He didn't share with Quinner?

That was me.

Seems there's a little editing going on with Hollywood's picture, but I'm glad Skicat caught it.

Great shot of the dock start!!!

Look below. Think I got it

Some of you may remember that right after my GPS speed run I was having problems with jerky acceleration and hesitation. I took it out on Sunday for the first time since Reid's gathering and found 2 possible culprits. There is something in my fuel filter about the size of a pea, and I had a loose wire cap on the distributor. Boat ran great all day and my stepson learned to kneeboard! No more tubing

carma coming from the neighbor lady up the road?

Let's hear that one.

I can answer that one in more detail: Our neighborhood watchdog, a fiesty 70yr old lady, who's normally a very dear friend, lives just 5 doors down further into the cove. She has always had a problem with boats coming into or down the cove at speed, esp louder ones, regardless of whether or not they infringe upon the 150' no-wake reg's. So just imagine us lining up 5-6 footers behind Eddie's BFN from the very head of the cove and pulling right by her house numerous times, and then there's my loud Mustang circling around, Keegan's equally loud red baron, and whatever else we were having fun with. Well she cruises by mid afternoon on her poontoon (sic) boat and proceeds to shriek directly at our dock with a ear-bleeding pitch,....."stay...out...of...the...cove!!" So we did,.....after Keegan innocently and unknowingly wrapped up.

Several days later I had to pull over on our narrow road so she could pass by, and she doesn't even acknowledge my presence. Once or twice a year maybe, we have something going on. She'll get over it.   

Reid....Boaty and Skipper still love you, even if the neighbor doesn't!.........lol

Reid,is your neighbor Mrs Kravitz?


Abner,Abner That Pinkham boy has all his hooligan friends over again!

Reid, when we came to visit you in the fall of '08, you stopped to talk to 2 older ladies in the road that were friendly and somehow knew we were having lobster for supper that night. If that was the same lady, next time I'd say you need to buy her off up front with a care package from up north.

Then maybe you got to have Hollywood deliver them so he can sweet talk her.

I'm afraid you guys missed my point above. It would take Melissa, Shannon or Dana to do the sweet-talking in this case, unless that's what Hollywood was trying to say.

Reid, I heard ya, I just thought it more appropriate to sacrifice Hollywood. I hope she doesn't read this thread or she's never going to acknowledge you. Maybe a little editing is in order?
