I was busying going here


For those who don't know, it's where Evel Knievel jumped the Snake River (almost jumped?)


oh yeah, and getting Buick parts

It's not too often that other guy misses these.

we get glimpses of what it costs to build that boat... wonder if its resale would recoup the build cost.

for example, casting was 60k, the motor is 97k, just the oak for the ribs was easily 200k to buy, cut, mill and deliver from Georgia.

or the tl;dr, is that a million dollar boat?

Have you guys ever had the city tag your sidewalk and tell you to fix it or they'll do it for you and send you the bill? It's your sidewalk.

Yep, 66 feet of it!

who wouldn't have a shipyard?... looking great, Loren

[Loren]

Sweet, it worked.

If you click remember me when you log in it'll stop doing that. I forget to click it all the time and it does the same thing

[Loren]

Tried to post a photo like ten times, site keeps logging me out for inactivity, after that many seconds. Oh well.

My neighbors don't seem to mind my mess. I try to keep a good selection of the normal tools around...including shipyard equipment as one does.

I have a neighbor - ironically, her name is Karen. She complained that my Studebaker could be seen from her house. I sent her a note and said "here's the list of cars that you will see from your property, should you continue to complain.... she stopped complaining... I was so looking forward to the "tire pile" one on the list. As I said, my neighbors are mighty peaceful-like....

Lol, I've got two new permanent neighbors and they both have cool cars. The Karens are self exterminating slowly but surely. There's certain forces you just don't go up against.

Yeah having property is hard to beat but they really did mellow out after I threatened to sue the city. Telling me I couldn't keep my wrecker on my property topped the cake.

It was like wow I don't remember an HOA being in the contract when I bought my house and you people really do understand this isn't a rental, right?
