Mill's Race TR
To my fellow adventures. What follows is a Trip Report of my weekend
including the prestigious invitational Mill's Race. I started out Friday morning packing my gear for the race. I sold one of my boats in the afternoon. The buyer kept asking if he could crew with us on the Mill's Race, but alas, we had a full crew. Friday evening we began our journey. We had a great start, and after eighteen miles we were the first boat to the mark. We had passed every boat that started ahead of us. Usually on the second leg, fourteen miles, we are passing a parade of boats, but this time it felt good to be in the lead. Only three boats passed us. At the finish we were certain we took a second, but a boat behind us corrected on us. We took third place. A very good performance. Out of a starting fleet of 170 boats, one should be happy with a third place finish. We were. My mother was. She didn't raise any losers. Then I plundered the cashbox at the Boardwalk, and bought my crew the lobster bisque, pizza at Frostie's, and cases of wine from the Heineman Winery. No storms, no sea monsters this year. A very enjoyable race. Be the best and tell others to be their best. I can teach anyone to be a leader. I can teach anyone to be a winner. I even teach that piratey stuff so you can bring honor, glory, and treasure to your village. The results can be seen at www.toledoyachtclub.com And vote for Palin-Ahhnold in 2012 A mighty Hungarian warrior The blood of Attila runs through me |

As a small plug, my nephew, Andrew Dutterer, manages a huge fly fishing store in Maupin, OR, on the Deschutes River - Deschutes Angling. If you are ever in the area of the Deschutes and need information or equipment (they also rent), they can help. Andrew spends almost all his waking time exploring (when not working) the area. He has really gotten to know it well. Right now he's looking for undiscovered Native American pictographs in the Deschutes area. |

Hood. The first really serious skiing since my back surgery. All went very well. The surgeon even wants a picture from the camp to hang in his office. That was highly kind of him. Always be the best and tell others to be their best. That's leadership. Show others what leadership is all about. You can bring honor and glory among your people. Right now he's looking for undiscovered Native American pictographs in the Deschutes area. Always bring treasure back to your village, Clarence. Be the best, and tell others to be their best. That's part of leadership. And I've taught leadership for over thirty years. That's what Ronald Reagan would have wanted. And vote for Palin-Ahnold in 2012.

Three hours away. Didn't have the balls to show up and spew his **** in person. He has stalked me in real life, written defamatory and stalking emails to people who he thought employed me, lied to cops and a judge, etc. He has threatened my life and encouraged others to harm me. But he sure as hell isn't man enough to make good on his threats. What a pathetic, miserable excuse for a man! I'll stop by his cousin's shop and tell him all about the insane stalking of Dickless Vincent Walker. What is truly amusing is that I've seen Vinnie ski. Given his history of being involuntarily committed to mental institutions, the notion of Walker racing is truly crazy. He qualifies for the Special Olympics, given his mental health history, and that's the only place he'd win a race. |

You were in the Jam D class with eight other boats. http://www.yachtscoring.com/event_re...mber=1&eID=252 That said, third out of nine is a very respectable showing. I'm off to the North American Championships this weekend, and I'll be very very happy if I finish in the top third of the fleet. There are about 300 boats entered in the regatta, and my fleet has around 50. You haven't lived until you've started on a 50 boat starting line. //Walt |

What you did was not that it was stretching the truth to boast and that is not what a good leader does, dumbass. This is how you lose face with your troops, now learn from your transgression and become a great leader, dumbass. 3rd place team is always good no matter how many other teams are competing, no need to glamorize it tell it like it was, dumbass. Now back to leadership training... JQ Dancing on the edge |
