If a naked body is so awful for kids to look at, why are all the F*** Biden flags & bumper stickers OK?

Whether you go for floorboards or benches, may I suggest making up a couple of "seats" that hook over the coamings & allow you to sit on the deck? IOW - the outer portion is the height of the...

Darn galvanized fasteners. I get that bronze is expensive, but seeing what iron/steel does to beautiful boats makes me really sad.

If let go too far, they are also a PITA to get rid of & can...

Just watch out for your skin turning green & muscles expanding enough to shred your shirt...

More seriously - I hope it goes well & gets rid of that damn stuff!

Has CA gotten some rain or sumpin' Jake? ;)

Looking kinda raw with potential for mudslides.

The koolaid is strong. Quoting the Constitution at us when these people did their best to attack Congress????? Roughly 1,000 cases takes some time. As far as I'm concerned, every one - whether...

And even more - unless bigoted parents get to them - kids don't care about bi/gay/straight or white/black/brown. Kids just see them as people.

And - how could Kevin's kid not have personality? :)

I know a couple of construction companies that work 4 10 hour days - so they still get their 40 hours plus the savings on setting up & closing up on the 5th day. IOW - they get a little more done.

But we have at least one member of Congress visiting convicted Jan 6 folks in their cells high-fiving them & calling where they are "The Patriot Wing".

You've got to be joking. That's precisely what his plan is.

They already have. Maybe indirectly, but ask one to write a support document for Jan.1 & then ask it to write one against it. Or - one in support of the last election being stolen, etc. etc.

Wow. Anyone here ride the schoolbus? Talk about sex started well before the 6th grade.

I just don't get the mindset of this whole thing. This country is so, so screwed up.

Nothing - other than an American (lamely?) commenting on UK accents. This American had no problem at all understanding them.

Yaknow - after I submitted my post I asked myself the same question. I guess you can - though it could mean added cost for some businesses. I'm also guessing there are some regulations that limit...

Can't do it for all jobs, but where you can, it's great. When I worked at a sawmill, I worked 4 10 hour days. Loved that extra day off. Friends run an auto repair shop & have switched to Mon-Thur...

I can answer that! Yes.

:)

Gotta say that the barn is looking handsome!

Yep. However, when an abscess squirts 1/2 a teaspoon of foul green pus into your mouth, antibiotics might be a good idea.

Thanks Paul! Nice to see more realistic cars - though small. Love that they're not big names.

I want the Lotus.

Different strokes... I never found adjusting the carbs when I replaced the air filter (extra 10 minutes) to be particularly onerous.

That's 'cause he's all decked out for the photo shoot

:p

OK - but please fix the rust sooner rather than later. There's a reason mechanics call it cancer...

I'll shut up now.

OK - I probably won't...

Ha! I did it the same way as SUs on a car - stethoscope with the end piece removed so I could hear each carb in its own ear. On SUs I could get them much better synched than with a UniSyn. I still...

I 'spose it is worth having one - but can't get psyched for it.

This abscess was way worse than my 4 wisdom teeth being pulled at once. I will say that this pain was of shorter duration though.

I think I'm going to have to report you. All I have to do is figure out who to report you to.

Actually, upon further consideration, I think fessing up to such a heinous crime on the WBF is close...

Please take care & do what the docs want.

Today is my 70th birthday & I was already unhappy enough about that when at a family dinner to celebrate it last night, chewing became painful & after...

Nope.

How often do you need to drop float bowls unless you run dodgy petrol? And - on my Commando, as well as a Bonneville, I could have the whole manifold(s) & carb(s) off in 30 minutes. My 650 Tiger...

Chris - completely valid points on the B. However, as a person who has lived & worked as a mechanic in the land of car rust, I'll offer a caution: rust damage is one of the most expensive things to...

I never went that far, but took some art history courses & was taken to museums starting at a young age & even saw the Mona Lisa in NYC when I was 10. I had seen many nude statues & paintings by...

I also have to add compliments on the Montreal. Gorgeous! The idea of stripping & replacing an Italian wiring harness spooks me though - I've spent too many hours in Fiat wiring.

If you haven't...

By northeast standards, that car looks like a steal.

So - you never took your kids to a museum? I don't know anyone with statues of any sort at home.

Is he a Dukh Driver? Does he run the go kart track?

:)

Screw this. I guess making fun of dumb s*** isn't allowed any more.

Closing the thread to avoid further aggravation.

I was (mostly) responding to Ted.

They'll produce whatever you ask them to. Ask for a comment on a topic that makes Trump look bad & you'll get one. Ask for one that makes him look good & you'll get one. They also happily write...

Yup. I truly started this thread to poke fun @ GM & the US. Maybe I just need to close it.

WTH? I started this thread as a commentary on the idiocy of GM and the people who would buy such a monstrosity.

If you didn't get that "best war possible to be green" was sarcasm, you really need...

As has been said on the WBF before (I'm paraphrasing), we'll have sparkly pink unicorns before we amend the constitution. That phrase may tell you who said it...

Anyway - the important thing is...

Do as I say, not as I do. Another modern day Republican mantra.

Rich Jones' thread on building a 17' launch: http://forum.woodenboat.com/showthread.php?197939-14th-Star-18-Palmer-Fantail-Launch&highlight=palmer

Probably smaller than what your engine would be...

If the parent has done their job, the kid knows. He/she may snicker because of peer pressure, but a kid should know.

That's long been the case. For example, early 2000's Passat has 8 ball joints & 2 tie rod ends. in 2010 or so the kit for the whole front end was $1800US at VW. $350US @ a local parts store & I...

Yes - welcome! Definitely a cool boat. I have a 60's vintage fiberglass Dyer Dhow (9'6") as a tender & there are striking similarities with your boat: same centerboard trunk shape, boom design,...

Welcome to the forum & what a cool engine! If you're looking for plan ideas, I think you posted in exactly the right place.

That engine could power lots of things: a launch, a small cabin...

None of them do this. I just had the Bing "AI" write me some SQL code (for their own database!) this morning & while it got close, I had to fix a few things. None can write a line of code in the...

It's important to remember that this software is not Artificial Intelligence. It's software that can learn, but it's choices/"decisions" are controlled by code that a person wrote.

I was sitting in a car dealership in MA (had to take a Mini in for dealer only work & there was no dealer in VT at the time). Anyway I saw a car pulling into the parking lot next door & saw the kid...
