TALKIN’ ‘BOUT MY GENERATION…
The Who song ‘My Generation’ came out in 1965.
Sang by Roger Daltrey, he happened to mention “Hope I die before I get old.” And well, that was always my plan.
But now that I am 57, I think I might have to reevaluate that plan. And yes, I am very grateful to have seen all that I have, done everything I wanted to, and boated all over the country.
So, now that I have had to change the plan, over the last few years I have started to take better care of myself. I stopped smoking for my lungs, stopped caffeine for my heart, stopped jogging for my knees, stopped discount bungee jumping for my bones and increased my daily allotment of vitamins, minerals, tofu burgers, and Natural Light. (okay, I lied about the tofu burgers) but there is still time, I hope.
Still time, I hope…
To do the things we love, enjoy the people we love and never stop trying to take the non-boating humans out for boat ride!
VECTOR ANALYSIS FROM CAPTAIN RAY!
Captain Ray, who will never admit to being a legend constantly has great ways to explain
the joys of boating!
Vector Analysis… when you are docking your boat you should ask for help when you, the Captain, are docking your boat, operating your boat and leaving your slip. If you don’t ask for help, then the people on your boat shouldn’t be HELPING! Tell them to sit down and be the Captain!
The best example of Vector Analysis is your docking your boat. You have a mathematical equation running through your head as your boat is backing into its slip.
And then for no reason someone on your boat reaches out and moves the boat or pushes off a piling. Instantly, your vector analysis or mathematical equation has to be corrected!
A SAD AND TRUE AND FUN STORY ALL IN ONE
I went to watch the Micro Wrestling Federation at Cult Classic this past April. We can call short people, dwarves, Diminutes, Miniatures, peewees, runt or what I’ve always called Height Challenged people Midgets.
I AM NOT BEING RUDE!
It is just how people describe people. Now, I ran into a fabulous group of Midgets this past winter at a Buccee’s waiting in line. So, they were all around me and I struck up a cool conversation. They explained they were a group of midget wrestlers who travel the country doing shows. They are celebrated as celebrities, sign autographs, meet other people like them, meet alot of women (and often more than that) and absolutely love what they do. But recently they have been havng a problem!!! Yup, a problem!!! College students and do-gooders keep showing up and protesting outside their gigs. The Do-Gooders think they are being exploited, and their human rights are being violated! It can affect the wrestlers gate by 20 and 30 percent.
The college students don’t realize the troop of midgets own their business!
While at the Bay Bridge Boat Show I learned the troop was going to be on Kent Island that Saturday night. The crowd was probably 2000 people, the troop ran the whole event and it was truly entertaining! I loved it!
I missed seeing Jake the Waterperson at the Bay Bridge Boat show. I ran through Rock Hall in Early May and didn’t see him there either! So this past weekend at Sue Haven Yacht Clubs opening I was surprised to see him! I was like Holy @#$% Juke the Waterman on the Western Shore!!! He groveled, bought me a beer and we sat eating Cheese Burgers just before him and his family headed back across the bay. Thank You Jake for all the good memories…
