Speaking of fads, my wife likes yogurt, but not "Greek yogurt", and good luck finding NGY at Kroger theses days.

I like GY fine.  Everything is Greek now.  Started by a Turk who figured Turkish yogurt would never sell.

Not unlike the Greeks who labeled their spaghetti dish as "chili" so that it would sell.

You might experience one of the two happiest days in your life.

The Cobalt is nice, but I've always wanted a Pursuit.

My daughter had one of these for a while, it had absolutely NO options at all.  I thought it was a pretty decent car.

Must be a pretty light boat. It's floating, and it's not even in the water!

I thought you were a cabin cruiser kind of guy.

I thought you were a cabin cruiser kind of guy.

I was, when we were on Lake Michigan and lived on it every weekend (and for the last three months we lived up North after we sold our home). I sold that boat up there and have had two Cobalt boats since we moved here. That was a Four Winns - also great boat.



People here don't hang out in the Marina like up there. They come, use their boats, and go home. Different vibe completely.

Got it.  Is there any place to take a cruiser and anchor down or tie off?  Sand bar, small island?  That's what people around here do with their cruisers and houseboats.  

We now have good friends with a large houseboat slip in a marina near our wakeboat, so these days we just go tie off in their slip and hang with them, when we want to take a break from surfing or wakeboarding.  They have a 22' bowrider and jet ski, but the houseboat slip comes with a large recreation area and they've installed a lounge and small kitchen with sink and grill.  It's pretty awesome.  We'll be out there all day tomorrow I'm sure.

[847badgerfan]

Yes, there are places for sure. I see them all the time. It's nice to have a place to escape the sun and prepare lunch, drinks, whatever.

The problem with a cruiser here is that unless you are hooked up to power and run the AC (if you have it - we did, along with heat), you're gonna have mold. And it would be BAD.

We used to cover our boat all the time. Mold. We no longer cover it.


Have I mentioned that I gave up my 100-ton USCG Master Captain license?

We're exporting all of our crazies to the great plains, lol.
