I just happened to notice what seems to be a new field at the bottom of the website labeled "today's birthdays". Never saw it before, but...

Happy Birthday Chris!

Thanks again for all the work you and Ryan went through (and continue) to make this "home" on the web for all of us. It's great!!

Toss back a few cocktails and have a great day (even if it can't be on the Mariah)!!!

Here's to feeling (and "being" ) 29 forever after.

Thanks for the birthday wishes guys! I like that "29 forever after" line. Planning on a few cocktails here shortly, I'm just upset I can't enjoy them on the boat.... Well, I could, but it's snowing and I'd look funny as hell sitting on the boat in this freezing ass weather.

We've got many great things in store for the website, we just need to find some free time to get everything taken care of!

Happy Birthday old timer!

Alright, you guys put me up to it...

ya wanna borrow some of our snow to give you that real 'winter' feeling??

Dudders sent me an email the other day to tell me it was 35 Celsius in Perth.....grrrrrrr.

Ha ha!!! Love it!!! Great pic, Chris. Although, I am a bit disappointed you didn't pull the cover off and actually sit inside for a couple minutes!

LOL @ the photo!

At least your boat is sitting near to you. Mine is 1.5hrs north in a shed under about 2feet of snow. It was about 3-4 feet before we got some heavy rains around christmas time.

Now our lake is already under high water alerts (aka flooding) and we haven't even gotten to spring yet... weeeeeeee.

Happy Belated Chris!

I did that last weekend when it was 68. Gotta love Cincinnati for it's unusual weather patterns. I would have hopped inside, but the cover is stretched as tight as a drum in the back, and it literally took me hours to get it right. My winter cover sucks.

And yes, it is nice to have the boat close to home (literally about 6 inches from my chimney), but it's a constant reminder that you can't use it! Every time I come home, it's there looking at me. That's when it hurts...

Happy Belated B-day Chris!!! 29 forever, hmmm, the wives keep saying that too...

Sorry for missing it! It was all the drugs I'm taking to deal with this cold, flu, whatever it is I got. Poor wife relappesed and is home wioth me today... misery loves company (now where have I heard that one before?).

I know exactly how you feel, with the Mariah sitting there next to the house... but you're into graphics, rig up a moving screen next to the old Shabah, a couple of friends with water hoses on mist and a little imagination, you'll be on the water in no time! Oh, and don't forget to have someone jump up and down on the trailer.... it adds to the effect!
