Wow...

A few months ago I didn't know jack squat really...

Many many heartfelt thanks to all of you that have guided, pushed and pulled me into the right direction and so selfishly shared your knowledge....


Thank you all..

Re: Just made CPO!

I remember your show CPO Sharky
I guess since youve changed your name it would be called CPO CheapboatKev If one of the networks brought it back

Movie deal actually..thats where all the $$ is...Stealing old TV shows and comic book characters..It's a working title but CPO CBK has strong appeal in recent key market surveys..

Hey, don't sweat it ... I am living proof that you can get 6,000 posts without knowing anything! All you have to do is sound intelligent once in a while ... :p :D

Congrats Kev....

Still a Seaman here...but moving rapidly up the ladder...lol.

This is such a great site with so much info available on all boating topics!

When I actually retire (in ten months) and get back to Bradenton, Fl and my new boat - will actually have some "live" experiences to talk about....
Until then - learning more each day.

:confused::confused: You mean I don't even sound intelligent occasionally???? Jeez ... but that is okay, LT says I am in the NORMAL range! :p:D

But wait, is that LT's normal, or normal normal???? Okay, now I am confused and sounding un-intelligent. Okay CBK, I guess you are right! :eek::D

Oh funny...Aspeck..The "huh" reference was not directed to any of your fine, in-depth, well thought out HIGHLY intelligent responses...If this is what was inbued, then I apologize..I was more thinking about some of the whack-a-doodle, really ummmmm strange posts I have read, like roof tar boats..ahem..;)

I also question the definition of "normal"..in fact, I also question what "insanity" truely is, and have come to the hypothosis that insane may in fact equal being just that, normal!
