If the sharks do get him, I hope they leave a leg behind.....I can always use a spare tiller extension.

Hahaha, f*ckers.
I'm laughing.


I might not be making it this year. I've blown way too much money on my house the last few months. Plus, I'm supposed to be in Wyoming the last week of February. Doesn't leave much time for working in there.

All that drama about being invited and now this!? W T F !! Dude, if you're scared just say you're scared and don't give us some lame excuse about work and money. What is your next excuse... "I have to clean stalls that weekend"?

I hear there is nothing like Wyoming in February.....Lucky B@stard. I wish I could be there too, but I'll be stuck down here in Florida.

I was going to ask you for a favor or to do a small job. I vaguely remember a picture of your shop and a big drum sander. I have a piece of walnut that was cut from my grandmother's farm in central Illinois back in the mid 60' and I want to make it into a picture frame for a panormamic picture of Punta Gorda back in the 1930's. I figured if I shipped it up to you then you could run it through your machine and drive it back down here. I save the cost of shipping. But since you aren't coming, can I send it to you?

For those interested in a 4th day, I talked to my Stiletto skipper who is the race chairman for the Punta Gorda Sailing Club. He said fine, a 4th day would be up to you and would probably not count in the final standings.

To plead your case, please contact the regatta chairpeople:

I'm game as long as the start and end point are the same.

And I think we should avoid Boca Grande pass; maybe behind Cayo Costa, turn around at Cabbage Key?

About 23 mi. as drawn.

Oh David.... I do it just to jerk your chain, and you know it. I might be able to make it, but like I said, I've spent waaaaaaayyyyy too much money lately.



Wyoming, in February is pretty awesome. Snowmobiling through a few feet of fresh powder in the mountains is the shiznit. Its the one week a year I actually enjoy winter.



How big of a piece? I don't know how old the pic you saw of my shop is, I've got a widebelt now. (better) I can fit a 36" wide material through that. You can send it, I can bring it to Tradewinds if you get it here quickly. Won't take long to sand, but I've got a million and one projects to get done before I go. I can wrap it in cardboard, shrinkwrap it, and bring it down that way.

ship it to
Sogn Cabinet Company, inc
12980 Dennison Blvd
Dennison, MN 55018

Its a commercial address so the shipping should be marginally less.

Well, that's the better taste of my own medicine. Nicely played Mr. Brogger. You're stock is on the rise.

Thanks for your interest. Probably 24" wide. I won't be anywhere near the Tradewinds. Let's wait until next year

When is this Charlotte Harbor Regatta you speak of? I've got most of Dec. off for vacation but still have to deal with the Wife and 4 kids, oh and the Wife's Birthday...Oh, and that Christmas thingy...

Well, I can send it with Robbie and Jill too.

Ahh, ok, Thanks Jack!

I'll try to bid it off. My son's Bday is Feb. 2, but he'll be 19, probably won't miss me if I'm not there, maybe I can send him to...Sydney or something.

Volunteer him to crew for you.

Yeah...anyone want to swap boats with me?

I'd need an Inter 20, not a Blade, for that, unless it's blowing 20.

He's 6'1 and 190.

OR...anyone looking for that size Crew?

Jack, does he know any stiletto drivers down in Naples/Marco/Ft. Myers? I'm trying to get in touch with one or two to get a ride. I see a few moored around here, but don't know who to hassle for a spin...

I'll ask him when I see him.

You could check here, I don't know how up to date this list is.

Come on Stank, where's your 'creativity'?? All you need is a small kyak, or borrow a rowboat, and paddle on up to one of those moored Stilletto's on a Weds. afternoon, when nobody's around, and take it for a spin! Just be sure you tie it up right when you get back.

believe me, I've got my eye on one. Now, where the heck does he keep the sails?
