We are not old.... We are "elegantly seasoned". However, the name "Elegantly Seasoned Farts Forever" (ESFF) seems to lose something in the translation.

Just a subtle hint!!!!!
Well...Good Morning Rich - Before I go...and I must in a few minutes, your acronym sounds like something I have heard OFF before. As you know, and others soon will, a certain similar acronym will soon bubble to the surface again. In the not too distant future, the Forums will light up with announcements.

more lake X
All I did was endurance at X. I remember Driving I/O's that were quite noisy and if I recall didn't run well when it rained and if I recall the 21 boat was a larger white boat that ran 1100's or twin 50's. The thing I hated the most was the barge I did some bad stuff off the barge. All in retaliation of course because I was such a angel I'll tell the stories latter. I'm not sure about the boat numbers anymore.Please help me out on that if you can. I do remember a hole in the 21 if that's the right number and how it got there I can't remember if we had to wear life jackets? Did we ? I feal real bad that I can't remember names !!!!!!! Some of your names sound familiar but I just am not sure on who is who. I do remember Joe and those T bones he cooked I liked him a little better than Clarence but not by much ! I remember lots of deserts . The food was the best

Am sure glad to see some new blood on this thread,,,,,,,, With regards to Jackie stepping out for a beer, anyone who keeps his name tag upside down, just to see his name is definitely 4 years older than dirt,,,,,,,,,

Also as old as dirt maybe not as much fertilizer !!!!!!
I think I'll talk about the time the bosses were gone to a meeting.We were doing day shift endurance and some of us decided to start doing zig zag thu the trees. We were having a blast ! One of the guys decided to stop to pee. Not a dry thing to do I decided to give him a bath. I don't remember what boat I had but it turned very sharp and really threw the water ! I soaked him and he fell on his back. Well,one of the new guys decided to do the same thing I did. He had the 21(I think)when you turned it sharp it would slide and not dig in right away. BAM ! he hit the guys boat really hard I thought for a moment he would flip but everyone was OK Not so for the 21 ! Biggg Hole in the front port side or right side if port is suppose to be left ???? It was just above the waterline. Now what do we do

Port is left.
In English all the short words are on one side and all the long words are on the other:
Port . Starboard
Left . Right
Red . Green

Musky Bill- Hole in # 21 Boat
Sorry I haven't been back to finish the story of this event. We sat for a while in our little cove, out of the line of sight of the timing tower. We were trying to decide what to do next about the hole in the boat. I'm not sure what story we made up but no one got fired. However, the guy that had the #21 boat spent a few days learning how to patch fiberglass - on his own time. All for now till I'm feeling better.
I've got more stories, but would love to hear your questions and comments.
