Hey, for some guys, that's what makes them tick, gives them their jazz. I have worked around people like that. Just not who I want to spend eight hours or more a day with... It gets old with me. A LOT of business is conducted this very same way down in /around NYC. I am convinced this is why DjT thinks he is perfectly normal....

My boat isn’t going to see the water this year.
Sitting the year out.
@ $6 a gallon of diesel, cost of slip up, cost of haul up, cost of everything up……. I’m taking the year off and see what happens after the mid-terms.

Are you serious Ronnie or is the an April Fools joke?

I don't know. Yeah it sucks that everything is up and the cost of fun is gonna cost an extra 25-30%

But, life is short. You know what they say....yolo. With my job I have not had a full fishing season in the last 32 years. That kills me and I wonder if it was really worth missing all the years or raising my kids and my main hobby of boating fishing.

This year I was not going to put the boat in until late August when I get back. But......my schedule just changed unfortunately with some eye surgery and will be outta work for 3 more months recovering, now I figure I should put the boat in until I can go back to work to have some enjoyment.

I’m serious.
I’ll probably mate or run someone’s boat but my boat is staying in the shelter.
Fed up with a bunch of things, mostly this current administration that wants to eliminate the middle class & make everyone poor, accept themselves of course.

By the way
My son Leo got off the ship a few weeks ago, did 100 days.
Dropped him off at Logan Saturday.
Quick turnaround.
Doing his 1st trip as 2nd engineer, they left Philadelphia this morning, headed to southern texas.
He turned 24 late December.
How old when you made chief ?
