Where in the Queen's grammar manual does it describe "a vehicle an make
quite a mess" is proper grammar?


Still need to know if the snow cover is gone up there? Anyone up there
that can fill me in? The guy asked me to wait till the snow is gone,
also noted he was busy so not to bother him till it is...


========================


Simple answer: The snow cover's not gone.


You buying a boat from this guy, or doing some sort of work for him?


No ****? How much is still on the ground up there?
=====================

My lawn: 8 inches
My neighbor's lawn: 14 inches (different wind pattern)
Nearby park, away from lake effect patterns: Two inches.

What do you conclude from these three examples, as they relate to your boat
thing?- Hide quoted text -

That there is still a couple weeks at least till I can plan on going
for the boat..maybe more maybe less, but I will not call the guy for
at least a week or two..

And to further confuse the subject, I need to wait till your state
budget is passed before I can call him, by his request

I have no idea. I don't think we've had an on-time budget here since the
stone age.

I am picking up a mostly finished sailboat from a guy who never had
the time to finish it and just wants it gone. I hope to finish it up
during the summer.. Nice little daysailer with a small cuddy, sleeps
3-4, room for small kitchenette..


Is the 'big guy' gonna fit on that weekender?- Hide quoted text -


- Show quoted text -


For the record, it's not weekender (stevproj.com), it's the larger
version called Vacationeer. It's 20 feet long, and 8 feet wide...

I was just ysing a generic term for small sailboats with minimal overnight
accomodation.
My Sandpiper 565 was a weekender.- Hide quoted text -

- Show quoted text -


Yeah, I figured, but just wanted to be clear as the designer of these
vessels has a boat called "Weekender". Anyway, I am very excited but
will probably need some sailing lessons after I get a sail bent on. So
if you get down this way...

Maybe we can enter it in the 2009 Marblehead/Halifax race.
You, me & Tom should make a competent crew.

If the weather keeps up like this, 75 or so, I'm running my new to me
sailboat up to the lake soon! I've been doing some reading on sailboat
handling!
