That's the beauty of getting to be an old fart. You recognize staying power
is one of the few things left that gets you out of bed in the morning. %^)


And not hydraulic pressure?

Staying power is what gets some of us _into_ bed.

If when arriving at a dock a sailboat douses the spinnaker in the
channel, has fenders out and lines stowed, sails into the slip while
dropping the main, stopping on a dime, then the captain and crew
will get nothing but a cold shoulder from the other sailors in
the marina.

If the sailboat: fouls the spinnaker in the channel and it goes
under the boat and gets stuck on the keel; half the fenders aren't
tied to the toe rail and are floating free and those that were
tied are tied on the wrong side; all the sheets are to the wind
and waves - along with the halyards, topping lift, preventer,
yardarm, boom-vang and out-haul; the boat is stranded in irons
in the middle of the lagoon trying to get the engine started
and finally comes into the slip sideways then everyone
will jump on the boat, lend a hand, declare the captain and crew
capital fellows and throw a party in their honor that evening.


For the truly creatively impaired ,....what Nicholas stated as
translated by me:

In other words it takes some skill to save yer arse, and not a lot
to show off :-)

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President,
or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong,
is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable
to the American public."--Theodore Roosevelt, May 7, 1918

This from the guy who admits to writing "with a Sharpie" on the back of
his test prints???

Maybe so, but it takes some courage to say exactly what you mean, while
any fool can play the smartass and leave people scratching their heads
before collectively ignoring him.

It would be a little more credible position to take without the
anonymous posting.

It's known as the Usenet club effect. They hide out in specialized
little niches, bouncing their prejudice and snobbery and supposed
expertise off one another while collectively defending against any
"interloper" who doesn't see things exactly the way they do. Some of
these forums would be far more interesting were it not for people like
them continually dominating the conversation but these assholes are
everywhere, just like in real life. Don't take stupid remarks
personally. Allow it to reflect upon those who offered them, like that
pedantic little moron who is attempting to get your attention right now.
