Welcome Flint!

In the PC effort to preserve fairness, the phrase "yo ho ho" is banned around here.  Since Santa can't say "ho ho ho" w/o the PC police getting their panties in a knot, we can't have you running around cat calling us fine CC women!

A few other rules apply here as well:

1)  your bottle(s) of rum will be checked at the door
2)  your vast wealth, referred to as "booty" will also be checked in at the door
3)  the term "booty" will NOT be used to describe the women here

 :drunksailor: This *ahem* gentleman has, within a short period of time, managed to get himself stereotyped.  I trust you'll be on your best behavior so as not to share his fate.

... And really, what's this shit about "a pirates life for me" ?  Totally selfish and it will NOT be tolerated!  Conform to the hive's ways and all will be well.

I'm sure you understand, after all, we are going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good.

Maybe it's time for a proper intro.  I'm a Coast Guard vet, a mod over at USMilnet, on most issues I'm about three steps to the right of center (five being over the cliff).  Trying to be an impartial mod over at USMilnet I avoid talking about religion and politics (too much) over there; I plain don't talk religion, but some of my politics might come out over here.

I'll start with "what did you do in the CG" cause it leads into "vftb".  I was a Quartermaster, in the Navy and the CG a Quartermaster is (or should be) "expert helmsman", practical navigator and (in the CG) signalman.  As you can see, all of the stuff takes place on the bridge; therefore, vftb="view from the bridge".  :-)

Did you always like to be out on the water? I grew up on LI and we would go out in the Sound, mostly to drink. The guys would pretend to fish. I don't remember much of it, due to the effects of sun and liquor, and a shitty memory in general. "Quartermaster" sounds cool.

Grew up around the water (surfed all my life, well since I was eleven), love the water, got out of the Guard for all the wrong reasons.  Here's a little venture I'm involved with now:

All you have to do is plug your directv receiver into it and it finds the satellite wherever you are. I want it for my RV and Im going to be doing overtime this month to save up for it.

I also "need" my internet connection when I go out in the RV, so I got the verizon air card. I havent found a place yet where I can't hook up. All you do is stick it in the pmciiaci-whatever slot in the laptop. I wonder how far out it would work for you.

I think the AT&T speeds are even better than VZ. I love my air card. Its like $50 a month unlimited, and I can even stream video. Downloading anything takes forever. But I can do email and post at well, now conservativcave, in the woods!   :-)
