    So you have taken up spelunking.

    My computer only allows me to read this one, but only if it is in a good mood.

    Saw it for .99L in Victoria the other day. $1.10L here. I still whimper a little when I remember filling up my TR4A for $5.00.

    I too am borderline diabetic. The Doc has me checking in every three months. Trying to cut down on rich food and booze but it was Christmas and who can resist Lobster Newburg and Absinthe martinis. On new regime as of today. One ship I worked on was very small and the upper passenger deck surrounded the bridge with a clear view in on all sides. The captain was diabetic and had to have his shots. One day he started to take his shot and then got on a rant about something and wound up pacing the bridge ( three paces each way...I said it was small) waving the needle in the air. A passenger saw him and went nuts trying to keep him in sight thinking it was something like heroin. I noticed this and reached back and got my lunch in its brown paper bag. I scrunched up the top and pretended to drink from it. The passenger just about had a heart attack, the captain on drugs and the helmsman drinking!!!!

    That is truly frightening. I think I used to date you.

    Hey Rick. I would not mind sharing my body with you. I would happily donate 50 pounds or so and throw in a bonus of some hair.

    Retired? That's what you think. Now you are about to find out what busy really is. My wife nearly gave me a heart attack when I announced I was retiring. She said "If you are retiring then so am I" There went my peace and quiet, also gas money.

    Tried to find my good side but they tell me I don't have one.

    Can't find any pictures of me. If I did I don't know how to post them. If I posted I would give people nightmares. Don't want to do that.

    When I worked I worked 5 day shifts/5 afternoon shifts and 5 off so wound up working most hollidays.

    Grew up on the waterfront out in the sticks. Been involved in boats for work and mostly pleasure all my life. I have had power boats and sailboats. I love being out on the water. The nick names "KB" "Mr B" and "Sarge" have sort of followed me so I wanted something different for this site and I chose "sailor". Perhaps not the best choice since I now get big burly bikers saying "Hi sailor";) I love sailing and to me biking is as close as you can get to that feeling on land.

    About 40 years ago a dealer near me offered WLA's for sale. $500.00 in the crate or &700.00 assembled and road ready. I tried one out but did not buy it. That was a lot of money for me at that time.

    Trust the guys on the wet coast. Sheepskin works. I have a natural sheepskin which is comfortable, cooler in summer, warmer in winter and due to the natural lanolin sheds water. I have ridden through thundering rainstorms and hail and all I had to do at the end was shake the sheepskin out.

    Yep, Burger King is moving to Canada but don't worry, we won't make you say "eh" after every sentence. That is an eastern thing and never caught on out here in the more civilized west. In fact I am not sure that those easterners can even find the west.

    Thank goodness SWMBO does not read this site. If she started keeping a score card on me I hate to think what would happen. "I didn't do it, it wasn't me and I promise I won't do it again!"

    Real sorry to hear that. Big hugs all round.

    While working for the airlines I would frequently have some guy say "I'll have your job." I would reply "You could not handle my job." When he asked why not I would tell him "Because I have to deal with too many As.....s and I don't think you could handle it." He would stand there trying to figure out if I had just called him an A.....e or not. I would get guys telling me "I pay your wages." I would say "So you are the cheapskate...it is about time I got a raise, just look at the people I have to deal with."

    "Why don't you have a Harley?" "Because I would rather ride it than push it." Where is the seat belt?
  22. Sailor
    That is just a copy of a Harley. Yea, except it has 4 cylinders instead of two ( they usually go around the bike counting them at this point) It is water cooled instead of air cooled. I usually have to point out the rad. It has shaft drive, they never noticed, and it makes a lot more power. But other than that you are right, it has two wheels, handlebars and a seat just like a harley.

    While working on the ferry I had a guy ask how high above sea level we were. He guessed 600 ft while his friend said only 300 ft. I looked out the window and told them it was about 50 ft. When we were departing the mainland a woman came up to me and we had the following conversation. Her..."How long is it?" Me..."Isn't that a rather personal question?" Her, turning red...."No, I meant how long does it take" Me...."Well now that all depends" Her...Turning even redder...."No, no, I meant how long does it take to get to the next island?" Me ..."Oh well, that is only about 45 minutes" A couple came up to me as we were leaving the mainland and asked how long it takes to get to Galiano island. I told them about 45 minutes. She asked why it took so long. I explained about time/speed/distance. She informed me it was not possible as it was only 1/4 inch on the map, holding up a gas station road map.

    First time I have ever seen "Harley"and "Lucky" in the same sentence.
