angry

I'm still not sure what species Quinner is exactly, so when I say "folks" I think he safely falls out of that category.

You don't have to read all the great responses on this thread to know that the folks on this site are well-adjusted happy people. In my years on the site, having witnessed countless selfless behaviors, the free flow of information, the comaradarie, the joy of being behind or working on old boats that nobody but us cares about, the deep and lasting relationships that have been formed between people that live all over the country... Having met some of you I'd say my firsthand experience backs this up.

I am always impressed by the community on this site, and I am often advocating among my friends that internet forums such as this are the REAL social network; a place to make lasting, mutually beneficial relationships with folks none of us would have met any other way. Just amazing really.

I am guessing he is on the water by now. Hope your having a great ride! Don't be angry, just move on. Preferraby close to that v8 redline speed Joe was talking about!!!

I think Cormac McCarthy said it pretty well in "No Country for Old Men."

"All the time you spend tryin to get back what's been took from you there's more goin out the door."

Most of us here are fortunate enough that we have some control over what makes us angry and can get rid of the cause if we have the guts to.

Very well said! This was taught to me long ago, but I didn't understand it then. My path to the a-fore mentioned place has been a taxing trek.

It's so nice to see the other side...

The good news is that it only started pouring rain once I was 1/2 way around the block walking the dog just now. The dog loves it and I dont mind the rain. Hell I was born wet.
I had an audio guy come down to the boat and adjust my amp so the tunes should sound much better now without fear of blowing up the speakers.
My schedule is packed the next few weeks and this week is nuts. Thursday is a 4 am out the door 15 hour day and Friday is gonna be a 12 hour ordeal with East Coast big money types.
But today I may have the time to go for a spin. In fact if its not pouring I shall make a point of it. i shall splash the boat and blast the 6 miles to Pelican Pier where I shall enjoy a cold Shock Top draft and watch sports center. I may just go alone.
Happy.

I agree with Joe, when I hear a 4bbl open its secondaries I get happy fast.

I usually take my anger (and I have a fair amount of it) out at the gym.

I do agree with the rest who stated to let the boat get handle it for you.

I don't believe I've ever been angry while out on the boat.........well at least angry for very long.

had to agree with the first comment & laugh out loud at the 2nd.....

hard to be angry on here...just great friends...

Life is too short to be angry and if you are on this site you likely have access to a great boat, that makes you luckier than 99.7 percent of the world... so go for a boat ride. I have never been angry when bouncing a v8 off its red line. When I floor mine at about 6k I have never been less than down right giddy.

Chris I need a driver man.... you the dude with the jet.. get your white arse down here and give me a pull!
