It's amazing the lack of humour and intellect that resides like maggots on a
dead dog in the noon day sun in these so called "scary groups".... the only
thing "scary' about them is their ability to afford an internet connection.

Like when AOL was allowed access to Usenet - we immediately called
them Assholes On Line, cos that's what they were.

Raining again but I don't care - I'm in the office. Sunny, cool and
calm all weekend. Not much for sailing but great for paddling,
drinking coffee/having lunch with a new woman and generally kicking
back enjoying life. Good high tides too. All this and it's midwinter!
Only gets better from here.

Far as I'm concerned those turkeys only exist to provide entertainment
when I have nothing better to do. God knows I don't have high
standards or expectations WRT Usenet, but even when I kept lowering
the bar, they couldn't produce anything intelligent or amusing.

I think I'll alter the rig on my 12' daysailer and add a small
bowsprit. The jib is pretty cactus anyway and bowsprits are so useful
for ramming once you get your shop guys to make up a custom s/steel
machined cap with pointy end. I know I'll change the C/E but who
cares? The beauty of a small boat is, changes are cheap and if I don't
like it, I'll cut it off again.

Next door neighbour just had a pile of trees cut down & a portable
sawmill is turning them into boards. Only Pinus radiata so nothing
good for boats, but I'm getting the sawmiller to do some of mine while
he's here. Something will occur to me.
