Hey Don,ain't you up awefully late(or early) ? Glad to hear that you
have managed to recover property previously owned by yourself. That
thief doesn't know just how very lucky he is to be living on the
other side of the planet from Big Bad Bruce Hector and myself!!!!
Why.....had we been there with you,we would have properly stoked the
furnace with some high octane juice,sipped through straws,while we
applied our "Easy Pirate Make-up" kit onto our otherwise angelic
visages and,once properly made up,would have crawled into our
favourite boatbuilding duds,you know the ones that can now stand up
all by themselves and have been known to keep bees,rabid dogs and
small children away.Yessirree matey! The natives would have been
restless that night,for even Gods' small creatures would have
trembled from tree tops on high and dusty burrows down low with our
sure stealthy and stinky approach! Aye,and he would have been a very
brave man to have resisted our gallant rescue of your punt for
nothing could have stopped us after the second bottle,I swear!, and
as a parting shot,a quick voiding of our filled-to-capacity bladders
right smack into that blokes gas tank would have sent that bugger a
clear and direct message;"DON'T MESS WITH DON,YA BASTARD!"
Yup,I tell ya,he just doesn't know how very lucky he is indeed! It's
almost enough to make a man take up religion again.


Happy wintertime,you antipodean......:-)


Sincerely,

Peter"The Pissing Pirate" Lenihan, who has yet to be charged with
inciting a riot,raping or pillaging despite multiple attempts with at
least two of these sorid anti-social type behaviors,from along the
damned hot shores of the St.Lawrence..............
