I'm not saying I don't enjoy waiting to see if Grad's is going to blow up his paddleboard with a Willie Peter flare, of course I don't want him to get hurt, but the stories are funny as shit. But there's nothing I can add to it, it is what it is. I enjoy your jokes, I enjoy the pictures here, I enjoy the boat events being covered. But I'm not looking for new friends or a group to drink with. But that's just me, unlike what 2manymustangs believes and enjoys, there's a lot of us who boat because it often offers the opportunity to get away from people and the crowds. I don't care what the hoards are doing up at the sandbar or copper canyon, it's easy enough to boat the opposite or stay home those weekends.
Like Bob said, those that find here what they're seeking will stay and perhaps in time they'll be welcomed into the inner circle, or not and leave.
Hey, at least I'm posting
I'm not looking for new friends either. I have enough of them and even that many is too many. I'm a work-a-holic and beyond that, a homebody if I don't have work to do.

As it relates to boating, I used boating the same way, find a channel and get away from the busyness of life. I use the forum the same way. Although some might not think so, I'm a VERY busy person with what I do. I just manage it really really really well and it allows me to flip through forums and post throughout the day in between the crazy never ending tasks I do. I post because it takes me away from the monotony of what I do. I always have to be doing four things at once.
