Hey Whitfield, what is the best thing out to clean off heavy oxidation on a boats surface? Mine is maroon, I can usually buff it out but after getting back out of the water most of it returns. I tried sealing with a good polish after buffing. Do I need the gelcoat to be re-cleared?

Had to take a break,its hot out there.Cable God,if the Gelcoat on your boats has enough mils thickness you can grid sand it, then buff it.It goes like this.Tools required,air jitterbug palm sander-###-####,-###-#### grit wet sand paper,large sander/buffer -###-#### rpm,2 buffing bonnets,coarse buffing compound,polishing compound,carpenters pencil,large sponge,water pail.
Draw a tic tack toe board all the way down her side.Start with 600,two passes each sand paper,each time you must re draw the grid,take the sponge fill it with water hold it above your sander ,let it run water between the sander and the glass,as you will see the pencil line will dissappear then you have taken off one layer,keep the sander moving ,keep it wet.This is a lengthy process with new boat results,if you have any other questions call me its a whole lot easyier to explain on the phone.Hope this helps.See Ya

Hey Terry, call Todd. He can put you on one. Did you forget, he lives up there?! He called me last night, while trolling four rigs on Fontana Lake. Anyway, he knows those mountains like the back of his hand. Take it easy and good luck with your next rodeo with Adelphia. Hope it goes a little smoother this time. Later.

Hey Doug, what would the banana cutters be for? LOL. I like that one alot. I prefer the 'ol trusty bell wrench that rides shotgun with me. You should of seen the look on that lineman's , or so he calls himself, face when I came in that warehouse with it in hand demanding my tools or his life. I got them back real quick. He didn't steal them though. He found my splice bag where it bounced off the bucket hooks and was trying to sell me my own shit back. He even blamed it on one of his guys that he fired earlier that week. There are some real pieces of shit out there, and I hope anyone who steals tools from another gets what is coming to him. Blowing his knee caps off would keep him from ever working cable again, unless he wants to be a bench tester! I take all my tools off the truck every night and put them in the room with me. That sucks that one has to do that to ensure he will have his shit in the morning so he can go out and make an honest living. How was the honeymoon? Why did you and Teri decide to get married after all this time? Hope things are going well for you. By the way, our good buddy SplicerLife, never would give me a time or place and I was in Cincinnati last Saturday night, just in case. Still had a great time though. Sure was looking forward to meeting him. Oh well, guess we're not buddies after all. I noticed that posting from Brett, do you have some splicing going on or something? How many miles is it, if so? Later.

Hey CableGod, I am not sure what your situation was, but I've known Dana a long time. He has worked for me and I for him, and never would think of fucking each other. I think we both know better. I am cutting for Todd Cody and he is one of the better ones in the business. He pays regardless of whether he gets paid or not, so I never have to worry about it. Dana has all the splicing, since USC got booted, and Todd is subbing it from him. Our crew is the only left, being Dana's guys are elsewhere. Manley went to Houston, but I never have had any problems with him. He seemed alright to me, but I tend to keep to myself at the end of the day. My brother and I have too hot of tempers to kick it out there in the lot drinking beer with the other hounds. You know how it goes, a few drinks and some have to say something stupid and the next thing you know your having to bust a head or two, then the law, etc... Anyway, I never partied with him, just worked around him and he was o.k. with me. Dana has always been stand up with us, both now and jobs in the past. Hell, how many guys writes you a check the day you turn your invoice in and hold no retainage? He's a good bro in my book.

Hey Larry, I'll tell Todd that on Monday. He'll get a chuckle off that one. I heard about some of those romps. Did you trade in the one you had for the 2001? Sure wish Kathy wasn't so anal about bikes. Her brother died on one and she hates them. Throw a fit whenever I mention wanting to buy one. Hope things are going good for ya, and your making lots of cash. If your going to Texas, you better be prepared to be miserable. Hottest fucking place I've ever worked, and I worked the Palm Desert in Cali. I guess it's all the humidity in Texas.

Whitfield, you lucky bastard! 23 footer huh? So does that mean you'll make me a deal on the skiff? I am back in the market for another boat. Wish I wouldn't of gotten rid of the one I had. I may get a house boat this time and put it on Lake James, or Fontana Lake. Even one of those Pontoons with a cabin on it. They have some really nice one's out now. Well, have fun, bro. Don't go sinking the damn thing! Mind if I borrow it sometime to deep six a few bodies? JK

I just has another UFO sighting, my 12th this alone. It was huvering over my trailer park for over 3 hours and I knew it was signaling for me to board but I was busy watching Pee Wee's Playhouse and I couldn't be bothered but I was watching through the front door. The Captain of the alien ship got pissed and acticvated the transmitter he installed in my anus 3 yeard ago and BOY o BOY.. man a live I got the shock of my life. I hate it when this thing in my ass go off and there ain't nothing I can do about it 'cept obay my orders. I was ordered to take complete control of the cable industry and that means take control of all contracters and subs and MSO's. I will use any means nessissary to gewt control. But there's a catch, I need money for this operation. the alians have no concept of money so I need to imrovise. Some one.. anyone please help me, I need money. If I succeeed, than I alone will control the cable world and I promise to make each and every one of you rich and you can have a T-40. My ass is telling me this is my dream and I will do it. Someof you think i;m strange, some thing I'm a dumb-ass and some thing I belong in a mental ward but I'm telling you that I have the keys to the world.. all I need is the money to make my dream come true. It really doesn't matter what you think of me, I promise to love you. Ok???
You can contact me anytime by beying at the moon, (it works best if it's a full moon) and I will answer.. especially if you have money. Listen, the ol' lady is sick of living in a 1976 single wide 1½ bedroom and ½ of a bathroom with 4 kids, 3 dogs, 2 cats and lots of chickens. not to mention the sheep.. but that's another story. She's also pissed that I make her drive a 1968 Bronko with only a wood seat. LOL, some people don't know how to live. I want to style! And I know how, I promise I will not make you look bad if you get me lots of money for my dream. Lets make $$$$$ "WHITFIELD"

Can I have some of whatever your smoking, Whitfield? Hey, Jay, you still in Ashville? Did you ever get ahold of Dana? There is some really good work coming up, like real soon, so you need to call him. If your still in Ashville, WHY? I keep hearing it is a three ring cirlce jerk there, and though it is close to home, that is the only way they can keep it a circus, is if everyone stays and puts up with it. I hate it when there is work close to home, but the job turns out to be a loosing adventure. Oh well, good luck, bro.
