The elephant wouldn't even have a boat, having scuttled it along with the founding principles.

Yeah, I'll present well thought out walls'o'text based on those on forums where it's more the thing.

Here I think my biggest wall'o'text was a short analysis of the lure of organic rankine cycles.

I was going for a second subtle meaning (on the surface referencing the other poster, but also that the Republicans often just can seem to find their own asses).

The CIA can help them find it.

That looks like a set from Waterworld.

No, but I do have a unique learning disability, makes me very smart, but cant write to save my life.

so I can see how it would look, that I am not from this country in the way that I write.

here fill free to look me up https://www.facebook.com/outdoorplay this will show you whom I am

and this will show you I am not about the money as I do not allow any advertising or sponcors on my site. Its just a place for outdoorsmen to talk shop. Theoutdoorsforum.com and I pay for it out of my pocket

I do not now if this is against the rules, so if it does please fill free to delet my URL's

Do you remember some years ago when Congress found a hundred million dollars that they'd misplaced?

No partisan point, just reminding everyone to always rifle through your representative's or senator's office couch when you visit their office ... you might get lucky!

It does look odd with 9 cylinders, that big pipe (which would do what?), sitting perfectly level with not a bit of the rest of the ship (?) to be seen.
I did an image search but the results refer back to blared's gallery. It's a mystery.

I found this though, and it reminded me of a sign I saw about 40 years ago in a tavern in Theilman, Minnesota...

Over the last few months, my wife and I have negotiated the purchase of the very first boat I was ever commissioned to design--Corroboree. I received the commission in 1984 and she was built for American owners in New Zealand in 1986-87 out of Western Red Cedar, Kauri, and epoxy. She came to the US on a container ship in 1988 and has sailed the Great Lakes ever since. My wife and I had been looking for a boat to buy, and this has always been one of my favorites, for obvious reasons. The son of my original owner has owned it for a number of years, and he was in a position to sell it, as we were to buy it. Long story short, after sea trials, marine survey, etc., etc., she arrived this afternoon on a truck from Michigan, and is now sitting in her new home St. Augustine. We'll be on the hard for a few months making repairs and upgrades, and we'll be sailing this summer after a long, long time off the water.

A new life begins.

Nice looking vessel Eric.

I'll have to stop by the yard someday when I get back down to St Augustine,...sometime around Christmas. I had to come back up to DC for a few weeks on some unfinished business. .....And I certainly want to get out of this coming winter's weather!

That's a little close for my comfort.
I prefer to stay far upwind from our politicians.

Of all the comments on the review for sugar free Haribo Bears I'm most fond of the one that we should send some to folks in Congress to express our gratitude.

If you've not heard, these lil'monsters apparently have a trifecta of powerful laxative agents in place of bad-for-you sugar. Another reviewer called them, iirc, the gummy bear cleanse.
