Don,
Are you trying to hold in a fart?

Nope. I was taught to share.

Re: February Meeting

Ok now I have heard this from several people.

Just to prove its not all food. Here is a pic of use doing a test fit on Bill Marlin. We also did some work on Tims Alfa!

Re: February Meeting

Kev,

I will have the first Marlin hull to you in a few weeks to do final fitup!. Right now about all I have left is to get the Marlin on the parting boards after the scribing is touched up a bit, and get Jeff LaRue the right CAD so he can crank that PE deck out for the kit. That looks good, but we will need to move everything aft a bit...

Re: February Meeting

OK Kevin!
Looks like you guys did do something besides eat.
But Matt is correct.
Looks like the system needs to be moved back some.
Luckily you nuke boys don't have to trim the boat, just power them!!
Just kidding!!
Your system looks good in there. BD.

Re: February Meeting

On Sunday, I cut a nice semi-circle in the aft bulkhead, where the original "pressure hull" used to bolt down. This will allow the motor tube in Kevin's MCS to slide aft and the shaft will couple with a standard Dumas dog-bone. I think this thing is gonna work well. I'm looking forward to driving this puppy around a fair bit this coming season!

Re: February Meeting

Bill,

I am going to give it another shot at making it out there to the Groton Fun Run this fall. We will have 2 Marlins in the drink at one time. Should be good fun...

PS Better have a diver standing by, too, Kev!

Re: February Meeting

Here's one that does not involve food, wish I could say the same about the gas though. The frebreeze can was getting quite a workout.

Re: February Meeting

Hey Bill!!
How are you doing Sir?
I keep getting asked "How is Bill doing" by the guys and my CRS never has an answer.
I hope you can dance a jig now!!
And I may pay big money to see it!!
More if Tony joins in!! BD.

Re: February Meeting

How much more????

[wlambing]

Re: February Meeting

Oh, Dave, Dave, Dave!

Having seen Tony sorta "bust a move", I can honestly say that the WORLD is just not ready! I myself haven't done a "fast" dance, or jig, or hornpipe, since giving up the liquid courage in late 1980.

I'm doing well. Have been back at work since mid-November. Getting around with less and less limp, every couple of weeks something improves. Can tell you the weather by how the shinbone feels! Just recently started fully, and tightly, lacing the work/riding boot up. Still a little swelling present at the end of the day. Going downstairs is interesting, as the left knee kicks out before the ankle gets to full depression. Kinda weird! That too, is much better than just a few weeks ago. Legal crap is all done. Last surgeon follow up is in early May. Hoping the weather will calm down long enough for us to get the boats going at a reasonable time of year.

Take care, all!
