Man, I guess I don't take this site as seriously as all of you guys do. I'm just having fun and trying to make helpful suggestions. So maybe I had a few stupid posts, but they are no worse than half of the posts that I have read on various threads here. You guys bash each other and those that ask for help more than any other forum I've ever seen! Out of the replies I have read on variuos threads, it seems like half of you genuinly take the time to be helpful and the rest of you guys just wait for the opportunity to slam someone. Everyone should lighten up a little and be more helpful. As an MC owner, I feel that I have just as much a right to be here as any of you guys! I hope you can all take a valium and chill.

Here I posted this on another thread, THought I would give you the pleasue of bringing it here:


What the hell? you come in here everything is Supra this Supra that. Well I damn tired of it. I come in here because we know about eachothers boats and how to fix them. We all share a common intrest and it dam sure aint Supra. I'm sure they have a site, go fuss at them for a while.

ok, as a relative newbie to this site I'll speak up here... When it comes to asking questions and getting help, this site is great! I've tried to read all of the posts I could before I've asked questions and I can't say where I've seen any bashing when a question regarding a TRUE problem was asked. On the other hand, if you ask for it, you're gonna get it.... (don't be that guy). After all it is a MC site and always will be.

I am however learning what trolls smell like and what they use for bait!

I'm not sure where it will all fit. First we drive 1.5 hrs to Bakersfield, unload the truck that we just loaded, put the camper on, load the camper with all the crap I baught, hitch the boat up and off we go to the Sacramento Wallmart parking lot where we sleep, then up before 7am and drive to McAurther/Burney Lake. Phew, I let the frustration out from all the prep work! I feel better now.

We are headed for Osoyoos tomorrow, which is a little border town near us. 5 or 6 families with tournament boats, doing a little wakeboarding and sky skiing.

So close to the border, that the boat is in the US and the skier is in Canada.

Everyone have fun

Yeah don't pee in the street. When I was there for the Super Bowl/Mardi Gras in 02' they were arresting people right and left for that. The bars/resteraunts will charge you like $10 to use the bathroom if you don't pay the cover/aren't eating. It's a conspiracy. Also watch out for the little gypsie girls who want to tell you your fortune for $20.

You know what I will bit once.....

JJ you came on the board posting like crazy, adding no real value to the discussion. The threads you started made you sound like an pompous jerk or you repeated open threads. You replied to long term members of this board who we all know and like with terms like "retard".

Quite honestly I am amazed that you didn't get flamed harder than you did. I find it hard to believe that other forums would not react the same way to you adding nothing to every post in their site. This board has a wealth of info already posted and a bunch of good folks that can answer pretty much any question you may have. I have been on the board for a while and you are the VERY first person I have seen folks really dislike from the start. Research your questions, feel free to bump threads that are already started if you have a sincere interest or can shed light on the topic. What you will find out is you really know much less about your boat then the collective group....

Lake of the Ozarks huh....thats only a few hours from me.

Me, I woke up this morning and took two clients out on the boat...we wakesurfed for the first time. Ran out of gas, got gas, surfed a little more.

I finally made it into work, this evening will go to dinner, then more boating/wakeboarding/surfing in the am. Party Saturday night, then on the lake again all day Sunday.

It wont suck.

Had the boat 2 1/2 months, 120 hours on it already. That is not a bad thing.

Clients that wakesurf don't sound hard to entertain. How were they at paddling the boat? ;)

I made a call, and had a pontoon drag our sorry butts in for some gas. The stupid marina is only open for a few hours a day, and not every day (its a small private lake)...so running low on gas happens.

They had never wakesurfed before, and either had I. The local dealer let me borrow the board. I told them that they are not getting it back, my dock is now the official demo location on the lake:)

yea, golf is for wankers, if my clients dont want to go out on the boat then I will take them drinking. If they dont drink or want to go out on the boat then I dont want them as clients:) Life is too short, plus....I can never bring my kids on the golf course. My 3 year old wakes up and goes out with us at 6:30 to ride when my clients come out.

Its a good way to go. The way I look at it, baseball and football tickets would cost me 20grand a year, I can get a new boat every year for that kind of scratch and you get alot more personal time on the boat.

I highly recommend it.

My accountant still says I cant deduct it....I dont like him.
