I AM OFFICIALLY MACGREGORLESS

[pokerrick1]

Thanks, but I'm a Nevada/California guy. Plenty of opportunities here and Tahoe ain't bad

Rick,
This post has gone a little sideways, but I am referring to back to your original posted msg.
(I've been out sailing for three days, pardon me!)

Occasionally I've found myself in a position to do some slight good for a few people on this planet.
It's no big deal. I (used to ) make way too much money and I've spent a little of it helping a few people out.

I've read your often humorous, sometimes poignent, posts for several years. You've shot me some
encouragement/advice once in a while. Your comments have always been appreciated.

This business of handing off your boat to a nice family for cheap is frankly stunning to me.
I don't get all wanky about movie ideas like "pay it forward", but I have some vague intrinsic understanding the things
you do and the way you live come back to you in multiples. I practise it, but I don't run into it very often. Good for you.

If you're ever in Alberta,
I am the world's worst poker player,
Look me up,

Laurie.

Hi Rick,

Sad indeed about being boatless. I've been there just now. Sold the 26D and bought a Venture 23, was boatless during the rigging time of the 23. You should be ready for another Mac any day now. Jeff and I miss seeing you in MDR, course we miss MDR even without you. Know you are having a good time in Vegas. There is another storm comming, want to be in a movie? It wont hurt, just a little sting.

PS MDR has got to be one of the overall best places to sail out of in the world - - - such great weather, winds and destinations.

That might work for you, but my Scots blood is from the Clan Mackay ...


Bratach bann Chlann Aoidh!

(Rick, my heart goes out to you about your boatless status. I just posted this to tease Highlander.)

Ive been in this position a few times. When the Lord has been good to you it is good to pay it forward. I dumped my old car and had a couple of people looking at it - some college kids offered 4000 bucks and I ended up selling it to a single mom, working 18 jobs to make ends meet, for 1500 bucks. I didnt feel 2500 bucks poorer, I felt 1M richer...

[pokerrick1]

That's it, Steph. The couple I sold it to - - - he works three jobs and she works two and they have a 4 year old boy and 5 year old girl and they have a hard time finding things they can afford to do with the kids. I can make more money if I need to - - - they can't!

PS Of course Richandlori and the RW MIGHT feel differently?- - - if he does he can start a thread in the back room.

I can tell you that Rich has a heart of generosity that is as large as anyone I know..its a bit dangerous to characterise someone from their posts...especially a 'trouble-maker' like me..

[waternwaves]

especially a 'trouble-maker' like me.

Such troublemakers are very welcome on my decks........

Sometimes, we all have to go against the flow
