Re: Fiberglass vs. Aluminum!

ok.....now im confused?

ok....so it is custom for spectators to hand runners water when they pass by....

people hold out plastic cups of water.....the runners reach out and take a cup as they run by.

i know that glitter boat guys will need acetone in the cup........but what the heck do we hand you jas? gluvit !

mods........

this is dockside material... but for the spirit and comradery of the dry dock......if you dont mind....ill leave it here so we can cheer these two well known posters on/

Dood, if the ladies group knew you were talking smack like that about them they'd kick the stuffing out of ya!:eek:

Yah, plus this should pretty well settle things with all this glass v. alum talk. The alum guy should have this wrapped up pretty quick;)

Yah Bob, I saw that one. Really cool! I like the absolutely ridiculous horrible physical challenges they put to ya! I think the memorization stuff would be the end of me:redface:.

You're close. oops. His secretary is taking dictation @ $350/hr while running on the treadmill for him. He probably has that buried in the fine print in her employment contract. Most likely a glass grinding clause is in there too. :p

Re: Fiberglass vs. Aluminum!

Mornin' buddy,

Listen, if you can make it through church on this beautiful easter sunday without squirming in your seat about including 4 miles before you even sent me the challenge invite, then I'm cool with it... I mean, seriously, if you can sleep okay, then I'll just consider it extra motivation.... I'm only 3 miles behind you... (your numbers up there aren't current)...

Also, I took the baby out in the joggin stroller this morning for a little sunday mornin' stroll. Turns out you still beat me by 8 seconds in the 5K.... Oh well.... I'll keep tryin...

Have a great day fellas!!!!

And, yes, I have a black belt in smack talk even when I'm clearly the underdog!!!!!

I had to vote with my fiberglass friends :)

But after doing the fiberglass for the stringers...if I do another boat (which is doubtful) it will be a tinny sorry bruthas.

Lets see. We have a fisherman and a lawyer spouting off numbers and bragging. Who to believe? :facepalm:

PMC - even your baby beat you to the 5K finish line. :confused:

Re: Fiberglass vs. Aluminum!

Wow, it's a challenge for sure.

If there is going to be a descent into a long back & forth discussion of the how's & why's of a particular footwear choice, my money's on PMC.

But I like scrappy, perpetual motion too: so....

Jas: Beware! Lawyers can be sneaky little sharks, be on the look out for briefs thrown in your face as a barrier to impede you. Of both the running nylon variety, and large tome's of loose-leaf paper. Have a qualified 3rd party review all documents & fine print. There will probably be a codicil, so check all filings submitted for review carefully for unannounced changes in the rules, regulations & substantiation of completion of the individual requirements of the challenge.


PMC: 3 words: Rabbit and tortoise....... I think the runner's high will kick in for you both, but leaving a little extra in the reserve tank will sustain you & carry you through for the win! Jas's high octane, jack rabbit leap out in front will likely result in a pulled hammy. Enough to hamper his efforts, but won't leave any lasting or permanent affects.

I clearly have a foot in both camps. I think I will hold off on picking a thoroughbred for now, see how the week starts......

Good luck fellas! Hope you both finish your respective challenges. Their soon too, correct?
