"We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics. They will only grow louder and more dissonant. We've been asked to pause for a reality check. We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.


But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about HOPE."

Senator Barack Obama
January 8th, 2008

One well used and abused advisor for sale - Make Best Offer

Late 90’s model student group advisor v2.0, running the AllyOS v10 and equipped with gaydar 9.5. Model seems to have a weak spark and is having troubles being an advisor to Keweenaw Pride. Unit has seen heavy use but lately has begun adopting too many of the bad habits of the current generation 2005-2008 models of the Student models including apathy, laziness and their single minded self interested purposes/needs.

Unit may still be useful but is in definite need of an involved, interested and community building focused Student models. Definitely a fixer-upper unit.

Advisor unit is a support unit and not a leadership unit. Advisor has upgraded memory, high level technical and listening skills and has the following upgrades:
- Non-Alcohol fueled
- Good Advice matrix was installed after high level listening skills
- Generous and caring improvements
- Tough love and confidence building hardware is integrated into personality matrix
- Unit has highest level drama shielding available on the market

Advisor unit does have some warn out parts in need of some time off
- Nagging and guilt add-ons is completely warn out and appears ineffective with 2005 or higher model students
- Patience is worn thin
- Bullshit detector seems stuck in the on position with 2005 or higher student models
- Disappointment meter has been strained and can not take any additional load without causing harm to users.

Taking all offers, make your best offer and we’ll see what we can do. If unit is not sold or repaired by March the unit will be taken out of service.

Got a new(to me) boat today.. Larson Citation, 175 HP and red..

First order of business is to get her cleaned up and ready to go, gotta get the trailer hitch on the truck upgraded and a bolt for the ski-pole. After that it's time for the naming/re-naming cermony. I've got a call into the previous owner to see if it had a name, if it did there is a fairly complex procedure to rename the boat, if not there is still a fairly complex procedure to name a boat the first time.

It's new name will be... and the geekiest thing I've probably ever done... is... drumroll...
