very nice jack! I like the coral insert, makes me think of lost ships! My 84yr. old mother/law insisted I put her on facebook when she was alive. I was soon beckoned to her room "it's not doing anything" I told her it's working normal! I still get friend requests from her, I don't know how that works!

Hey Caddy, last time I saw you, you were sunning on the balcony at Tavares, glad you like your " concept boat-----Rich has one, Craig and GARY have one apiece, Scottie was going to get me to do one, but we somehow never got around to it.

Got the results of biopsy today. Actually, I consider it good news. Yes, I do have Transitional Cell Carcinoma (cancer) in my left kidney and ureter. However, it is early on and is 94+/-% "fixable" with surgical removal of kidney/ureter. As a bonus, will repair a hernia resultant of prostatectomy 3 years ago. Looking ahead to shower tonight without damn catheter/bag attached to my peck@@. As always, the worst part of anything like this is "not knowing". Well, now I know, and looking forward to moving ahead. Plus, I get to flirt with all of the Nurses . Especially, the one that I have been married to for 40 years. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine. Stayed up too late the other night writing a post to my favorite funny talking Old Fart Brit. So that's it for now. My forever gratitude to all that have provided encouragement. Not much in this life better than friends. - TTFN

I'd go along with that Don, sunken galleons, pieces of eight, one eyed pirates and treasure chests bursting at the seams?
Its called "Faith" I believe Don, I lost a lot of mine on this roller coaster we call life.
I once had shed loads of the stuff, but along the way there must have been a hole in my pocket, still have a few of the bigger bits left, (must have been a small hole I supose.

I think Old Blue was run basically with a plywood box over it - maybe not at the Lake so much, but any Oshkosh running was probably boxed up - I am sure the styling/marketing guys fought for a while before approving the cowling aspects. Mr. Hale can probably enlighten us a bit there - often styling came up with a cowl design and then it was up to Engineering to fit everything under it -

Was it ever so BERNIE ! Admin wielded the whip-----bright would be inventors came with the ideas,
engineers cobbled it together, threw it to the pretty boy designers to cover the thing up-----chuck it at marketing ------sales was up next-------last in line were the service guys who were the ones that made the suggestions on mods and improvements, until a viable product was out on the water.J.

Had a stellar day today-----remember I told you that I usually had two or four things on the go at once---------excelled meself this time, went a bit bonkers and have FIVE pieces well on the way to the shed. Will take some phoggies tomorrow.
Reason I got off to a flyer was because there was no internet connection on the iPad this morning and I didn't do the poncing about which is my usual habit-------cup of tea, morning kiss for Jilly, long tinkle, pound the iPad.
Swear blind the bloody thing knows it's past its sell by date and giving grief accordingly-----if you ever think of changing any of these devices, do it in secret, do not let the item know its about to be binned---------they can think!
Told you my grandson in law GARY Strake bought me a spot welder last time I was in the states---well I used it in anger on the TRAILOR I made last week. It's a MILLER and an awesome piece of kit and far superior to the junk they sell in harbour freight.
Recieved a few funny looks from the "customs occifers"when I took it on board as hand luggage, but it was worth the aching shoulder, from the plane to passport control is a sodding long walk.
He tells me he's just finished building a new "DYNO" that can take up to 3,000 HP. Jesus wept, where the hell is all this muscle going?
What a shame there is no sensible formula in boat racing today, outboard or inboard,it was gradually strangled by rules and regulations and American lawyers, do gooders and people purporting to know SOMETHING of powerboating who actually know very little little------but they do have huge egos.
First thing is to get a smart lawyer to contest the rules and regs------dump the old and draw up a new list-----but with common sense being the number one rule. Input please!
Its that time of night again, got a full day Thursday in the shop, not allowed in the shop Friday-----my 83rd birthday, Sister Ange coming to lunch , kids and relations plus a few mates calling in, so have to dress half tidy---------night everyone, MYGGWY.J.
