kmclemore has been instrumental in getting this forum revived. Thanks Kevin!

Russ has asked that I remain in my role as Moderator and I have agreed to do so. The forum should retain its friendly flavor and I'm sure that all of us are looking forward to the improvements.

I prefer "Wishnik", a term from the 60's when they were first sold. :D

I guess I’m just old; in the early sixties, they were just trolls.

Hey - I'm sending the money guys! Just waiting for Russ to confirm this "BRIDGER COMPUTER COMPANY" thing - (can't tell if it's legit - I get an un-approved site error on my computer).

Wait till I send the money before you break my legs!

All in fun, Boat. Yes, that is a legit company. If you notice, it is in Bozeman, MT. By coincidence, that is where Russ is located. It's actually called "Bridger Computer Solutions". Lots of sutff in the west named after Jim Bridger, a famous mountain man from the 1800's.

Bridger Computer Solutions is one of my companies. I look out of my office window at the Bridger Mountains, hence the name of the company. The mountains, of course, were named after mountain man Jim Bridger.

Here is a photo of my boat in front of the Bridgers.

Matt is a very interesting guy. He writes lots of books and self publishes on Amazon. I'm going to have to look him up if I find myself out your way. Same with you BOAT. You sell yourself as a troll, but you are obviously a skilled carpenter and sailor. I need to take a road trip to SO Cal some time soon.

matts place is really cool - it's got a patio on the roof where you can see the ocean all around and his bedroom is behind a big secret door that you can't tell is a door and the bathtub fill with water that comes out of a hole in the ceiling. he's really smart too.

I have not talked to him since he got the benny. Last I heard he was chartering out the benny to cover the expenses. that's what everyone over here does if they have a big boat - they rent it out for one day a month and that pays for the slip for the whole month. Most guys with real big boats also have a smaller one (just like Roger - at Rogers place he has a dock and on one side is his 70 foot pilot house MacGregor and on the other side of the dock is his black 26M).

But Roger only has ONE company - you guys have MORE than one!! (I don't have any companies :( )

Secret bedroom. How clandescent. Yea, he just upgraded his Benny to a 52. That's a lot of boat.
Makes sense to charter it. I know peeps who do AIRBNB stuff with their motorhomes. Same concept. Heck, I'd charter his boat.

Did Matt ever sell his Mac. I know he listed it. I should ask him.

When I built this house, I bought a laminar filler to fill the tub from the ceiling. It fills without splashing water all over the place. The plumber forgot to install it, so no ceiling filler for me.
I have 2 companies. An IT company "Bridger Computer Solutions, Inc." and a billing/credit card company. If you are a merchant and need to accept credit cards, I can save you money :wink: . Just sayin'
