Holy buckets talk about a blast from the pass. I was raised in Norwalk from about 6 mos old til leaving for college. I worked at Cove for several summers. Starting when I was about 13, another guy and I had our own boat washing business. we'd wash from the scuppers up...for a buck a...

All I can say is, be careful. https://www.union-bulletin.com/news/saving-weasel-walla-walla-animal-control-officer-comes-to-rescue-while-on-vacation-in-gig/article_013aa4a9-4ad9-5247-be3d-7d2fce0442e3.html

their claim has nothing to do with the rifle being defective. The issue is how it was marketed and to whom it was sold. (one of their ads suggested that purchasing one of their rifles would allow you to "consider your manhood restored." Completely different than claiming a defect. Product...

with respect and thanks to Peggy who really goes above and beyond in being helpful but OMG those things are just awful. Its nice that you can get years of service, but that's true with almost any marine head today. The problems start when they stop giving that "perfect" service. I've been...

you guys sound like one giant advertisement for the insurance industry.

I have an old Raymarine C80 Plotter. Its worked fine in the time we've owned Satisfaction. I'm gradually updating, adding some things, changing others. One thing I've done is switch my plotter/radar/sonar to Garmin. But, decided to keep the C80 as a second plotter/backup. I had the work...

the vast majority were. A few very early ones had a smaller engine and I think some of the last before they went out of business and were picked up and re-branded by Helmsman had something else.

Oro Bay down at Anderson Island has good anchorage, and some reciprocal if you're a club member. I also like docking in Olympia at Swantown. Gig Harbor is ok, with a public dock and some ok anchorage, but its pretty busy in the summer. I've heard a couple folks mention Priest Point Park down...

its never that simple. Yes, as the owner most often you don't owe unless you do something negligent, or leave something in a dangerous condition. EG, the workman slips on some water in the galley that you shoudl have spotted and cleaned up, you could be liable. To make it worse, there can be...

No, most states I know of there is workers comp. It protects the EMPLOYER, not third parties. So, if joe is working for acme marine, who sends him out to work on my boat, and joe gets hurt, yes, he'll be covered by workers's comp, but if he can make the case that I did something negligent, he...

sorry this took a while to respond. The answer is yes. if the injuries are bad enough and insurance "light" enough, you can bet there is a good chance that the claimant will have an asset search done, and perhaps make a claim. In 40 plus years, I've done it maybe a couple times, very rarely...

Has nothing to do with being chiselers. its about risk. One of the first thing the carrier does, or tries to, is assign an amount as a reserve for the claim. So, barring unforeseen circumstances, they have at least some idea what their exposure is. They also know that as cases develop, the...

there are a ton of things I could argue about as far as the billing, but they know that and that's why they charge the full 5k on your card, then another 6k, before you see any sort of itemization. Its just a strange kind of transaction because it has to be done almost as soon as its discovered...
