randall

thanks stephan....thats kinda what i figured. the next question is it computer controlled like a stealth fighter or can a human have enough "touch" to keep it in trim. especially solo.

randall

no way....the boats in nova scotia..................where there is no ethanol.

randall

paper today said it was engine removal . not likely.

randall

i'm far more interested in the keel design. i'm assuming there are two or its moveable. cause it sure aint parallel to the mast.

randall

i don't bob but i'll pay attention.

randall

Randall, Do you offer these for sale or is this one of those "if you have to ask" moments? I cant imagine the time that goes into these its what i do for a living. i have a few galleries that sell them and i do a lot of commission work. the "cutting board" on the contest page is owned by bob le bla...

randall

its a contest i have no chance of winning because i'm not doing to much in the way of campaigning but this is the "popular" part. the judging part is the real prize...but what the hey....thanks!!

randall

no not running for office. just click vote.....thanks

randall

have fun...say hi!

randall

i tried to get it back on course but the thread got "recalculated" .

randall

rookie mistake.....using the wrong straight edge and way too much pressure to score a line on a sculpture rough out. i taped a tea bag to it for 24 hours and that stopped the bleeding. gonna leave a nice scar!

randall

i was 22 and pretty much surfing every day. my room mate's mom was dating him. he lived in beruit. our house was the secret rendezvous. i kept it to myself for obvious reasons.

randall

another good mob non fiction book is "the westies"

i'm a little surprised no one wants to know why sam giancana was in my kitchen.

randall

well to return the complement and get this thread back on track.... "if anyone here has a problem i could help them with and fails to ask me.....i will consider it a personal affront" (or words to that effect). Vic Roy BTW...my pointer finger on my left hand has a gruesome wound at the moment. no on...

randall

well. since this thread is hopelessly off course i'll add this.

as a young man sam giancana was standing behind me in the kitchen watching me slice tomatoes. he says "hey kid...you're pretty sure handed with that knife.....looking for work?"

this is a true story......but he was joking.

randall

if its in honolulu....i'm in.

randall

nice gert!!!...on all counts.

randall

my childhood is unimaginable today. from the age of 4 or 5 we were on our own after school till dinner. we had a secret hideout deep in the woods and our parents had no idea where we were. we went to the bay and went swimming and we were the only ones there. after about third grade we played sports ...

randall

a rotary phone? ours had no means of dialing. you spoke to the operator "number please"...i had a party line as late as 72. oh right...you're older than me!

randall

all 25......AND....i sat in the peanut gallery. if you are old enough you will know what that means.

randall

go surfing, fish from the kayak and canoe, play with the inflateable........................go fishing on OTHER PEOPLE'S boats. do absolutely NO work on boats other than washing the blood off the deck.

(with some exceptions for Predator)

randall

er...what is that thing? they dont have those here.

randall

thanks.....fun way to start the day. like the tube shot and the snowboard stuff........some things i can relate to....some.....not so much!!

randall

randall

brewster....very sorry for your loss.

however, it kinda explains that apple- tree thing. you didn't fall far!

randall

thanks.....my dad flew 56 combat missions. of his original crew of 13....3 survived the war.

randall

great story....but the comments don't agree.

randall

a well placed bullet would put it out of it's misery!

randall

goes for surf forecasting also...my favorite is to look at the cam and see something completely different from the "report". hell ..forget forecasting....they get it wrong in real time.

randall

it always amazes me that my grand ma was born on a dairy farm in a house with no electric or plumbing, before there were paved roads , before airplanes..........and lived to see a man walk on the moon. (not to mention elvis on TV) unless they go to teleportation or time travel.....there will never b...

randall

good call UV.....it was 10-0 when i went out. i was somewhat surprised by the out come. they are # 1 as far as i can tell.

randall

what.....no wading to breakfast?

randall

and thats just this universe....there could be billions of others beyond our awareness.

randall

from todays paper.......just sayin'

randall

happy birthday harry!! . i think the truth is its not THAT hard if you are a talented machinist with the time and inclination.....but ...there is a lot of creative thought also. this isnt a scale model.....its a very small working simulation. the rocker arms and valve springs are very impressive. i'...

randall

yikes!!!.........love it.

randall

i might be a yankee but i do it the UV way. foam brushes- round file. looks like sprayed. all my art work is water based so its easy to clean.

neat trick.......if you figure out how to clean rollers let me know.

randall

peter...thats a great example and i think is exactly correct. everything seems to work in waves and cycles. of course i could open a whole new can of worms (not for fishing) and discuss how over population is really the culprit behind all the other problems, but i'm tired so i'll just let it slide. ...

randall

as to fox....mange killed em. we used to be inundated with them. doing great on the deer and turkey front however. i see them both every morning on my walk to get the paper. two books worth reading are "barrows boys" and "a view from lazy point". barrow was obsessed with finding the north west passa...

randall

well....i can give you the book i'm reading right now. it has a different eye witness account. there are plenty of bears (the population has increased)....they are just moving to land....the question is... is it sustainable? my friend murry's been to the north pole 3 times (he didnt go swimming but ...

randall

yesterday was the warmest nov 28th in history here. about last winter.....it snowed a lot , which i like as i X country skied every day for an hour after lunch, but it wasn't cold. lots of days i skied in just a sweater. about polar bears.....not going to argue global warming or its causes or not bu...

randall

nice!!

randall

WOW!!

randall

really makes you want to go fishing!!

randall

or the bike thread?

randall

well....when you advertise your boat as a floating condo ..........

randall

harry....great minds think alike...exactly my reaction.

a whole web site devoted to ugly boats.................the rendezvous must be a hoot!!

the one i posted is uglier in person....trust me on this one.

randall

found it....

randall

i cant find it but i had a link to an ad "silverton....your floating condo"..you can't make this stuff up!.

BTW...the ugliest boat ever made is on the hard at a marina in hampton bays. i mean REAL ugly.
