I just can't take any Global taxing advocate seriously that would use
that **** on their boat... Sorry Harry, nothing personal. That is a
low transom carbon footprint nightmare you got there in that picture.
If you want to come down here and built me a new barn, I'll consider
your bid. I don't have room in my old storage barn, and the plastic
works very well.
What boat have you that compares in size and value to my little
Parker,
and where do you store it so it is protected from Old Man Winter? On
the
trailer, the rig is about 26' long and 9' wide.
Sure, we could get Loogie to tie up the rebar, we can show him how
it's done
What I need is a nice new 30-40' deep barn, with a double, 12' high
rollup overhead door. I can't store anything of value in my old barn,
because it is structurally unsound. I had some boards replaced on it,
just so it wouldn't be as unsightly, but the reality is that it is
either going to fall in on itself someday soon or I will have to pay to
have it demolished and hauled. All it is is an old tobacco barn, loosely
built. These days, it mostly provides shelter for my old tractor, some
tools and a significant number of critters wintering out of the wind and
cold.
I've got a couple of union buddies who have volunteered the labor to dig
and pour the footers and slab and build up a foundation wall of fancy
block three or four courses up off the footers. I'm really thinking I
want the Amish guys around here to do the rest of the job. Next time I
head over to their market, I might lasso one of the elders and talk to
him about it for a spring project. The Amish around here are top-notch
barn builders.
That really sounds like a great winter and spring project, keep us up to
date on the progress.
Maybe you can also build the critters a nice small place to keep them
warm and cozy during the winter. I placed a heater in my mom's well
house, it would do a really nice job on your critter home. You could
also place one of those auto feeders that dispenses the food
automatically as they eat. Wildlife love to be pampered.

If ever I need the advice of an a**hole, Reggie, I'll be sure to ask you
for it.
Come on Harry. Can you drop the ahole thing?
I give Reggie all the respect he deserves. He is, after all, the Skipper
replacement.
