Before you take offense, glasshole is a term of endearment that us river rats bestow upon the first to wake and hit the morning water while it's still glass-like conditions.

Some of you long time jetboaters might remember me from the early days.

It's nice to see the spirit and spunk of jetboaters in action here on the World Wide Web!

I haven't been frequenting the internet forums as much as I used to - busy putting kids through college and living life as it comes, but I'm determined to make more time on the water in 2014 - even if it's only to keep my wife from questioning my boat ownership.

Glad to join you all here. I hope I can contribute....all y'all with the new fangled boats may have to bring me up to speed with what's going on with the new technology - I'm curious to see what Yamaha has been up to lately (That doesn't count dirtbikes, I'm all over that)

OK, bring it on!

I've been too lazy to get my glasshole up early enough!

Welcome back to the WWW! Glad you could join this bunch of outcast misfits in our endeavor to make a new transparent and friendly home!

A blast from the past! Welcome aboard Glassman! Glad to see you here, loss of membership on the other forum sounds funny since it was growing. But loss of experience and history is never good. So when you can, join in and hang with us glassholes! Glad to see your name in print again!

Thanks, I missed you guys. Raising a family sure does take a lot of time and effort, but it sure is worth it when you see your kids reach their goals. Boating, for me, made a significant contribution to our family. And I hope it does for all of you too.
Although I still have two in college, I plan on taking a bit more time for just my wife and I and the boat should play a part in that too.

Really glad to see you again Glassman :)
Your unique sense of humor is missed.
I've often wondered about you. Just sayin'. Don't think about last statement that too much :eek:

BTW, I like how you folded 'up' the bimini instead of folding 'down'. I never thought about that before. Much better than having to step over it all the time. [is-there-a-thumbs-up-emoti?]

YO! MA Friend! How you been buddy?

Don't worry, I have a cadre of folks over here who wonder about me on a daily basis!

Hope you are doing well, we now officially have a drought to contend with over here on the left coast. But that's OK, I don't drink much.:cool:

Hi Jim, been a long time my friend, hope you and the family are well. I am now a Grandpa with (3) Grandsons & (1) Granddaughter, life has been treating us well.
Dan! When Bruce contacted me about the new site you were the first one I thought of. Things are good and getting better, congrats on the expanding brood. I'm up to...crap I lost count, let me call my wife...
7 grandkids ! And that's from only three of the original 5...two are still sucking my wallet dry while vacationing at college. See what I get for being nice!?

You still in AZ? :cool:

Oh my, great minds think alike! I went out and got my mid-life crisis car too! AND IT'S THE SAME COLOR!

I was real close to getting a 'Vette, but a went wit a Feurermobile and got an SL instead:



My daughter said it is an old man's car. She's right. It's her old man's car!

I'm a fan of Fuehrermobile's. This was macar until my daughter 'borrowed' it...

Herr Fuehrer builds great tanks. Overall, I'd say the brick wall lost the battle
