Some of my in-laws was in that movie. They needed people so they just ask for volunteers from camp. Didn't pay em anything though.

 

Got the 66 sharpened up after hitting a banding cable the other day so I got ta go get a jag of wood. Weather said that we are to get 10 to 20 inches in the next 24 hours starting at noon today. So I will check in later

Question? As a SUPPORTER to FTE why the block?

 

Its just code, nothing personal, and it doesn't know how to differentiat member type. If its just a link to cheap smokes why not just post it?

 

Hi Ken,

That is a fair question and one that Placermike asked me yesterday in a PM.
Here is what I said to him.

"I was not sure about posting a link in the forums. Did not want to brake any rules...So far only one hit....I have a cut and past ready for any PM's I may get..."


Thanks for you time.

J R

 

I got the PM, JR, thanks. And you are a 25-poster now, party time.

May as well post the smokes link here too if you want

 

Man it's snowing like crazy here. looking ta get close ta two feet in the next 24 hours. With 40 knot winds. How many miles per hour is that? Sure hard ta stay on line with DSL when ya can't even see the dish out the window.

 

Like I tell my sister "That's whatcha' moved to Alaska for right?" Have fun bucking trees in the blizzard. I decided to procrastinate again and just look at the logs from the deck. In the sun. 50F degrees. Mild warm breeze. Cold Miller in the fridge.

A knot is sailor-speak for nautical mile.

40 Knots x 1.15=46mph

"A knot is exactly equal to 1/60th of a degree of latitude. A 1/60th of a degree of latitude is known as a minute of latitude. Therefore a knot is equal to one minute of distance. There are 90 degrees from the equator to the pole. Therefore a knot is 1/5,400th the distance from the equator to the pole. This number is found by multiplying 90 (degrees from equator to pole) × 60 (number of minutes in a degree of latitude).

At sea, one's position is always based on degrees, minutes and seconds, so therefore how fast you traverse the ocean is based on "minutes" traveled per unit time (hour); hence, the nautical mile per hour or knot. In centuries past, mariners determined the speed of their ships using a knotted "log line." The buoyant line was let out freely as the ship sailed along, and then the number of knots let out during a given time gave the shipmaster a measure of his vessel's speed."

Ho-ho-ho.
That's prolly more than you wanted to know.
(And a bottle of rum)

 

Well after a few years commercial fishing I knew that already. But was In that place in yer mined that has ta be jolted with a few frosty's. Thanks for the refresher course. No wonder they won't give me a 6 pack licence. HAAA

 

"Frosty" it is,



Cheers!

 

I thought a 6 pack licence allowed ya ta take frosty's on the boat.

 

It doesn't?


A master chief diver pal finished up his license requirements just as he was retiring on Oahu. Took his 6-pack to Matson Shipping and is making the BIG money now. Knowing him, he's having Love-Boat parties while hauling cargo. Woot!

 

Ya I can get mine as I have the time in. Just as easy ta tell the folks that want ta Charter that I am not licenced and that I will take em out. If they make it worth my while. My Atoerny said that is leagal. So come on up and lets catch some fish. Sorry for the spelling but with this snow storm my Google spell check ain't working.

 

Thanks for the offer, if i weren't a stick in the mud homebody I'd take ya' up on that.

Google spell check isn't working because of a snow storm? Are you trying out a New Guy trick on me, like go find me an A.S.H. receiver, or something?

 

The site is fun, and can become addictive. Seems like only yesterday, I was 'New'... Now I have been 'aged' to a senior...lol

Thanks for helping the chapter be more active JR
