Masstoberfest going out on the water this year?

 

[balrog]

I am only going on a boating Masstoberfest if the pizza oven goes on the boat also.

Probably not, but I think scallops will be on the menu. LOL Not.

Scallop pizza. No red sauce, olive oil, tons of garlic, red pepper flakes and cheese. Life altering.

 

[balrog]

...but does Manhattan Style Scallop Pizza have red sauce?

NO!

Well, I would come to Mass for that!
I'm going to be in Alaska until late September, though.

 

[paulthenurse]

I aim for the last weekend in September. Just saying.

Bay or sea? Scallops that is.

 

[paulthenurse]

Since they’re usually ones I’ve hunted they’re sea. Any jamoke from Newark can catch bay scallops.

 

[Dland]

Last time I checked, they cost about $35 a pound to buy, probably 2018, in season.

To get them yourself probably about $90-200 per # or more, depending on method of harvest, unless your time is not worth that much and you need to get out over the cold winter mud ..... in an old outboard w a sorting trough and hopefully a hoist arm...., briggs & s motor slip winch.

If everybody dived for them, both types of scallops, instead of dragging the bottom, it would be a lot better. Commercial draggers doing damage to bottom on big scale.

 

[paulthenurse]

A tank of air costs $10.

 

[Dland]

Not counting cost of boat ownership? Don't blame you, it can ruin the fun.

 

[paulthenurse]

I only factor those costs in when I want to talk about how much it costs me for striped bass. Since my boat is apparently made of fish repellent I’m up around $12,000.00 a pound.

The scuba stuff doesn’t count. I’d be doing that anyways, the occasional dinner is gravy.

It's not the boat that's made of fish repellant...

Location, location…

That was unkind.

Funny as hell but unkind.

 

[paulthenurse]

Yes H2BM. Yet another wrong location. It’s like someone calls ahead and tells the fish. Then the scaley little bastards all gather around and amuse themselves stealing my bait and swarming under my fish finder and they laugh laugh laugh. I hates fishes to pieces.

Couple random thoughts:
1) Happy early Dad’s Day
2) Why does WY1007 go volcanic sometimes; and
3) The Flowering Pear tree finally has the yearly pollen poachers

 

[paulthenurse]

If Barbara Walters asked me if I were a tree what kind of tree I would be, I’d be a swamp oak. All gnarly and not good for much except being obstinate and cross purposed.

If I were a steak I’d be Kobe beef. Luscious, tasty, and deliciously fatty.
.

At least I shared some with Alice.

[paulthenurse]

What’s the first rule of fight club?

 

[balrog]

“Share Kobe steak with Alice”?

 

[paulthenurse]

No. That would never be the answer. She doesn’t like steak. I know. She’s got her faults,

Fortunately I don’t.

OK, what’s the first rule of boating?

 

[day_trippr]

"Always keep the dry side up!"

Cheers!

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Don't buy one.

 

[paulthenurse]

Good guesses. No.
Put the f’ing drain plug in before you leave the dock.

You avoid a major areshole pucker and jumping over the side to jam a “Thank God Alice left this stuck between a few cushions!” wine cork into the hole. Managed to make it back to the ramp and back into the trailer and spent an hour letting it drain. Then I was able to retrieve the plug from the door panel of my truck where I left it last fall and plug the bitch up.

Fark me, I’m getting kind of old for this sort of entertainment.

 

[homebeerbrewer]

Please tell me there's a video of this...

 

[balrog]

Right. This is the thread where "pics or it didn't happen" was born.

I think.
