The Thunder boats were never the same after the piston engines went away.
Turbine engines are cool and all, but nothing sounds like a Rolls Merlin.
It's true, nothing like a Rolls...but the reliability and durability of the turbines is very impressive in its own right. I like seeing all the boats come back in under power and not behind a tow rope. The sport has been on life support the last couple decades. It's sad as a Seattle kid who still loves the big boats.
My son asked for this and received it as his birthday present. FML.
You’re a great dad!
Start him with a heavy dose of hasselcrack and Alexander. Then some cris warren and Ricky waters. Sprinkle in some krieg and zorn with some largent and boz and you have a 12 rooted in tradition. Defense might help as well... One who can proudly tell those 12 naysayers to fuck off as he proudly proclaims he knows the history of the hawks.
The peer pressure amongst Seattle yoots to like the Sounders is skrong. I'm fighting the good fight to keep all Sounder gear from my home. Hawks gear is ubiquitous in 5 year old culture and I failed.
My daughters, 7 and 4, don't know shit about UW football and quite honestly they know when it's on tv to leave the room because dad becomes an asshole. On the other hand they both have Husky gear and wear it quite liberally. They have been bombarded with the block W since birth and associate it with me. They dress in purple every Saturday during the season and wear their jerseys to school. They give GO HUSKIES chants on game days and draw me block W pictures for my birthdays. My youngest (who I'm a little worried about) knows a handful of letters in the alphabet but the first letter she learned was W. Sorry Snow, this was a long winded way of sayin' you most defiantly failed the lad. Big time.
Since I am old I can relate this one - my daughter went to uofa, and she went to the football and bassetball games wearing UW (notice the correct use of caps here) gear. She was well trained
