Carried away pushing a trailer by hand... :blink: Bet you felt like a cold one right after that...  ;D

lol it's just a wee three rail motorcycle trailer, actually quite light when empty and super easy to move either by picking it up by the tongue or by rolling it with the jack leg down. It's just that I'm busted up more than I care to admit and being 'the man' it's extremely hard to stand back and wait for/ watch others !  :banghead:

Can't get into the mood today. Worried about the boys moto tomorrow and the fact that i'll be away all day alone.....and the driving bit. I'd rather stay home but he wants to ride. Oh well, as they say, suck it up butter cup !

Maybe a wee nap and I'll find some motivation.

I tried to make some bulkheads for the Goose last night, to no avail. I traced the outline of the nose that I had cut off, and then reduced the outline by the width of the plastic, and cut it out. Twice. Both times it was way off. I tell ya, this old ;head injury' thing is getting old lol. Oh well, going to try her again today !

:blink: :unsure: :wacko:

Try using either some solder wire or soft wire to trace the shape of the inside just like I have done in my RF-4M build.

I found when I was getting very little work that I was busier during the day than when I was at work!

Apparently retirees find the same.

This retired individual  finds exactly that!  I think Kit and Narses would agree.

I would agree as well, having spent 18 months without employment.

Absolutely, I'm trying like crazy to find the 36 hr day!

On another note I saw the UDT Boat kit at a local Michael's store.  $32.99. I almost bought it with a 40% off coupon, but I'll wait until the 50% off one comes out  :thumbsup:

Yup, been retired 8 1/2 years and can honestly say I've never once gone "what do I do now ?". Always busy, in a good way  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Captain Canada
