sailindawg Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 Hello OCC, I've been a longtime lurker, sometimes poster over at DIY for the past 5 years. Enjoyed the site, learned a lot. I've been gaming, building and overclocking my pc's for about the past 7 years or so. When I'm not messing around with my pc, I'm out sailing. As of late, I've been coaching my daughter's soccer team and been having a helluva time. Looks like it's time for a change, I look forward to perusing your site. Thanks for giving a second home for the DIY crew. The crew at DIY were some of the most knowledgeable crew I have read online.

red930 Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Thanks all! Glad to be aboard. @EB, good to see you still hanging around. I enjoyed your last post over at DIY regarding you work van / pc mod. Very sweet. How's you spring going? Any good trips this year? Dark n Stormies all around! Getting too old for the long distance stuff.Just finished up on a 78' sport fish at Newport Shipyard last night and today I was at Bristol Marine going over the work I did on an Alden sloop with the owner. Next week I should be working on a couple of Freedoms in Warren, RI. The Caribbean crowd are somewhat slow to return this year due to unsettled weather down south. Gives me time to finish building my AX78. I ordered a Gigabyte 3D Mars case, 4 gigs of G.Skill DDR2 1066 a DVD burner and some incidentals from the Egg today. Now I can move it off the coffee table and into it's new home. The van is now sporting a 3' WiFi antenna on the roof, MS Streets and Trips w/GPS and over 4,000 mp3's that I can play on the radio through an FM transmitter. I'm hoping that the hard drive will last long enough until the solid state drives become more affordable. Every time I hit a pothole I expect it to die. Thanks for the drink . Nice folks over here btw. So how's things going with you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sailindawg Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 @ runner & Lo Thanks & Hello to you! @EB Sounds like you're stayin' busy! Too bad about the long passages. The longest farthest I've sailed was helping a buddy move his boat to Annapolis. I loved the open water part. Being out there really make one feel humble. I used to keep my boat at Bristol Marine until it got sold. I'm up in Dighton. Much closer to my home and the yard is a great yard. The 2 brothers that run it are top notch. I won't be launching till after Memorial Day weekend. I just took the cover off yesterday. I've been real busy with soccer. That's winding down and I have 2 games left. I will finish the soccer season in time for the OffSoundings race! That's a fun race. It'll be off to Block Island! OffSoundings is a great way to start off a sailing season. Regards.
