So - what's better than having a C26 to work on and play on ??

Capt Scott and Partydog aren't allowed to play, sorry, they both know the answer already..

Answer-- two C26's (at least temporarily)

was looking for a better trailer for EE and found this about 15 minutes from work

got a deal and couldn't resist - will be towing it home next week.. with the redhead's blessing and temporary suspension of the 12 step program

A sailboat will make a man poor. Some men are so poor they have
several sailboats.

Well, unfortunately (maybe fortunately), the trailer will be set under EE and is part of the big picture, but the boat will not be staying for the long haul...

The only solution I can come up with is to forget sleep and learn to sail at night. It's not too bad when the moon is up.

I work hard at work, so that I can play when I'm not there. I have a great assistant, who covers me when I'm out sick, or just out of the office. Don't know if the wife is "understanding", but since work sends us on two all expence paid trips a year, she's pretty forgiving. We are a nationwide firm, and are always hiring if anyone knows someone looking.

My dog seems to be the only one who minds me puttering in the garage or the driveway since I'm not on the couch rubbing his belly.

For me, working on toys is how I unwind after work. My daughter knows how to use a torque wrench, how to bleed brakes, mix epoxy, and hand pack wheel bearings. I finally got to the point where thare were no cars to fix, so a boat was a logical step since airplane are expensive and more unforgiving.

No, there is no 12 step program for sailing, that's why sometimes the wind doesn't blow.

Good for you l was looking to get the sails but its better it all stayed together. I wonder if he would let his boat cover go. A couple of days a trailer and a wrench or two and I could bring it home.

After marrying a frustrated once upon a brief time very long ago flight student (me), the redhead briefly considered an airplane instead of a boat..just before telling me 'in an emergency I can flap my arms and swim - but I can't flap my arms and fly..its going to be a boat...'
But if you see Santa, he still owes me a '46 J-3 Cub..

A running joke , the redhead's 12 step program I refer to is this..'if you go within 12 steps of another boat I will beat you with a broom...'

Nice people - don't they just make it all great ? The guy I'm buying the boat from has been a pleasure to work with, really has..thanks man..you can sail with me anytime and anywhere..
