SIGNS OF 'SPRING' AT PARKSIDE TODAY

[aaronbocknek]

OK April 15th . BTW I am head to the boat nice day for a ride .

you have no idea how difficult it is to be stuck in a metal tube at 35,000 feet today. believe me, if i were still on medical leave paul, you know where i would be. anyway, going to sign off for now, grab some chow then get ready to greet the fun filled families heading to orlando. <<yippie, carry on's galore, baby strollers, lap children, families not seated together, etc, etc, etc,....>> (and no, it's NOT my favorite trip)

Hey Paul, did the broker call you back yet?

[Allen Sr]

good grief fellas.... give a guy a break i'm sitting in the crew room at national airport between trips. heading to orlando and back at 1515. before ENTERPRISE can leave the slip though, the fwd bilge pump will need to be replaced and the canvas put back on. right now she has her winter fast back cover on. so give me some time.

Why does the forward bilge have to be replaced to leave the dock? Is it taking on water?

Hey Paul, did the broker call you back yet?

Yes with counter offer ( and a lot of hog wash ), But I am holding my ground on my offer for now .

Well I hope they don't play around to long cause I want to get that check to you for those diesels before my wife changes her mind about the deal.

They have the ball so ............


If they don't come around I will start cutting

Most boats that sink do so in their slip Aaron! A non-functional bilge pump on the TBOY boat? Heresy!

And yes, you should really think about dewinterizing. I plan to do so either this or next weekend, cause you know, I need to move to Parkside in three weeks. I do have an engine room heater to guard against extreme cold snaps. Oh, and my canvas is already up!

[gettaway]

Transom door 'accessorized' very nicely! Its getting me my diesels hopefully!

[aaronbocknek]

hey guys, sorry for the delay in getting back. after my orlando turn on sunday, i was sent out on the afternoon (1 3 5 7 ) dc nyc shuttle monday. will be placing my order for new bilge hose and new pump in the next few days, after the flight attendant ratification bonus is deposited in my account. i'd rather have the pump working before leaving the dock. after physio tomorrow, weds, i'll hopefully head to the boat and get some preliminary things taken care of before dewinterizing fully. hopefully they will turn the water back on before the end of the month. she really needs a bath. next up is to take my canvas to my canvas man and have him do some restitching, washing the top and waterproofing it. then it will be time to get the enclosure up.

[Allen Sr]

OK Paul...........you have had ALL week to get that broker to accept your deal for the owner...... ...... so when can I expect to come down and get MY diesels?
