Leroy,
I didn't mean and don't want to be or appear critical of you in any way. I
simply didn't understand what you were trying to say. I'm sorry the man took
offence. I think you have to have somewhat thick skin on occasion here. When
things aren't straight forward, either is written or spoken form, I sometimes
don't get it. Have always been that way. And some jokes I never get.
No hard feelings here and none there I sincerely hope.
That's all I want say on this now.

I started this so let me explain.

Yes, in fact it was cryptic..(ambiguous, hidden, and possibly occult with
Smoke and Mirrors. Even magic. )

The message was very simple. It was about the BB family. In a family you
cannot pick and choose components, you are in or your are out. I may be out
after this.

If we are to be a BB family, mechanical functions are just a part of the
family. While every owner is responsible for their own financial matters, we as
BB family members routinely express our opinion of value, and in doing so
somehow attempt to protect current members and wannabee's. Our efforts also
protect the value of our coaches. Value may not mean anything to anyone else,
but I will protect my interest in my coach, whatever it takes.( the most

I respectively invite you to review the original post. Some how you cannot own
a Hatteras '61 then a '74, while a M380 suddenly becomes a "little to rich for
my blood" (would that statement be cryptic?) I didn't make this up, I read the
post.

Being a prior owner of one of the finest offshore boats ever built (Warlock,
Corona, CA) , the post was not about boats, it was about family. It was cryptic,
and my brain is sideways. I'm protection the value of our coaches. <<<..>>>

Dale,
You are so right Bluebirds are the finest built motorhomes equal to a Hatteras
yacht. Also there is a great deal of comraderie amoung us and we hope you will
join us.
The ones of us that commmented on your Hatteras did so out of respect for the
high quality the name Hatteras emplies. I previously owned a SOB "Sea Ray". So
please don't be so thin skinned for you have friends here that you have not yet
met. [SOB = Some Other Brand]

Your comments are greatly appreciated and probing the character of the group
seems to have unearthed some really fine folks. I'm considering
a BB a "must have" now and look forward to meeting you all.
Maybe even on the boat, although it is actively for sale.

other small things but one at a time. but the issue at hand is i just asked a
question and thought would read reply on the site but am getting all this e mail
as if its an im its kinda annoying i think your forum is a good thing but am
getting messages such as yours not real familiar with the site yet maybe some
one can clue me in as to why im getting all these messages that arent rrelevant
to original question i had. sorry your was one of about 20 and growing. i almost
feel like im eaves dropping on other peoples buisness. i am open to people
talking to me but im just getting others replys to someonelse. im confused as to
why am getting these, but still have the leveling question in q/a thanks and
have a nice day. mike

Howard great idea...Living here along the SC coast on almost on the
ocean (thank goodness we don't enough upkeep as it is) I would be up
for that rally. I can just imagine the fresh grilled tuna, or
grouper. I have some great recipes.. I will cook Dale just bring
the boat, we live very close to the ICW.

Dale you have a fine boat there buddy. For sure. I am comming in late
on this thread, but I must tell ya, I have met some of my best
friends through the Bluebird Family. Guys that would drop what they
are doing to help out if something should happen. Folks that give up
tons of information, to the betterment of this community. Most of the
rallies I have attended and hosted have been absolutely the best of
times. Your assumption about a Blue Bird is correct, it is a fine
coach, like your boat. Quality stands the test of time. I am quite
confident that with a little time you will find the good far
outweighs the bad on this forum. Generally, someone "knows" the
answer to the question, almost as it is being asked. I am also a
licensed CG Capt. and it is much easier to navigate the BB, well
sometimes it is. :>)

Keep in mind that a comment, or statement can be hard to discern as
tongue in cheek when we only read some typed messages. So
Dale "welcome aboard" and enjoy the forum. ASK QUESTIONS about things
of interest. Pretty soon you will be "one of the buoys"
