BandB is correct. When applying for a car loan at my CU, the loan officer asked for my gross annual income. I could only reply what my NET income was and she became all confused trying to figure my disposable income. They actually had my older Jeep loan, and my new, smaller model Jeep was...

Aforementioned alcohol and chemicals, + stupidity + speed + overloaded + tight turns + ignorance of your and your boats capabilities + + ++ any number of other factors but the most telling....STUPIDITY! Head straight for the dock and let somebody else fish em out. They're only YOUR...

Any loopers still in the Mississippi? Any issues? Upper record floods. Headed South. Take cover and hunker down.:eek::hide:

Reminds me of a story by somebody older than me about the "old days"when we stayed out as kids till the street lights came on, stood on the front seat of our dad's pick-up, rode bikes without a helmet, had rock fights, went skating on the pond down the road, climbed trees, etc etc.

"They" DID get two animals of every species on a boat and Noah thought the Unicorns were delicious. (stand back. Lightening strike imminent)

Tried looking to the Internet and elsewhere for the answer to this question but can't get the specifics. Thought somebody here may know how to calculate this answer. I see many places calculating gross income to net (after taxes) but how do you do it in reverse? :confused::confused: My wife...

Thanks, RTF, I'm not, but that's still the nicest post this week. Holiday spirit? Not here! I believe and I can hear the ringing of the bells!

C'mon peeps. Can't we all just get along?

Stand up engine rooms Some may get tired of me harping on this but I like the design of the Seapiper 35 with the 48" high engine room below the salon/galley. Just a minor crouch and big enough to store some tools and spare parts. 28" x 38" access hatches midship and stern, (front and rear...

I have a Samsung Chromebook XE 303C as my only laptop/computer. Does everything in "the cloud". When my Windows XP took a dump I knew I was going to have to learn a whole new OS, whether it was 10, Apple, or whatnot, and the guy at Best Buy talked me into going Chrome, for ease of learning...

Went to website for Active Captain. Saw a bunch of ads for different Operating Systems: Windows, Apple, linux, android, Iphone, etc. Not being all that computer savvy, just enough to know there are no Nigerian Princes trying to give me money, I did not find anything referencing my OS (google...

And Thank You to all our uniformed military services members for giving up your holidays so we can have ours. Be safe!

Ours said the same thing, in just different words. " You may be right, but you could be dead right." Those barges are kinda like the 18 wheelers. Takes forever to get them up to speed, even longer to stop, but the little "beep beeps" like to challenge the physics. I drive an SUV but I'll give...

Saw on the news last weekend, boat fire off Calif coast. Woman with a baby jumped overboard and was picked up by another boater. boat burned almost to the waterline. Anybody else got anything on this?? One of "us"?

Record snowfalls in midwest! Most, earliest snowfalls hits Chicago. So much for El Nina "mild midwest winter".

This all sounds like the Land Of the Rising Sun, who's minds are trying to pronounce the letter "r"....oh wait, is it the letter "L"? It used to be "Flied Lice, you plick." Then Christmas Story it was Fah Rah Rah Rah ...Now I don't even know. Anybody know which way is up? I think I'm trapped...

Did this one work?

$150 a month in 68? You musta been E-4 over 4 or better. As an E-3 under 2 I thought I was getting $96 bucks a month and about $15 tax free and $65 a month combat pay doubled my income and sent $150 a month home to help out the rest of the family. By the end of 68 I'd made E-4 and field...

Uh.... that's not just a tower, it's me flybridge! better view from up here.:ermm:

IDK about the people we do know. I replied to an officer from another dept and got a whole list of her friends of a lot people I don't know but we "shared one mutual friend" and started getting ads from "Thrive", American Indian Council, the church of What's Happenin, the local Chevy dealer...

Gaston; sorry, wrong thread. See drifting,,,Navy style, # 20.:facepalm:

Wrong side CTF: Guess? Man I got skills! Gaston: Think you could check out that bell for me? Spoda be at the Australian Maritime Museum in Sydney. We visited Melbourne in 67. Yeah, shellback. See Crusty? you ain't old. I got out in 76, about the time you went in. Went to PO1 in 10...

It IS a houseboat! Stopped by today. Found the frontage road and drove right to it. It's about a 40 ft River Queen, really bad shape. Thought the bottom was painted red, but nay nay, it's steel, and rusted. Side windows broken out and boarded up, twin I/O, with steering knuckles missing, but...

Wrong side IDK. It all sounds to me like the optimum size of the space shuttle booster rockets was decided centuries ago by the spacing between the wheels of Roman war chariots.
