Once the shower is cleaned, use Clear Shower and spray it on after every shower while the glass is still wet. I've been keeping my clear glass shower doors clean this way for years.

I'm heading out for a few days and won't be checking in here. Will this silly thread still be going on when I get back?:d

Beautiful!!

Bachman going down in flames would be sweet, indeed!

I'd go with Yankee Tender also. The boat was in last week's season finale. It definately had a flat bottom.
Was wondering when someone would post about it!

Well, the woodburning I've got down to a science: I burn wood in the woodstove all winter!:d


I was at Mystic Seaport years ago and visiting the boatbuilding shop where they were working on a...

Good enough to build a boat that floats, but not a true artist.

My wife let's me have bacon once a year on my birthday...

Here's to a speedy recovery, Jamie.

I would have thought you'd be under doctor's orders to stay out of the Bilge for a while.:D

Looks like it's got 20lbs of epoxy on it!

Got a phone call at dawn yesterday that my 33-year old nephew died from a sudden brain aneurysm.
Leaves behind a young wife, 2-year old son and unborn child. He's my sister's youngest child. ...

Warm would be nice!!:)

The economy is having a devastating effect on schools. My wife's old school district is laying off over 80 tenured teachers with 8-10 years experience. As a result, class sizes are getting too...

Well, we need the rain anyway.
Plus, with my bad shoulder, I can't do much outdoors.
Have to attend a funeral this week, so the rain will match my mood...

I was wondering about that myself. Do renters have the same protection against search that homeowners do? I would think so.
An what's with those morons stealing a stop sign and taking it home to...

Well, it's all very simple. The pro-gun folk believe that once the government knows of your firepower, they now know where to come to take it away. Their paranoia of black helicopters eclipses...

My health insurance is good, so no problems. Once you strap on those skis, you assume all liability for injury, even if the other guy is at fault. There are informal "rules of the road" for skiing...

I've a friend with a nice 34-footer on Lake Champlain who will take me out anytime. Problem is, I don't dare do it. One bad wave and I bang the bad shoulder on something and it all comes undone.

Just found out that I need rotator cuff surgery. June 5th. Won't be able to pick up a tool until at least November.
So, in November I will hopefully be posting pics of new progress and a Spring...

Shoulder surgery coming up.
Some of you might remember me mentioning in another thread that I was injured in a high speed skiing accident six weeks ago. Well, the MRI shows a totally torn rotator...

Make sure you take plenty of pictures of the festivities! Wishing you good weather and fair winds.

I must confess that I had something similiar. A customer gave it to me just to get it out of his backyard. The seats were missing, so I put in some wooden ones. This was a dink to be left chained...

Great story and a beautiful boat. Thanks for sharing. I admire a sailor who can get around without an engine once in a while ( I can't!).
But....wait a minute..... what material is that dink made...

Well, no black helicopters came to take me away. My life is soooo boring...

Anyway, after not hearing from me on the internet, I recieved a paper survey in the mail today.
Wow, do they get...

Heavy frost here this morning. Frost the last three mornings. Should finally warm up for good in the next few days. One ski trail is still open at nearby Killington Mountain ski area.
The wife...

I think the big Fella from Jersey is a crafty old fox. Every Republican will vote for him, whether they love or hate him ( remember a guy named Mitt Romney?). By hugging Obama, he appears moderate...

His father was an immigrant from Cuba during their revolution. So, was he (the father) ever a U.S. citizen to begin with? The mother was born in Delaware. I don't know how long they lived in Canada,...

Many years ago, I had a hot-moulded 20' Highlander. Nice sailboat. It got smashed up in 1985 by Hurricane Gloria. I had to repair a few holes in the hull.

Beautiful! Somehow, I missed this thread. Now, I'll have to read the whole thing. Love those ventilated doors.
Will that trash cabinet stay closed while on the opposite tack? Extra latch to keep...

Famous last words, " Be careful with that, Honey, it's loaded."


If there are some Democrats that have to sacrifice their political careers in a quest to protect American lives, I honor them.

Was Obama president at the time? No? Therefore, no outrage.
It's all political theater and lawyer tricks to discredit Hillary for 2016.
Maybe it'll piss her off enough to definately run for...

The last paragraph is what got me. We had everything planned perfectly until I suffered a career ending injury three years before we wanted to retire. We still retired on time, but with a lot less...

Sorry to hear. My wife and I just had to put our 17 year old cat to sleep last week. Heartbreaking.
Sixteen years is a blessing for any dog, so just cherish and remember the time together.

These are my questions also! Looks like a great project. Probably impossible to sell in the future, but if it's for your personnal satisfaction, more power to you.
Centerboard? Aux. power? ...

I sold my "big" boat many years ago when I realized that my family simply did not want to sail and the boat was spending too much time on the mooring. After spending four years building and three...

I think you've hit the nail on the head with that remark. If you're going to race these extreme boats, keep at least one hull in the water. Flying through the water on the edge of a knife is nuts....

R.I.P.
Bring back the 12 meters and some sanity to this sport.

Yawn....
The GOP is SO desparate that they'll stoop to anything. They're just hoping that if they scream "Benghazi cover-up" enough times, someone other than their own sleazy politians and...

My mother has been making her stews and spagetti sauces in the same cast iron pot for close to 70 years. It'll probably go to my sister. I'll take the house.:D

She is, without a doubt, the most accomplished woman in American history.
Name one other with such a resume who has had as much influence on American politics.

I've a lot of admiration for Bill Clinton. That's why I'm still pissed at him for the Monica scandal. I still believe it cost Gore the election.
Sexual scandel knows no party lines. They both...

Rumors have it that there are big cats in Vermont also. Couple of years ago, we found large scat in the middle of the gravel road in front of our house. I thought it was black bear scat since they...

Small surprise. That state would elect the devil before a Democrat.
House Republicans are going to be very uncomfortable around this guy.
They don't want him there, either.

I can remember the last time they came out on Long Island, NY. What a frikkin' racket. Now that I live in vermont, it's nothing but peace and quiet, with the occasional shotgun blast from a hunter....

Wait a minute, here... You guys are actually talking golf??? Aren't we supposed to be ranting about what is or isn't being said on the course by these guys?? Come on, this is the Bilge! Let's get...

It was a celebration of their win over the rational people of this country on gun control. Their victory in guaranteeing anyone, including the mentally ill, their God-given right to slaughter the...

Not really. A bad fall at work destroyed my ability to be a profitable carpenter. And, at age 55, I was unemployable. No one at that age can change careers. No one will even look at your resume...

Being retired, I only ski midweek. I look around while I'm in the summit lodge having lunch and notice I'm the youngest person there.
Give me a shout next winter and we'll hook up for a day of...

I guess it's an acquired taste, much like beer. Don't care to watch it myself, but I can appreciate the driving skill needed. I was driving in heavy traffic this past weekend. Hundreds of cars...

I ruined my original knees doing 35 years worth of carpentry. Had them both replaced five years ago and they're doing fine.
Orthopedic doc says that skiing is OK, but within limits. No moguls, no...

Rossignol. About ten years old, but they still work and release just fine. Last month, some 200 lb idiot slammed into me going about 30mph. Now I know what it feels like to be sacked by a...
