mom and pop boatstore operation.

Yep - keep on thinking that.

With all those other boats, why would someone mess with a LTP?

Maybe a low life?

I can think of a few reasons. The tires will develop flat spots
over time. That happens with our
vehicles in Florida over the summer while we're gone. It takes a few
weeks of driving around before they go away.

It's mildly funny when Shortpants Tom says this, but when a boating
numnutz like you does, it just makes you look dumber than usual. Your
comments, after all, are based on what? Your imaginary trips across the
dangerous waters of Lake Lanier?


Harry,
This was not suppossed to set you off, it was a little joke, since you
seem to like the same joke made by SWS, Eisboch, and numerous others, I
didn't think it was **** you off.

I do have to tell you I really don't have any imaginary boating
experience, all of my are real.

Getting back to the original post, why would a boat yard care if your
trailer was placed on blocks? He doesn't have to worry about the tire
getting a flat spot or the sidewalls ruined by the tires getting low on
pressure. Just because a marina doesn't do block the trailer, doesn't
mean it isn't a good idea. After all, my father, tire manufacturers and
trailer manufacturers all recommend it.

Everyone knows my real name, just as they know Tom's real name and just

at remaining anonymous are the a**holes like you.

I think Reggie's real name is Reginald. He just wants everyone to *think*
that's not his real name. Hell, if you were named Reginald, wouldn't you do
the same?

I'd rather be named 'Sue' than 'Reginald'!


No one is named "reginald" except that character in the "archie" comic
strip.

That's not really true - Elton John's real name is Reginald Dwight I
believe.

Come of thing of it, you may have a point. :)

A long time ago, I wrote a short sci-fi story and used the Myron
Fredrick as my "pen" name. One of the editors that my Dad knew looked
through it, pronounced it acceptable, but a name change was necessary.

I asked why and he said that nobody was named Myron. When I said that
Myron, Fred and Rick were the first names of my best friends, he asked
what's Myron's nickname?

Doug I replied. :)

D'Oh!!!
