If you believe frugality=stupity and/or poor economics,consider this. H L Hunt brown bagged lunch. Do any of you question his ability to handle money? How many slip renters and dock owners can you name who are more intelegent than Mr Hunt? Kind of a stretch, but OK.
Snobbery has no bounds. A Frisco Tx HOA took it on them selves to dictate what kind of vehicle residents can not drive and took a property owner to task over his new,undamaged,factory color(read common) F-150. As was mentioned earlier, if he signed on, he should havre read the rules. If he did not like the enforcement, he could move.
Is it probable a person can pour fuel from a can into a tank without incedent? Those who specialize in fuel handeling(not from arm chairs) agree handling anhydrous ammonia and propane is far more hazardous than gasoline and diesel. I was taught at 11yo by my 17yo brother to handel all 4 and went on to handel thousands of transfers(as did my brothers and numerous other youngersters)without incedent. And,BTW,regarding diy boat repair,same youngsters made minior on the spot equipment repairs and adjustments. Don't you think a 20+ man should be able to pour fuel in his boat without causing concurn? I don't think anyone questioned any specific persons ability, just the practice in general, for multiple reasons. I may be fully trained & qualified to defuse a bomb, but trust me, you don't want me practicing next to your house.
Ok, I know about your neighbor's crack head son but that's one out of how many?
I believe post #1 set a sorry tone by using disparaging terms to discribe the subject then going on to talk about law enforcment being involved. First off, when I referenced Jim-Bob, Bubba or whoever, rest assured it was an attempt at comedy. While in "Bama", I frequently use the reference. Noboby has complained yet. Personaly,I would be a little miffed to find out my taxs were spent refereeing rules made by yacht clubs,gated communities, country clubs and such. Law enforcement is not limited to inside the city limits. I pay some serious taxes & If a slip neighbor calls the police, I want them there investigating. I may be wrong about Bama but Texas would view this as non criminal activity and a public servent would be repermanded for wasting public resources. I'm sure we both could find bigger fish to fry than this.
Point is,it appears to me some have used this as a springboard in an attempting to place themselves above others in one form or other. Has live and let live gone out of style?
Nothing personal, just had to reply.
