Thanks for posting.

My wife's "boat-building-radar" is on high alert right now.
I haven't built a boat in two years, the normal time between builds.
Hmmm.... what shall I build next?

I believe the above picture was taken when that hand gesture was the common one used when saying the pledge of allegiance way back when. It was replaced with the hand over the heart in the 1930's...

When I pass through the Pearly Gates I'm hoping there is a 65' schooner waiting for me.

I did the same to my cathedral ceiling with pine 1x8 boards.
You will never regret screwing the 1x4 strapping in place.
A little extra work but you never have to worry about the nails loosening as...

I might live in Vermont now but I was born on Long Island, raised in the Adirondacks and now live here.
My accent is totally screwed up!

Never got above 0 (F) here today.
Should be up in the thirties tomorrow.

Smoke is probably from the explosion or could be water vapor from the heat of the explosion.

Adorable. (Your granddaughter, not the dog).

My heart breaks a little bit when we leave our little granddaughters.
The seven-month-old just made a milestone today; she learned to crawl.

I'd go take a picture of our local waterfall but it's too frikkin' cold!

Actually, I had never heard of "corking a seam" until I watched the Tally-Ho videos.
To me, it is "caulking a seam".

There. I have spoken again.

Let's take the military term lieutenant.

I believe they are the size of a NYC bus, complete with vomit, beer and chewing gum
on the floor. :)
The "bus" sized things are the solar panels and probably not that heavy although I wouldn't...

The party's over.
It's time to call it a day.
They've burst your pretty balloon
and taken the moon away.
Its time to wind up the masquerade.
Just make your mind up
the piper must be paid.

-20 here in my part of Vermont. Some ski areas didn't even bother to open. Others opened but at deduced hours and limited ski lifts running.
Saturday is dump day around here. I didn't even bother...

If mentioned above decks in any of the other Forum categories, gentile discussion would follow this question.
Down here in the Bilge, however, it just might lead to fist-a-cuffs. :d

It is...

I hope we soon learn how the U.S. downed the thing and what it had onboard.

Just heard it's been shot down off the N.Carolina coast.

I take a good healthy dose of reliable news once a day. I would suggest you do likewise and purge FOX from your system.
Interesting that you left out the good economic news when quoting my post....

It's a shame that this story is sucking all the air out of what should be the big story today.
Well over 500,000 new jobs added last month. Way above estimates.
Unemployment down to 3.4%, the...

I'm wondering is the Dept of Defense is blasting the thing with radio/satellite jamming devices but won't tell us because it's classified.

The troubling question is when it was first detected....

I was a bit surprised about the glued together teak top. Biscuits could help but only time will tell.

Frankie the Cat doing what he does best.

So why doesn't the U.S. pop this thing and bring it down?

Captain Lint has a few days to design and build a laser before it reaches Philly.
He can then shoot it down from his front porch.

I have a Woodstock Soapstone stove that I bought 25 years ago.
It's got a catalytic burner that burns the gases in the smoke.
I replaced all of the guts a few years ago when they either rusted or...

I heard that he has been wrong over 60% of the time since this custom began.
Spring is a long way off for us.
Tomorrow's forecast is for -20F with 30mph winds.
Cold, but it's a dry cold. :d

^ Not to begin a thread drift but....
Start lofting now. Build your station molds.
Start building components. Make some sawdust!
The ANNIE design is one of the most beautiful boats I've ever...

This.

When I wired my house, code called for a switch at the top of the basement stairs, one at the bottom and one by the back door to control the basement (ground level) lights.
This was before the...

Is it coming or going? :d

Matt Murphy just responded to my thread up in WoodenBoat Magazine and quelled any fears.
He is the interim moderator for now and upgrades to the forum are forthcoming in the next few weeks.

Thank you for posting and giving a good explanation of what's to come.

Today Santos "voluntarily" stepped down from his committee assignments until his legal troubles are resolved.
What BS.
I wonder what pressure McCarthy and other high level GOP critters used to get...

Bengal #58, who made the fatal 15 yd penalty which allowed a KC win, was sobbing on the bench after the game.
I think he's gonna have to take a separate flight home.

Should be a good Superbowl.

:d:d

I was thinking this was going to be a cute grandchild thread.
But, those little lambs are cute!

This game is over at halftime.
Gonna take a nap and be ready for the Chiefs game.

-Eeyore

Yeah... not good.
Plus the Eagles were given a TD when the refs missed an incomplete pass.
4th string QB has been a bench sitter for 10 years and is doing terribly.

I watched the Pelosi attack video.
Some nutters will still say he wasn't hit in the head with the hammer since the
actual strike wasn't recorded, just the guy swinging the hammer for his head....

I'm thinking "hippa violation". The hippa laws were drilled into us during training but in this instance I didn't ask for a name, just a description.
It's an excellent mid-sized hospital that...

Arriving at the hospital today for my volunteer shift, I am handed a notice that there is a credible threat going on. An "Individual" has been sending threatening emails and texts to staff and board...

Plus, his show "Jay Leno's Garage" just got cancelled.
Bummer.

Well, it's good to know that there is at least someone home.
I just wish they would pop in and say hello.

Hopefully this link will help. Post #51 second photo shows how I dealt with the end of the stem....

I opened a thread above decks in WoodenBoat Magazine hoping to get a response from management. No luck so far.

Welcome to the Forum!
I'll dig out my set of the plans tomorrow and take a look.
I seem to remember scratching my head over that point also.

My agent is checking into it.

I don't think Paul Pless will have a smart dog story since he's always
calling his dog ****head. :d

My wife and I only have had cats.
When I was a kid we had a dog, but "smart" wasn't a term...

I'm hoping that the management of WoodenBoat will introduce us to the new administrator of this Forum.
Scot Bell did an awesome job, and we'd love to meet his replacement.
Will there be one...

It would be nice if the new "Scot" introduced himself/herself to the entire Forum.
