BTW...took the red SeaDoo to the shop for the warranty work. The brand new fuel pump that they installed (to replace the defective factory one) was defective as well!! Two fuel pumps with a total of 4 hours on the ski. Ahhhh...craftsmanship and Quality Control....:rolleyes:

Well, I may be opening myself up for a little more than I care to have dished out, but what the heck... I don't recall that picture being taken at all.:facepalm: Kinda funny to me, 'cause I remember plenty after that bottle was gone; which, by the way, I don't think it lasted a 1/2 hour!!!:p

Could be worse... There are those shady dealerships that will try to wiggle and squirm their way out of honoring warranty work. They falsify invoices, submit them to the manufacturer, get the new part/parts, collect the reimbursment for labor from the manufacturer, and sell your parts (which you don't even know about) to someone else, or even worse... to you!!! ...But, alas, Kharma is always present to reward all deeds... good, bad, and indifferent.

That one with the beer colored liquid in it sitting by the half and half carton. :D Shared with you, that is the problem, he did and now you don't remember and want to lay the blame elswhere. :eek:

You had one...then you left. You snooze, you lose!

I think she had more than one. It sure took her a long time to get up and moving the next day. :D

Re: Another Florida Summer Roundup

Just an update... Explanation, really.:redface: I realized why I'd been having so much trouble uploading pics to iboats. It is indeed partially because of my internet connection; but I recently realized that most of the pictures I've been trying to upload, contain too many mega bytes. I guess I'll have to lower the resolution when taking pictures. The pics I posted earlier in this thread after the get together, were the only ones that will upload. I'll figure it all out one of these days.:facepalm: I still havn't been able to post pics in any form other than thumbnails. Maybe I'll figure that out sometime in the near future, too.:rolleyes:

Set your camera to 3. whatever, I think mine is 3.7, you still get a good picture you just cannot blow it up to life size. Also, go to photobucket.com, set up a free account, upload there then link to iboats. You are right, smaller size pics do upload easier. If you go to microsoft,com there is a free image resizer you can use to reduce the pixels and make a smaller file size, or check your photo program, I feel sure you have one and check for resizing in it, you could resize a group at one time, if you want to keep the originals just save to a different folder after you resize.

Awesome!!! Thanks for the guidance. I had figured it would take me at least a couple of weeks just to get around to looking in to this.;) One of these days I'll get it figured out.:D

Again, thanks for the guidance!!!:D

Re: Another Florida Summer Roundup

What I do veritas honus is send the photo to paint. Resize it to 600X450 and send it to a file.

Here is a photo of a bottle that had been sitting at the Tiki for years untouched.........until........the only one in our group that could reach that high, took a swig, and all I ever heard from him that made sense the rest of the night was....HICCUP!

I don't see a pic. All I see is a little box with an X in it, which was probably a pic when you first posted it.

Thanks for the info. So, what was this bottle? Was it Fireman who took a swig? If so, did I have some... If not, why not?:confused:

I don't recall anything like that. Maybe I wasn't there at the time, or maybe, like you, I just don't recall...:eek:

I don't even see a red X. :confused:

Fireman was the one who took a hit off the bottle. Just him, no one else. :eek:

The rest of us made up for it later with mini beers and Absolute Lemonade shots. :D:D

Ugh...it was/is a bottle of Southern Comfort that has been sitting as a decoration there for about 6 years, if I remember correctly. After the night of partying, I grabbed it off of the shelf and tilted it up. I think it was actually gasoline...

Not the smartest thing I've ever done, but see below...

Re: Another Florida Summer Roundup

May the memories live on! I reposted the bottle. I hope it wasn't removed because it was offensive to somebody. If it was, I would like to know about it so I don't make the same mistake again.

I have some other photos to post now that I have my puter back. I am very proud of the hat veritas honus gave me. It stays on Baccala along side of "Rico", my stuffed bird, I rescued from Puerto Rico whom helped me get through one tough time and some rough seas. I feel the hat will do the same. They both have a spirit about them I can't even begin to explain.

Miss you guys and we think about you often!

Now I remember that bottle clearly. Southern Comfort kinda makes me think about dirty dishwater sweetened with lots of sugar.:facepalm: I never even once thought about having any. I don't recall Fireman taking a swig, and I'm glad... 'cause I probably would've had one with him just so he wouldn't be the only one.

Sasto, you honor me with your thoughts about that hat. As you already know, the hat which inspired my getting it for you is my favorite hat. When we first met in person in St Augustine, one of the very first things you said to me was, "Nice hat!" I knew immediately what I had to do. I'm glad it has that much meaning for you, too. Wear it well, my Friend.

My wife and children miss you and Kimi as much as I. You guys, along with our whole "crew" are the subject of many terriffic discussions. We can't wait to get together again!!!:D
