Sorry Buster
I couldn't imagine what that's like even though I think about it everyday since my brother died.

[Aldo]

Aldo we had some laughs, I still have that little plastic bong you sent me btw. Haven't used it in years but i know right where it is. Hmmm.

I was trying to figure that out too looking at the real estate listing!

I think we still have some laughs ahead of us brother.

Hey Aldo, I chatted with Turnin' Pete the other day. He's still getting after it

Yo Dave! I saw him a few years back. Looked the same. Circa 84 or so we were ripping laps at k with him, breaks a binding, no prob literally walks into woods a hundred yards down and pulls out a stashed pair of rossi freestyles , without missing a beat we’re back in action. Truly a unique individual!

Man I just went though the pics on trulia and zillow and there wasn't a shot of exactly where it is.

But I gotta say, that's a nice fucking house, somebody should buy it. https://www.zillow.com/homes/13505-D...37162583_zpid/

What I love about this pic is when he looked at it, Buttah felt superior to somebody, which has to be super rare. But then he got crushed, like usual. It's like a story, this pic.

[Aldo]

There’s a laugh right there!

I was thinking it was in frame #21

Well go ahead and tell us.

I called him and gave him a chance to explain it himself, but Punani was Sophia.

He ran the (her) dialogue through an english to spanish translator, then back to english to get the broken sound of someone with poor english skills. It worked.

Wow..... the long forgotten names in that thread. Crazy.

[east or bust]

Let's see, a story.
One fine time, a pal and I were at a party at a house on Milwaukie Avenue in Portland. It was sort of a punk party, the Wipers were playing and we were getting drunk and making slappy with the girls.

So the evening is winding down and there was 1 quart of beer left that my buddy and I were fighting over.

Not quite Bukowski level, but pulling at it taking swigs and fighting. I happened to decide to let go once when my pal was yanking the bottle away and he pulled right into his mouth, smashing his teeth and chipping a from tooth. There was blood and a mess and some lassies who came to check on us.

So we decided we'd had enough and encouraged a couple of girls to come with to ride back to party elsewhere. My pal, K, had a killer fast Mazda RX2, one of the early wankel engines, the thing roared.

So K punches the sled back toward the other side of town heading for one of our consorts houses.

On the way, heading up Holgate, we crossed 28th street going around 60mph. That intersection has a big hill to a sharp transition where we found ourselves airborne through the light at the intersection with a cop car sitting stopped on 28th at the light.

An old beater truck, like a 56 chevy dome hood, had taken a right turn right in front of us, so as we landed, K slams on the brakes and veers into the curb flatting both passenger side tires. With lights on the cop walks around to K, who rolls down the window and puts his hands up and says "you got me officer". The cop looks in, sees us and asks where we were going. Kathy in the back seat says "oh, we live justa couple blocks up.

So the cop leans in to K and deadeyes him, saying, we're going to follow you up there, You will park the car and you will not drive again tonight, correct?

Yes SIR, belts Kirk.

Man, the good ol days!

Scenario like that plays out today and you’re prolly looking at 7K in fines and suspended license for 2 years.


In regards to this thread, I met the iceman. I can rest easy now.

[Woodsy]

I miss Basom.

Know he and d-day hang out in Boston a few times a year.

[BmillsSkier]

Wow..... the long forgotten names in that thread. Crazy.

Aren’t like a third of those Brett?

[XXX-er]

I used to just go out and fix office products which I actualy liked doing well enough, go out on the road to wrench 7 or 8 selectrics a day I was just a glorifyed mechanic in a suit on a big fucking road trip

Then one day a guy comes in the room, tells us we were gona be computer fixers, In spite of exactly zero education OR interest, I managed to keep at the HW gig while others faded away or whatever

At some point they gave all of us LT's, they gave us links to the mother corp, they told us to use the LT, they told us to become " E-centric " (their buzz word of the month)

I discovered that the www was just like a big fucking road map of the USA in that everything was connected to everything, I got on boatertalk, on TT.com, on NSMB, on TGR, pretty soon I had pages of links to paddle/ski/bike sites and all the associated products but I had zero IBM links

Cuz I could give zero fucks about computers, besides it all changed so fast if i needed info I would call the guy who knows what info i need and have him send me the link so I didnt have to know much, I just had to know the guy who knows everything

pretty soon I was spending too much time on line instead of fixing things, probably contributing to my corporate demise, fortunalty by then I was a 30 yar man ...I was golden

Anyone asks I say corporate life was like riding in a rodeo, you get on, you hang on, you ride to the bell

a whole lot of bull inbetween

[DaveTV]

Wow..... the long forgotten names in that thread. Crazy.

And you had the last word...

[KQ]

Aren’t like a third of those Brett?

LOL! No... no... quite a few were actual people like Lan and Scoober.

And you had the last word...

or something.............

This inspired me to look back and see when I signed up for all this. I am only at just over 18 years which makes sense as I used to read over the antics as I tried to get my now 18 year old boy to fall asleep.

[Aldo]

I miss the chat. I talked more there.

Splat told me about this thread so I had to pop in here to say hello. Yes, I'm still here, still hitting KW, and now I find myself lusting after hot Latina chicks in addition to hot Asian chicks.

mild bill, spicoli, tong hands, schmear, tyrone shoelaces, su pu, pinner, lemon boy, the Rev (who peeks in occasionally), klar, md9, pHunk, that was a stew of spantasmic now gone weirdos who could really get it rolling . the spirit is still here, icemang's keeping the ball in play.

Buster I am so sorry to hear about your momma. My late granny had dementia and spent the last 10 years of her life more or less in a vegetative state. Tough for everyone involved and it was a relief when she moved on to the next realm. Hope to ski with you and the other OGs sometime soon before all of us get too old to do crazy shit on skis.

If any of the maggs wanna hit KW or Japan, or join me for a fine evening cruising the SF Castro District, you know where to find me.

[DaveTV]

Some funny shit in there, Charles Webster Baer - is still around!
