Re: i'm back/albany

Hey, you won something, got your spirits up, and even got a bunch of good posts wishing you congrats instead of "can I borrow some money". Win or not your a winner in my book, along with the rest of you fine people on this board! Keep your head up Way577, things will be bright in your future.<br />p.s. I hope you didn't go on a shopping spree already.

Re: i'm back/albany

I don't know why you feel like an a***ole,Way..An honest mistake,and at least you won $2500. That's still better than a sharp stick in the eye,man :D <br />Grin and bear it...You had a good day,and that is one step ahead of the game. Look at the pic of how MY day went.....<br />

<br />And I feel it could allways get worse. I could've hurt someone else,or ended up in the hospital, but no real injuries,outside of a sore ankle on my right foot.<br /><br />You're allways a winner here, Wayne :)

Re: i'm back/albany

Hmmmm. Sorry for the misunderstanding, Wayne. :( <br /><br />I think I know how it feels. Had about a megabuck in dot.coms, Enron and Worldcom. Of course it was all on paper. Now it's all off paper. :( Rats!<br /><br />But there is a silver lining for you, 2.5 kilobux, :) and a silver lining for me. I wont starve, but I have to give up my dreams of a fleet of Boston Whalers and settle for one (Oh poor me! :eek: ).<br /><br />Feels good to be a millionaire, even for a few days, doesn't it?<br /><br />Hang in there. :)

JB, methinks your grandchildren will be EXTREMELY wealthy, if you hold that paper! It will be worth far more (than it was before the 'anouncement'),<br /> as collector's items in a few years.<br />I can hear it now;<br />"And here is real stock from the ENRON company ,issued back in the late 90's. Collectors are scouring the globe for these, and I have 100 shares".<br />Optomism...Ya can't spend it, but it sure sedates the pain.

Wayne,<br />Congrats again! A $2,500. winning is pretty hefty. I know the cash came in handy and heck, it will buy a lot of boat fuel and bait.

Darn and I was so looking forward to that party of yours. I guess the party is at JBs place next year. You sure had us all excited for you.

Re: i'm back/albany

Hey Wayne,<br />That's still enough to buy a couple rounds down at the coonrod! You can tell Butch you had it in your hands... then he can remind you that he did hit it twice,, ( how can that possibly happen?)<br /><br />so, i guess you aren't selling the old boat huh, know anybody local good at rebuilding outboards?<br />I am in need of somebody good,, but not real expensive.!<br /><br />Also, think of how many times you can play lotto with that $2500,, or go put some on the horses .. <br /><br />Congrats , and stop saying "loser"... you WON!<br /> :cool:

Re: i'm back/albany

Hi Wayne,<br />I'm down south of you a bit,, outside Morrisville on Eatonbrook Reservoir. Are you talking about Rome Marine? Or a different shop in Rome. <br />And 12'r,, that looks to me like a fancy little ol Toyota pickup, probably with the 22R motor that is bulletproof! Wish my mercury was that strong! The way the weather is lately I guess I won't be needing the boat anymore anyway.. good winter project. Might as well get working on the snowmobiles.. anybody know where I can find a recoil for a 74 JD 300 snowmobile? <br /> :cool:

Re: i'm back/albany

Wayne,<br />You say you come down to eatonbrook? cool! but don't forget, I won't be out on the water for a while since i cooked my motor :( and this sunday,, figures.. i am heading to my mothers for an afternoon cookout,, but will be around early in the day till about noon i guess... been a lot more fisherman there lately, since the heat broke,, not sure how much luck they are having though, seems this year isn't very good fishing, at least where I am. <br />If you go into the far point of the lake, where it is real narrow, where it gets real weedy and mucky,, that is where I am,, on the left going in, just where it narrows up. there are 3 year round houses right there on the water, i am the first,,a cedar sided ranch, with an L shaped aluminum dock with a dead sea-ray parked at it. feel free to swing by and say hi if you see somebody around! <br />and i'll even buy you a cold beer for having a winning ticket! <br /> :cool:

Re: i'm back/albany

Hey Wayne,,<br />did you get out this weekend? I was home sunday till about noon, then headed out to my moms,, then to the speedway to watch the sprint cars and the fireworks after... it was good,, but a bad wreck sent a mini sprint car right into the flag man's stand,, he dove out of the way luckily! the lake was busy monday, we were here most of the day, working on the house and the neighbors new garage. it's kinda depressing seeing all the boats out there with mine still tied to the dock dead. I am taking it out as soon as i get a neighbor willin to tow me over to the launch. <br /><br />Hope your Labor day holiday was good.. certainly was good weather,, and supposed to be a great next couple days too!<br /><br />see ya!<br /> :cool:

Re: i'm back/albany

Wayne,<br />It looks like I have tomorrow off of work, and will be around most of the morning, but leaving about 1:30 for our son's football game till about 4:30 or so. I plan on just doing some work around the house in the morning, maybe dig my trailer out of the weeds and make sure it is ready to go. I think we are in for some nice weather this weekend!
