Something to Think About!

OTOH, you do have the sweaty, sticky, crotch-rotting summers to cope with! Oh, wait, that's why you were HERE. Here there is no such thing as the "boating season" either - just the Seattle Rain Festival, January 1 to December 31...What we have decided we will do when we retire (in 2013, unless we figure a way to swing it sooner) is spend half the year in Birch Bay, half the year on the boat and half the year in Tucson...screw the math that says otherwise!

it's still summer in the Tropical Tip of Texas, and there is no such thing as "the boating season." 8) Perhaps this is why the southern contingent here is so happy freakin' go lucky all the time? :lol:

Best wishes,

Aha, Pat, you are now scheming about retirement. That is the first step, my friend. Tucson is nice (we spent some time there early in our winter wanderings), but they are lacking a bit in big water. Your area is particularly beautiful... while you may not have the "crotch rotting" warmth, you have to deal with the "private part rusting"... might I suggest the notorious bleaching?

Dealing with the math after retirement can be like dealing with the time, or at least the time-piece. "Oh, look at the time, it's a quarter to... who cares." :lol:

Get the kid in college. Give him an application for financial aid (work study can be character building) and go spend his inheritance. Your half/half/half plan sounds like time well spent. And you've got just the boat to do it. :thup (How's that for tying into this thread? :wink: )

Best wishes,
Jim

PS - We're heading to the beach this morning. 8)

New Mexico has no water, little culture, and is only fit for former C-Dory owners. Come down here, my young nephew and you can be in or on the water 365 days a year. When you need a rain fix, then go up to Birch Bay. We had 3/10 of an inch last week and it was the first rain in 146 days. But the Pacific beckons and Catalina's less than 60 miles away and at night you can hear the pitter patter of little alien feet hightailing it North.... Our other pastime is watching the San Diego City Attorney try to keep at least one foot out of his mouth.

Pat, just get some of that new life insurance like I did!

They give you the money NOW :thup and when you die, the kids have to pay it back! :lol:

They tend to take good care of you, much better than before!

Warren, I'm guessing that Sneaks found a bottle of Tequila on his doorstep that was left behind by one of those..."pitter patter of little alien feet high-tailing it North", that Sneaks was talking about, thereby causing his momentary confusion.

Indeed it is. :oops: Multiply my criticisms by an order of magnitude! Arizona is where New Mexico sends it's druggies. Usually to Maracopa County where they can wear pink, live in tents and eat bologna sandwiches....

Yer right. I gotta stay out of the Tequila until after 12

1975 Bayliner...probably built back when Bayliner was a small, family owned business?

Heh...here's what the founder of Bayliner is cruising in now, according to research I did on the vessel name. Photo taken while we were in Sitka a while back...check out the helipad and Bell Jet Ranger.

YES, We saw this boat in Sequim Bay last July. It is pretty adequatly sized, and it was confirmed by a fellow C-Brat that it was the Bayliner Boss. When it came round the spit and into the bay, the water level at our dock went up 6'' and when we were being snoopy and cruised around it to get a better look. we had to stop for gas at the faaaaaaaaar end :wink The stern opens up into a drive-in boat garage for about a 20 foot tender. Just think of all the places he can't go with that, that we can with our CD22. :roll:
