Just thought I'd intro myself on the forum.
Birth name is Scott, screenname is Sherpa.
41, married, 3 girls all under 8.....
been boating since birth, (Tahiti w/95 merc)
from the folks, and I have an 88 master-raft
prostar owned since new. still looks new.
I've ALWAYS loved ***boats, flat's and hydro's..
always wanted one, but something kept me from
buying. now that I've actually got a little
money, (don't ask to borrow any though..lol)
I'm almost looking for a flat. prefer a Cole
or sanger or howard. live in san jose, and
enjoy the delta, and have been to almost every
lake from 200-6000 foot elevation.....
--just wanted to say hello... so, bash the
newbie if you feel so inclined.....
oh yeah, I've been going to Red Bluff for over
28 years..............

well thank you Rich,
I have been lurking or a little* while, (must admit to checking into the pics*** threads alot.)
been grazing at dragboats.com for a long time, but
I think Randy doesn't set up the site for user-
freindly stuff at all.
I frequent a couple hard-core 4x4 sites mostly,
but I gotta admit, I love boats more than 4x4s.
Tools are my game though. welding/equipment fab
is my hobbie.
thanks for the welcome.

Welcome Sherpa, to this board, and to the real world boating that comes with the flat/hydro bug! Once you have one, you'll never go back!! As far as bashing the "new guy", most of the people here are too busy bashing each other, to bother with the new people.....Alot of great people here, alot of good advice, good stories, and general boating knowledge floating around....3 little girls huh, man, you're in trouble in about 6 years!!!....You'll find alot of family type people here, enjoying the water with their kids, which is how our sport survives into future generations.........Welcome, Moneypitt

Welcome to the wrong side of sanity Sherpa. I'm a Taurus. I enjoy walks in the rain, sunrises, sunsets, puppies (not the dogs), pussies (the cats, ya perverts), a good fart or belch (is there any other kind?), snow angels, any kisses (hey, gimme a break; I'm old), and bein' held after..... Oh yeah; and ya wanna hear somethin' scary? After readin' all that; I'm not even one of the characters ya need to watch out for around here! :p

thanks all for the warm-water invite.
to a few: Mandelon-- I somehow thought that your
avatar was possibly your wife. so, being nice I
thought to never make a comment regarding her.
but then I saw the post about strangecosmos....
oh man, it that a nice place........
the meaning of the name Sherpa: actually 2 meanings. 1: the obvious, the little guys that
carry equipment long distances up very steep hills.
but the main definition: conjured by a long-
time buddy way back from jr hi....
sherpa-rig: A very ugly mismatched-parts assembled
bastard-ized vehicle only built for one reason.
to run the piss out of without regard for any
styling, appeal, or fashion........
these vehicles are commonly found in places like:
Oroville, ca. Palermo, hamilton city, Rio Lindo,
etc..........
ok, moving along, the garage-fridge is always loaded with mixed-beers, but the garage-attack-
cat is posting guard duty, so beware.
tool pics soon to come.......
oh, and if you've read this far, sorry, you will
not be refunded, nor will you get back the 2.75
minutes of your life it took to peruve this thread. nothing else to see here, move along.
oh, and regarding the "armstrong-power" comment,
I can always dish shit out, even on myself. (I
dis-arm my opponent much quicker that way.
