Hey Marin. An even tougher challenge than abstainance would be 25 words or less after 10,000. That way we could keep you around and under control.

Anyone else see the humor in the post above?

I have a difficult time controlling myself so there's no way I can control others...

Frankly I prefer the "Bubba's with wheels" to the "Bubba's with keels" myself. A small part of me wished to name our boat "Pretentious Oakie". However after visiting some of the nicest marinas and yacht clubs locally I found myself somewhat inadequate to fulfill that title in the presence of such seasoned and superior yachtsman.

Years ago the convention was a small set of lights (or day flags) mounted on the spreaders ir on a motorboat mast.

White or blue "crew at meals" or "owner absent " (or not receiving) was the meaning.

Sad that today there is no such common convention , for either boats or RV's.

At Bus Bashes , where folks go to show off their conversion or see others the organizers give cardboard foldouts with YES or NO, that can be left in the windshield, to create visit or private times.

A Blue light or flag would work for me!

No, I'm done here pretty quick.

And at least with a forum you don't have to read what you don't want to read (Which is something that baffles me about you Jeff-- -you keep whining about the length of my posts so my question to you is--- why do you continue to keep reading them? Hell, even my dog is smarter than that. Just do what he did and put my name on your ignore list. That's what it's there for. Then you won't be tempted to read my posts because you won't even see them and the rest of us won't have to read your whining about them.)

In the RV parks, you've got no control over the bozos who come up and want to talk your ear off about total rubbish. A lot of dock walkers are like that too but we long ago discovered how to get rid of them almost immediately.
