Well, Tom came by today to take a look at an engine I am putting on.
Poor guy just stood there most of the time shakin' his head. The rest
of the time he spent chuckling and mumbling something about a "big
piece of crap":0 I am not sure if he was talking about the boat, the
engine, or both;) Oh well, just to see him there shakin' his head was
almost worth it;) Almost. I just don't get it, what's not to like?
It's even got a low transom!!

In the west we can get good hotdogs, Hebrew National and good brats
(johnsonville) but the Midwest does have the great pickles.

Your opinion. Do not know the brand names, but when I lived in Dayton, OH
for a year and traveled to Chicago, had lots of good dill pickles. When I
was a kid here in the Berkeley area (a ling time ago) we used to get some
great pickles also). Now seems to be just the chain brands.

Batampte is not a chain brand, and I'm not sure it has distribution much
beyond the the East Coast. The varieties the company makes are
traditional Kosher dills, and taste exactly like the Kosher dills and
sour tomatoes we used to buy at the Kosher supermarket in New Haven's
Westville Jewish section. I'm sure there are good Kosher deli pickles on
the left coast, but I doubt you've ever encountered one.

On othat we can agree.

Although I do like Nathan's. And Fenway Franks.

But you're right - Hebrew National hot dogs are the best.

Now if I could only find a source of really good bratwurst - not that

Hebrew National makes bratwurst. But they taste a lot like their hot dogs.

There used to be a real Nathan's Restaurant next to that big cigar
outlet on I-95 in the Carolinas, and we used to stop there for meals,
but the restaurant closed. Dunno why; it always was very busy.

And of course, not a good example of the boats I have built in the
past. I would not own such a boat, or build one for that matter if it
was not commissioned and then abandon. Circumstances put me far from
home with no, boat but this one, so it'll do for now. I have adapted
and it is a pretty good family boat for us, for now. I am thinking
about a new paint job too;)

Try a Five Star or Brookside and you will change your mind about Hebrew
National hot dogs.

I'm going to look for both of those.
Here in Chicago and when I'm in Florida we eat only Best Kosher. East
Coasters always brag a lot, so I hope I'm not disappointed.
But I just got to see what they're talking about.
My favorite pickles are homemade Polish dills. Wife pickles them.
Pretty easy to do.
