chitchat

SO, I don't really chitchat much, but I do like this blog idea, and I had been meaning to get a gmail account to go with my hotmail and yahoo and work accounts. I really like the way I can go right from the mail to the blog, to usenet groups, and post pictures. I had some on my jumpdrive that I linked below, want to see if it works

May Windsurfing

I'm here ....

Ok - I'm here. But I am an admitted rookie (moron) at the blogging thing. I guess I'll learn. I had no problem with the previous setup (thanks Henry!) Always good to hear what's going on up on the north coast.

Mary & I thoroughly enjoyed our weekend in C-land. Just great to hang out with Sean, Carl, Brad P & their wives. A fun concert, and even funner dinner beforehand at Rock Bottom Brewery.

First Post

Ok, maybe I'm retarded, but it took me all morning to figure out how to post on this blog. Granted, most of the time was spent figuring out how to reset my Gmail password (can tell how much I use that account, eh).

From here on out it will be easier, certainly.

We'll see how much traction we get from the rest of the listies. So... it's supposed to RAIN on Sunday? Boo. We've been having so much fun in the snow.

I like it. We used to have a scrolling text of windsurfing, & it was great. I this this blog will work out well. Hope it warms up soon!

BONC list DEMISE

To keep up with the times and not tax the geekboy while I am on vacation I have created a BONC web blog, this should eliminate the clutter in everyone's e-mail box as specific topics or events that one is not interested in or is not available for, will not need to be seen by everyone currently on the BONC list. I will be phasing out the list over the next several months. I have chosen the Google Blogspot.

Currently I have the settings set so anyone can post a new message or comment on an existing post. If/when it gets messy I will limit the postings to members of the blog only, so please find the time over the next few months to create a google account/password so you can post/read the blog as we up our security over the next year.

To find the blog type or bookmark:

www.boncs.blogspot.com
or
boncs.blogspot.com
works as well, give it a test post try

I hope you all see that this should be a better vehicle for communication, or to limit ones viewing, as the BONC list has grown to over 70 user e-mails our list to many has become a spammer or nuisence at times. The blog should minimize this but yet still keep us with a common communication and event spot.

If you intend to sail on a certain day, create a post of that topic, anyone looking to sail can spot the post and confirm the plan, however the rest of the list that have no intention to sail on that day (maybe in the winter) will not need to see the plan or delete from their inbox.

I have had a few members drop off of the BONC e-mail list recently because there was too much chit chat traffic. So in an attempt to keep these members in the loop when they are looking for getting together or maybe when they are in town, they can easily check the BLOG without having to weed thru multiple e-mails about beer and concerts and wood.

Do not get me wrong, I do not mind these OT posts, as they are fine by me, but those without a desk job that only check their e-mail every week or two get overwhelmed by BONC e-mails, in addition to all of the other VIAGRA adds and crap that they get slammed with.

So please start considering the move to the BLOG as an alternative, I will be posting to both venues for awhile until enough feel comfortable to the blog.

Thanks and...

BONC says BLOG ON!!!

BONC Blog

Who are we? We are BONC "Boardheads Of North Coast"!!!

It's pronounced "BONK"

We are an unorganized band of idiots that like to get together to do one thing... Get CRAZY!
We channel this energy towards the sport of self destruction.
The sport of choice is drinking, er-ah I mean windsurfing.
We meet a minimum of one night a week (Wednesdays) at the far West end of Mentor Headlands State Park Ohio, U.S.A. (in Nuclear conditions at Fairport) to imbibe in the adreniline rush of beach strolling, er-ah I mean windsurfing.
There are a few of us that actually tread out on the water, weather NOT permitting, to do one thing...
DRINK, er-I mean WINDSURF OUR FAT ASS'S OFF! (and then drink)
PLEASE, WON'T YOU JOIN US to RIDE ON!!!

This is the inaugural post creation to the BONC blog, as I went on vacation for a week and the normal mainteneance I perform on the BONC e-mail list had to be taken care of by Geekboy we had some spammers attack, so we will limit our susceptability to spammers and the like by trying to get a blog started for easy postings and communication, without the e-mail overloaded box mess.
