GOOD BYE BTExpress HNT

I sold my boat, the BTExpress, this week. We had 10 great years on that boat. I think my most favorite times on the boat was the summers I put up my pool behind the boats. Everyone hanging out, eating and drinking to abandon. Great times!


We spent most weekends during the summer at the Watch Hill Marina on the Fire Island National Seashore. Once a year we'd take a trip with our friends on our boats. Usually it was out east to Shelter Island or the Montauk Yacht Club. One year we even went to Newport, Rhode Island.

This picture was taken by our friends Dan & Sue while we were cruising across the Peconic Bay here on Long Island and the way I prefer to remember her. Bye, bye BTExpress, I'll never forget you.

You can read the rest of the story in my last post, here.

Happy, Yet Sad, HNT!

HOLY CRAP! Even Lynn made an HNT post this week too. Check it out.

The SS BTExpress is no more

I finally sold my boat, so I'm sure it will have a new name very soon. I sold it for a lot less than I wanted to, but in this day and age, I was happy to just sell it. I know there are some things that have deteriorated and don't work while the boat has been in storage, but the man that bought it, is a home re modeler and used to build boats years ago, so that didn't scare him away. But it's a fiberglass boat that I took very good care of, so he can fix anything it needs. Since I gave him such a good deal, he has plenty of equity to make repairs.

I also gave him so much extra stuff I had for the boat. All stuff that was taking up room here, so I figured I just give it to him. He was very appreciative. His wife about wet her pants when I told her I had A LOT of stuff left from when I cleaned my basement and she was welcome to whatever she wanted. She almost filled her van she took so much. I was thrilled to give the stuff away. Either she took it, or I have to haul it to Goodwill.

Speaking of the price of gas, you think your gas is expensive? Just trying buying gas for a boat. It's up to $5.30 a gallon at marinas now. I think that was a major hold up on getting rid of the boat. The boat has two 150 gallon gas tanks, so it will take about $1,600 to fill it up. I filled the gas tanks before I put it in storage five years ago, so they should make it through the season before they have to put gas in it again. It burns about 25 gallons per hour and they make one short 15-20 minute trip each week, so that should work out fine, for now.

I'm sad to see the boat go, because we spent 10 very good years on that boat and it holds many good memories. But it makes it a lot easier selling it to the family I sold it to. They have three young kids, oldest is 13, and they had out grown their old 34 foot boat. This one is is 39 feet long and just what they were looking for. I'm certain they will get as much enjoyment out of the boat as we did. My son was about 13 when we got the boat, so I know.

Due to Popular Demand..............

........... I'm making a new post so my HNT lily white ass picture moves down the page out of view.

How was your weekend? Mine was a good one. Yesterday Lynn and I went to the charity pig roast we have been going to the last two years with some friends. We brought Lynn's oldest daughter and our friends brought their three girls. There was all the wine, beer, soda, battled water and food you could eat. Also a band, face painting, balloon animals, a large assortment of party favors for the kids. They raffled off so many things donated by local business, but we didn't win anything this year.

We left around 7:00 and went back to our friends house for a while. We were hot and tired, but the kids begged and pleaded that we come over, so we did. We met them in March, hit it off with them and have seen each other almost every weekend since. Last weekend we went to their place of the daughter's Sweet 16 party. This weekend was for the pig roast and next weekend we're going over for a Fourth of July BBQ. I'm sure they will be spending a lot of time here as soon as I get the area around the swimming pool project completed, which hopefully will be done by the middle of July.

Oh yea, I never told you about that project did I? I'm meeting with the builder next week, so I'll fill you in after the meeting.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN HNT

KISS MY LILLY WHITE ASS!

I wasn't going to participate this week, but decided not to let THEM bring me down that far. I've only missed one week since I started doing HNT and I'm not about to stop now.

Happy Ass Kissing HNT!

PS
The reason I moved here is in the post below.

Welcome to my new home

Sorry to worry you, but I had to hide my blogs ASAP. I'm fine, just upset.

As many of you know, my in laws have pretty much ignored us since my wife passed away. I gave making contact with them one last time right before Mother's Day. I sent my mother in law flowers. One of the things I said in the card was, "I don't know what we did blah, blah, blah". I didn't hear from her until yesterday when I received a thank you card.

It started off well, with thanking me for taking such good care of her daughter and that she will never forget it. Then there was a big BUT and then it got a little bit cryptic with things like "my escapades", and "if I showed up at her place with another woman, it would kill her to see that she replaced her daughter" and "have a good life".

I wanted clarification, so I called her. I could tell she was very uncomfortable talking to me when I asked her to clarify what "escapades" meant. She hemmed and hawed and then put my sister in law on. She told me that she had found me online and that she told everyone in the family what she saw.

I thought about it all night and finally put it all together. They found my blog.

You know that I held almost nothing back about my life in my blog. The good, the bad, the ugly and the naughty side of my life for a very long time. They didn't like that I was dating someone and fell in love (i.e., replacing my late wife), which I'm sure triggered them to ignore me. They read things I've said critical of them avoiding my wife during her illness. They read my HNTs, which can be pretty naughty sometimes. They read many things that they didn't like, became very judgmental and wanted me out of their life. That's what I was told yesterday.

To keep them from learning anymore about me and my life, I deleted my YouTube account (with several naughty videos) and I closed my regular and HNT blogs.

That about it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I will still be visiting your blogs under my old name to keep this blog private, but will not use it here. Matter a fact, I'm not going use any of the names I've ever used, real or not, so please don't use them here. My name shall now be Joseph, my girl friend's Lynn and my son's Anthony.

Last but not least, I'll leave this post up for a while, then delete it. I just wanted to let you, my friends, know why I did what I did.

I have an itch HNT

That I just have to scratch.

Damn that feels good.


Happy Itchy HNT!

How was your weekend?

Mine was a good one. It was a three-day weekend, so I had an extra day with Lori.

Long weekends with my baby is a special treat.

Friday we got pizza for dinner like we always do.

We love pizza.

Saturday we ran a few errands and then went grocery shopping.

I love grocery shopping. Yea, I know that's weird, but humor me.

I made brats with sauerkraut for dinner. I added a little brown sugar and caraway seeds to give it a special touch.

Try it, you'll like it!

Sunday we went to our real life friends place for a BBQ. We had a great time and stayed longer than we should have. The girls got drunk and started........

Wait! I promised I wouldn't tell and said too much already.

Monday we stayed home all day lounging in bed until it was time for me to start dinner at 1:00. I made slow cooked baby back ribs, so had to start it super early.

Hey, I'm a late sleeper, so 1:00 is super early to me.

I cleaned the ribs and even removed the membrane on the bone side.

The only great baby back rib is ones that have the membrane removed.

Then I made my own rub, rubbed it one real liberally and then let the ribs sit for a while so they would absorb the rub flavors.

Absorbed flavor it best.

When it was time to cook them, I turned on the oven.

I didn't want the ribs to dry out on the grill, so I baked them at 250 degrees for about three hours before I put them on the grill.

Next I put the ribs on the grill with indirect heat for another hour or so.

Sounds like I know what I'm doing, doesn't it? Thanks to Google, I did.

While I waited for the ribs to slow cook, I made cole slaw.

Thank you for the prepackaged shredded cabbage and Marie's dressing. Don't tell anyone, k?

Soon it was time to put the BBQ sauce on the ribs and finish cooking them.

Apply sauce liberally.

While the ribs browned, I made the corn on the cob. I love corn on the cob.

This time of year frozen corn is best. The fresh stuff is too small and even more tasteless.

Soon the ribs and corn was done and it was time to eat.

I was friggin starved by now.

We pigged out and enjoyed a great meal.

Damn, it was good!

Then Lori cleaned up.

You remember, I cook, she cleans up.

The cleaning was soon done and we retired to the bed chamber for debauchery and other naughty stuff.

And it was good.

We watched a movie too.

A horror for Lori and a sex one for me. Well, her too.

Then we cuddled and held each other tight until we fell asleep.

No, that was until I started sweating profusely and then Lori moved over.

All in all, except for the profuse sweating, a great weekend was had by all.

How was your weekend?
