That's a good idea. I can't wait to see it after the visit to the boat beauty parlor.

Oh man, I laughed until I almost wet myself. As Larry the Cable Guy says, "In Lowes, I think they should put a sign up if they don't want people using them toilets in the plumbing section".

I hate those commercials. The one that gets me is "My ex-boyfriend just kicked down the door!". If he's kicked in the door, and you can identify him, do you really think he's going to run away just because the alarm went off? Or do you think the alarm company will call, not get an answer...

You forgot, "unless the fish are biting." Nice looking boats. Thinking about the next one yet?

Coffee is not a drink, it's a delivery system for God's gift to night owls, caffeine. It does not deserve your scorn. But what do I know. I gave up coffee, tea, and soft drinks two months ago, and now no one wants to be around me. I have a Senseo. If you're looking for a little gift or to...

Coming soon to a Rendezvous near you - Smoked Brisket Party Favors!

I guess the next question would be what other items can you omit or lighten? Use dowels for the breasthooks. Sit on the bottom or use a pair of canvas slings for a seat and backrest (for the contest, anyway) Leave out the inwales Use split PVC for the outwales / gunwales (Would it be lighter...

Relax, where are you going to find 5 women willing to hire you? :lol:

To me, the sad part is that the administration was probably correct. Not right, mind you, but correct. Wearing an American flag in America, in a High School of mostly (legal or illegal) Californian Mexican-Americans would probably have caused a fight. To bad the administrators didn't have a...

The 12 lb balsa canoe is the lightest wooden boat I've heard of. In other materials, you'd be hard to beat Geodesic Airolite Boats - 8lbs. Wood frame, kevlar roving, and heat-shrink dacron skin. http://www.gaboats.com/

I take that back. Only in California: Students Kicked Off Campus for Wearing American Flag Tees You'd never guess this is near San Francisco, right? Edit: Story here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/36981179/

SWMBO (She Who Must Be Obeyed) insists that ladies are people too. Or maybe that ladies are the only people, and men were badly domesticated.

If brown kraft paper is ruled "not wood", is there an inexpensive veneer that could be used with a skin-on-frame or birchbark-style frame? The frame could be made of cedar or birch, with balsa ribs. PS - Stumbled on this while googling: Voyage of the Paper Canoe 2500 miles in an 18 foot, 58...

John had just won first prize at a cat show and had received a 10-day cruise to the Puerto Rico. The catch was, though, pets weren't allowed on the cruise. So John decided to call his brother Al. Al agreed to come over to John's house and stay with their mom and the cat for the duration of...

Summer's the time for fresh fruits and vegetables, that's for sure. Try freezing seedless grapes or blueberries on a wax-paper covered cookie sheet. You can also use peaches, cantaloupe, or pineapple chunks on toothpicks. They're a little messier. Throw 'em in the cooler to munch on instead...

Three wheelers were even less stable than today's four wheelers. One of the problems is when the ATV is driving at an angle uphill or downhill. The government only tests stability straight ahead and behind, as if you were driving straight up or down a hill. Side to side tilt isn't tested, but...

Hey, I knew Tom Adduson. I worked with Tom Adduson. You, sir, are no Thomas Alvus Adduson. You're way too nice, and certainly too humble. PS - If you have been electrocuting elephants, don't tell us, k?

When I lived in San Diego, we joked that tap water came from the Colorado River, and you could taste every mile. Piper - are those iodine based?
