I'd be tempted to put some motion-actvated lights in certain places that might be accessed nocturnally, like the path to the head. I did this for an aging relative, just cheap battery-powered or...

This Old Truman Show

Think for a moment about why it is rare, they built a lot of them back then.

Flatheads in general are not good at dispersing heat from the head evenly, not to mention being less efficient that...

I figured out a way to make a pdf of the thread so far. It's not pretty, but the words and photos are there. I'll put a link in this post when it's done uploading. If there's an objection from our...

I'm going to build a traditional boat as soon as I can find a large enough log to hollow out. Although I hear about a new process where they burn the core out to save time...

Duh, thanks. Obviously not a scientist here.

Keep trying with various search engines. I found a new-looking folding Northill a couple years ago, shackle and all, was advertised on a forum I hadn't heard of before.

Is 95559 a lucky number?

First of all, beautiful! Can one add sailing capability? I thought some were sail and oar from threads here.

If only they could build a few clones while they're at it...

Looks really good! Did you fill in the boo-boo?

I have a tool which makes it easy. Install this in Firefox or there's a version for Seamonkey, and then right-click on the photo in the first post and choose Google in the submenu.

Use your new...

What about the day things don't go as expected?

Can't see the page. If someone puts it on the internet I'll have a look.

Ditto with the Gflex in squeeze bottles, bought mine in 2009. The little kit with mixing tubs and spatulas and some filler all in one little clamshell works well for this occasional user.

The problem with these is they don't always stay in place and cannot be glued. On a boat, a hole falling to a lower position than installed could be disastrous. Even if one just lands on the cabin...

Oooohhhh!

I can hear the water rilling around this boat already, sounding the hull; beautiful attention to detail.

I agree that taking the time to post photos is a lot of work, often unrecognised as such....

I remember riding a Brooks bicycle saddle that had been soaked in Neatsfoot oil. It kept seeping back out. Then the leather got hard anyway. Pointless stuff.

Beautiful, that shot from the rear is heart-stopping.

Can't help being enthralled by the mechanical detailing and craftsmanship on these. For a while my grandfather got Gas Engine Magazine and I used to look through them when I visited, wonder if that...

There's a Guzzi shop in California that sells relined clutches. He might be able to refer you to the company that does it...http://www.motoguzziclassics.com/MGCContact1.asp

Whoever it is does...

Yep, a contractor in motion tends to stay in motion. I've been sent somewhere for "2-3 days" and it went over a year. I think they downplay the length because they want to shop around for someone...

The couple were released, say that the other fellow convinced them it was his yacht. http://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/2-duped-sailboat-theft-suspects-released-4333568.php

Not a Proa according to comments in the linked thread. Further down is a photo of the cockpit. Like very much, interior is wonderful.

Can't agree more.

If I jumped on it and got it running, would it be mine?

This one abandoned. http://www.businessinsider.com/abandoned-russian-cruise-ship-adrift-2013-2

Gerarddm, what is that rack with jars on the workbench, are those small parts in baby food jars or jam jars, mebbee? Where did you get that rack?

Also, how many of these shops are now finding room...

I stopped reading Dilbert as of today. Obviously not meant for me.

I thought the 34' Tangeroa I lived on was adequate. If I was living with someone else, the two hulls would also provide some personal space when needed. They seem to take rerigging with aplomb, given...

Nice and well-kept boat. I'm tempted...

Also a good bearing seal popper if the seal isn't stuck too firmly. Newer ones are weaker in this regard.

Another option, try the free office suite from LibreOffice, which I have found to be more reliable than MS Word, to open more legacy doc and other text files than Word, and which is free to try and...

Something to think about the next time you hear some corporate shill radio agitator whining about over-regulation. Because regulations just pop out of nowhere and mug poor old innocent business...

Chris, that was a lot of fun, makes me want to go up there and nose around myself. Thank you for putting those up along with the story of them.

One reason to look at an Android tablet is on some they can be put in Airplane Mode so they don't use up the battery on comm, but the GPS will still be on. When I hike this allows a lot more...

Hey Robert,

Best not to post images from your computer directly. Try one of the photo services or maybe your ISP gives you some webspace so you can upload them and link from there.

If you want...

What if the glass was literally half-empty?/

If meant kindly: A shaving of woodbutchers.

If meant unkindly: A splinter of woodbutchers.

If it's any comfort, one collective noun for a group of doves is "piteousness". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_collective_nouns

Saw that, interesting how they used them as casinos, just like Raymond Chandler wrote in some of his stories. And it suggests that what he called Bay City was Santa Monica. I agree that it is strange...

I used a 3" "space foam" mattress topper for the bed on my boat, it could easily be cut to size or doubled. It came with some kind of poly slipcover, bought at Costco. Suggest a poly cover next to...

High ZDDP oils aren't easy to find and specs change. I have a motorcycle with flat tappets, Valvoline VR-1 20-50 dino works very well and is reasonable to buy, Mobil1 20-50 V-Twin is very high in...

One of my favorite catalogs ever.
