[George Graves]

I apprenticed to a cabinet maker in a small family owned and operated shop. One of my first jobs when out on a dishwasher installation was to clean up the copper sweat fittings to reuse when the new dishwasher was installed. My boss would lie on his back with both arms stretched under the dishwasher and use a small propane torch to melt off elbows and unions which I then heated up and wire brushed with some flux to ready them for the next step. I had just set an elbow down next to my boss without cooling it with a wet rag. He reached down to his waist and was patting around for the now clean (but still smoking hot) copper fitting. He grabbed the hot fitting and almost had his hand back into the cramped space under the DW when he yelled and reflexively sat up banging his head. He had an odd dry sense of humor that I was learning to mimic so I asked, "That ain't hot is it Shaw?"

He was still sucking on a burnt finger but said, "Naw, it just didn't take me long to look at it..."

Some of Doug's weld burns remind me of that learning moment.

That was a hard read.

If I owned the bar/marina I would not want that load sitting there in that pickup truck, nor would I want him using the walkways and dock to move 55 gal drums to and from his mooring.

So what?

 

[SPatton]

I have rarely heard such a word salad string of bull shit spewed by one person like this idiot.

Wow.

That's rich coming from you.

All you do is spew your word salad bullshit in this thread, several posts a day, nothing but nonsense.

 

[SPatton]

Probably thinks that the welded in masts would prevent them from falling out when the boat turns turtle...

What's your evidence for that?

Yes, I thought as a lawyer you would have some understanding of property owner liability law.

I guess not.

I guess not.

Wait, you think my post shows that I don't understand property owner liability law?

How's that exactly?

Pay attention, capt.:

Floundering? Did Snaggs come up with that? I see a boat foundering though.

If a ship sinks after capsizing, or as a consequence of a leak in the hull or other water ingress, it may be described as having foundered or foundering. Large ships are designed with compartments to help preserve the necessary buoyancy.

Pay attention, capt.:

Surely you are not referring to Dugg, for he has claimed many times to not being the captain. However, as we now know, the " captain" of the boat featured in this dramatic video and who was rescued, is a fugitive of the law on now on the run.
