I think it's his office or campaign or something that's making the swag now. I didn't batten anything. I boarded up the windows, moved the motorcycle to higher ground in the garage, put the cars up on jack stands, and bought some water and snickers. I had a small 1man sailboat in the garage incase the storm surge got too bad ;) -Kyle On Tue, Aug 31, 2010 at 4:47 PM, paul annen <[email protected]> wrote: wow realy????? damn... are you charging for correct usages (aka sail stiffening)?? traditional battens were actually made of wale bone....

And most battens are too flexible. Again, I am charging $5 for all utterances of both phrases. They're actually selling hats and tshirts with those phrases in Houston now. :P -Kyle On Tue, Aug 31, 2010 at 4:35 PM, paul annen <[email protected]> wrote: funny... true battens have nothing to do with hatches... they are set in sails to help keep there shape... and i never got that message when on the aircraft carrier... it was simply "tooweeeeeeoooooeeet, now rig for foul weather" ... got to love it On Tue, Aug 31, 2010 at 5:28 PM, surfswab <[email protected]> wrote: Aye, mate. The Navy has an understated way of announcing prep for a storm at sea: "Tooweeeweeeeet -- Now cover over...cover over all hatches and gun barrels...prepare for a fresh water wetdown" AKA battening. Overusers of "battening" and "hunkering" are the young, dumb TV reporters, looking to make their chops with "on the scene" reports of a hurricane's "actual" strength, usually from a relatively tame remote location where there's little wind and rain and no airborne debris. I like to see one strap himself to something solid and ride out a Category 5 from start to finish. Now that would be something to write home about. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
