Maybe that's what I should start to call my two shots of raspberry vodka, ice water, and Blueberry Crystal Light and for you folks out there watching your waist this is one of the lowest cal drinks out there. only 1 point on WW!!

Interesting drink....guess on the water you could take two shots of water out of a cold water bottle, replace with vodka and add crystal light mix? Sounds tasty and refeshing!

Nice drink there @Suchawittygal

I actually drink a "Double Bombay", in the blue bottle, so we can start from there!

Now you're thinking Julian! I do that on the slopes when I'm snowboarding! No one has ever asked to smell my drink

@Magic Mmm...that sounds good...we have to get together and share drinks on the lake sometime.

That's crazy! 1 point? Does Crystal Light come in Pinot Noir? Otherwise, the nose may not allow my olfactory senses to explore a main ingredient to the essense of enjoyment I can't believe no one asked for a sniff!

 

[Julian]

@Suchawittygal isn't a shot of Vodka 4 points? Or is that the old point system? Or are you drinking diet Vodka---is there such a thing?

Indeed we do. You guys are always welcome here to explore any of our local lakes, or our more distant lakes of Powell and Mead...

Or maybe we can meet half-way at Havasu?? I sense a plan coming together.... A double-Bombay plan!

@Julian

@Julian Doh! You're right Julian! I stand corrected! as you can see, I don't do the WW program, but I hear it's a good program

I really like this forum. Great jet boat related topics as well as non-related topics that are interesting. Glad to be a member!

LMAO! That sounds like my kind of program!

 

[Julian]

@Charles here is my rather lengthy explanation of why I joined in on building this new home. Then the thread goes off on a tangent about drinking....which is much more interesting! LOL

 

[txav8r]

@Julian , did you forget a link?

 

[Julian]

@Julian , did you forget a link?

Nope...this is the thread....just click on Page 1....and read....if interested....its more of a history lesson now. And one that all of us needs to remember, and something that I would often say to Brian....

"Remember...a forum is about its members....keep them happy, and you'll have a happy and successful forum. Focus on the members...." Which is what our committee tries to do!

 

[txav8r]

I "liked" that...and totally agree. Many of our member don't know what some of us went through. And no amount of "growing up" will erase that. And it is that experience that brings this community to everyone today! You gotta love Jetboaters.net!

 

[Julian]

And we have a member map!!!! That rocks!!!! And it IS a priority for us, along with lots of other cool features!

Hello to all.
I must say, I enjoyed the read. I searched the internet for the proper way to adjust the reverse gate on a Mercury 175 XR2 jet drive ("Cutter" was not in the drop down for make of boat) and ran across your forum. I soon found myself reading this whole post and couldn't stop. As a former Green Beret (US Army Special Forces) with 12 deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan doing things as "Agency" security (think 13 hours to Benghazi) all the way to teaching anti-terrorism in Kenya, I enjoy stories of the little guy fighting back and for people standing up for what is right (even if it means your death). One of my favorite books ever is When Victims Fight Back. It's a bunch of short stories about potential victims becoming non victims and most of the stories end with a bad guy dead on the floor or front lawn. Love it! But this story fits right in minus the dead bad guy. Honor, Integrity, Values, doing the right thing, treating others the way you want to be treated, are those a thing of the past?

Just my two cents, never delete this post. How quickly history repeats itself. (I see this is from 2014 so I doubt it's going anywhere) I'm sure I'm not the only one that enjoyed this story. And not to $*/t on anyone (Brian), but think about the worst controlling person that you have ever met and ask yourself, if someone could of warned you how that person behaves, wouldn't you want them too? Evil will always prevail will good men and women stand by and do nothing. Great job on the site and the hard work it took to create it and maybe, just maybe, he thinks to himself, maybe I should of just treated people better. (Doubtful, I know)

I understand I am only hearing from one side of the argument, but from what I have read, Brian, you're a A*$ H*/e. Although there are A-holes everywhere, it's the people that allow them to behave that way that is the problem. Call them out every chance you get.

Respectfully,
