This old age stuff really stinks. This time for sure.

Uh.....Google?

No kidding - wow.

I knew Google stock was over priced - there really isn't anything
there.

Maryland Red is not a predominate color, and there is no such thing as
"Maryland Barn Red". And actually, barns in central PA and Maryland
were white. The reason for plain old red barns is because ferrous
oxide was cheap. Red color had nothing to do with nor were there
specific colors of red used.

What a confrontational little **** you are.

That's not my quote... I just winced at the thought of the 'deserving'

Uh-oh...now you've stepped in it. You'll probably start getting snarky
emails from one John Herring, loogy's self-appointed protector.

Sorry bout the multiples. Once should suffice. Just about that time, my
cheesy news reader dropped rec.boats from it's list of supported news
groups. I didn't do it, I swear. The pollution business isn't going so well.
You guys just don't give up, even with the gentle hints we're dropping for
you.

Perfect shelter for a cheaply built workboat.

Uh huh. Where, crap-for-brains, did you get the idea that the shed in
question belonged to me?

It's just one of the many rigging sheds on the premises of my boat dealer.
There's room in this particular shed for three boats on trailers to be
rigged simultaneously. There are at least four other large steel buildings
for rigging on the premises, and a double wide concrete fresh water filled
ramp to test engines on their boats.

My "shed" is an old tobacco barn that "conveyed" with my land purchase:

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...me/Oldbarn.jpg

Since this photo was taken, I've had the rotted boards replaced. But it's
still just an old tobacco barn, home for some farm implements and in the
winter, families of woodland critters.

If you were to find yourself homeless, I couldn't let you move in...the
critters would object to your stench.

How about a picture with the boards replaced?

Yeah, I need to do that. They haven't been painted yet...I'm trying to
hasten their aging and maybe this summer I will have the entire
structure painted Maryland barn red again. I discussed this last summer
with the Amish crew, but we never came to an agreement.

Why do you want the photos? Are you a barn buff?

Oh...boating related...there are two canoes and a kayak stored inside
the barn on occasion...they belong to friends who "launch" at a nearby
Bay park.- Hide quoted text -

"Maryland barn red"? WTF is THAT?

I really hate to be defending Harry on things, but yes, there is such
a thing as Maryland Red *- just like there is a classic Williamsburg
Blue. *Maryland Red is very similar to what they used to call Dutch
Red you saw on PA barns, only it has a lower orange component and is a
slightly lighter shade.

You have to remember that colors used to be associated with regions
because of the difference in ingrediants, dyes, etc.

Now I know you are going to ask how I know all this - well, I had to
wade through a physics dissertation that had some math in it and
unfortunately some of the historical data just soaked into my brain
and sat there. *:)- Hide quoted text -

You are correct about PA barns - most were white. *There were,
however, red barns painted in the color Dutch Red. *You see them
mostly in Eastern PA and in the rest of New England. *There is even a
reference to some types of scallop dory's painted in what was called
Dutch Red. *The historical reference to Dutch Red is a particular
species of tulip of all things - go figure.

I will be glad to send you a copy of the dissertation if you wish - it
has all the references, data points, graphs and chemical compositions
of the various regional colors.

The geographically available ingredients are what makes the color
variations. In western NY, all barns are red, but you never hear of
them being called western NY red. Same with "maryland red". Try it!

I don't have to try it. I just looked it up - have the paper right in
front of me.

Like I said - be glad to send you the paper.

Free of charge.

Who asked you. ;-)

That multiple posting was caused by the news reader just before it took
rec.boats off their newsgroup list. I had to redownload the newsgroup list
to get rec.boats to show up on it, before I could resubscribe to rec.boats.
