It's Official, Bridgeport, Connecticut Is A Dismal Town
« on: October 12, 2010, 07:20:41 PM »
As a weary worker, far from home, the 11 hour days including last Sat. & Sun. in the truly depressing town of Bridgeport, is wearing thin.

Staying at an Extended Stay place, with a lousy mattress.  :-\  

But the money's good, the overtime's kickin', the crew is grateful me and the other two guys I'm up here with are helping finish the boat up for the trip south to the Ft. Laud. show. We'll be back on her down there to tidy up some loose ends.

I'll have some pics later this week.  But she's a big girl, with all the bells and whistles. Sea-trial scheduled Thursday.



Perspective, there are two men on the bow.

P.S. Glad I got wifi to keep in touch with DRTV, and just going to grind it out.  Always feels better when I can vent, debate with FQ, or congratulate a new purchase for a member.

But seriously Bridgeport is a tired, 1/2 vacant, kinda run down N.E. town that still has bad drivers. :P

Thanks for the rant.

Quit your whining and get that thing done - I'm waiting on delivery.  I'm going to be the talk of Pueblo reservoir.   ;D

Yea TW...

Just about anything west of New Haven is just a suburb of NYC.  Another city I'll never visit again!

Be safe!

Some people don't know when they have it made.

Pictures from the movie "Overboard" come to mind.

Nice tw.

Been to business in Bridgeport a couple of times.  Not a pleasant place to be, and yep, sort of dead too.

I sure understand, I hate being sent away for work!  Seems like I always get sent to some place I really don’t want to be, and something always goes wrong.

But looking at that “Big Girl” I can’t help but wonder about who is spending that kind of cash in this economy?

Great pic Badgersmilk, if the Gov. continues on the same path, that is all our money will be worth!
