We're on a morning break from the rain, and That's A Good Thing so the dogs can go out before it starts up again.  But once again, it looks like we'll get much less than predicted.  They were calling for 2", looks like we'll get 1".  Still, we're thankful for whatever we get.  Of course, that means the grass will grow, and that means the grass will have to be cut...  A guy is coming over this afternoon to give us an estimate for resetting the large (4' x 6') granite slab that serves as our front porch.  He'll also give an estimate for redoing the paths in the back garden.  Those bother my wife, even though she doesn't go out there any more.  Oh well, it's only money...

I remember Dave Frary (a former professional lobsterman at one point) saying of a boat kit, "That's a Popeye Boat.  It would never work on the ocean."

Geesh I hope it isn't a Popeye boat Dave. Dave F just posted pictures of the same kit that he built saying it resembled his old boat.. 

Where is Dave F posting these days?  I don't remember which kit he called a 'Popeye Boat'...

I saw him post it on his FB page within the last month.
