Looks like there is already a "Plethora of Pinatas", oh I mean "Plethora of Pins". :facepalm:

I have changed my description a dozen times and can't make up my mind how I want to keep it; “You know, we all have our own El Guapo's to face". I guess that's mine.

Edit: Is it may imagination, or was all of the print and lettering backwards in that clip ^^^^?

​I can't seem to make this Zee map thing work very well on an iPad. Lots of nav issues. Anyone else try it? Looks like I'll have to wait until I can get back to my PC. I'm in Mexico now, but will give it a try when we head back to No Calif in a couple of weeks. Meanwhile if any one figures out how to use this on an iPad please post. I haven't posted much for the last year or so, but I follow this and the Starcraft threads daily. You guys keep the good work and I'll get around to bringing my Starcraft thread up to date when I get back on it this summer.

Not your imagination MP .. Chose that clip because there was a bit of profanity at the end of the other one I was going to post .
Just put your back up to the screen and look at the reflection in a mirror .
Probably one of the funniest movie's ever ! "Those can's ! He hates those can's ! ound:

Re: 1961 Lonestar Flamingo - SPLASHED w/Pics

Maybe a cutsom paint job on the lower section of that baby? Looks sweet, I bet Flamingos do fly!

Lakelover, you guessed it. I ordered custom decals tonight.
Whatcha think



Entire Motor will get the Tractor paint treatment with hardener High Gloss White and then the Decals. Gunna Paint the Prop Blue Flamingo Blue!!!! 3/4 Throttle oughta get the job done!!!!

Thanks to Corjen1!!! He made me a GREAT DEAL!!!!

My Trip to Wichita, allowed me to meet up with another GREAT iBoat member and spend a great day talking boats, working on an exact duplicate of my Old Morse sewing machine (1 yr newer) and doing a little bit of glassin'!!! Got to me the Admiral and all the Ships Mates as well! Great family and gret hospitality for this Old Dumb Okie. Cordell had the motor all set to go and all 4 cylinders checked out at 120 psi. Not bad for having set for over 10 years!!!!!. His Boat is gunna be soooooo cool when done. Very unique design and styling. He's trying hard and learning fast. I hope I helped and didn't confuse him to much. He's probably just glad I'm gone so he can get back to work with out me breathing down his neck. HA!!!! He's a Great Guy and I Highly recommend you give him a shout if you're ever in the Wichita Area. His son, I hear, Plays a MEAN Violin, and He Smokes a GREAT Ham too!!!!

Thanks Cordell!!!!!
