, quality over longevity, right over wrong. my dear friend, berny miller, lawyer and sr. vp, mentor, father figure of twenty years, and simply my best friend...

hey there dr. bob, sorry to hear about your situation. you know the miracles that occur daily in the surgery room, i'm sure there's one that has your name written on it! by now you probably could use a laugh, so here goes, linda and i are traveling to nashville tn. tomorrow, we're taking our...

how could this be a national c-brat gathering when we ohio c-brats never received our invitation? had we been included, we would have supplied all the beer, wine and food! so, i think you should fire your head administrator and replace him with someone dependable. as you can see this mistake has...

hello pat, i know it's to late, but what if you had made the steps flat as opposed to up-right. it would have given you a wide step tread, and perhaps greater stability. i think the noodle attachment, at best is temporary and at worst represents a hazard with slippage. please don't kill the...

great photo, love the enthusiasm, makes me want to sell the farm and buy, yet another boat. please someone, hold me back! pat

HI DON, great idea on raising the boat to remove the bunk! well, i didn't use ss staples although i probably should have. i figure the capet will wear out before the staples will rust through, and the whole process will be repeated. the purpose of posting this replacement was to show others that...
