Great stories, MargAnn. Wherever she is, I'm sure echoes of kids laughter still resound in her hull. I have some advice, on a couple of levels. I sincerely hope she is one of the few woodies that survive. I will caution you though, prepare yourself for the worst case... if she changed hands a decade...

Hi there, Swap out the Chrysler P.O.S. with a Pertronix electronic conversion. When you remove the points plate, make sure you inspect/lube (if necessary) the ignition advance weights and linkage. Quite often rust builds up under there and hampers the actuation of the weights and not allowing for a ...

Why are the IMF and Eurozone lending money to Greece? Gas, baby. Check the figures on crude oil costs per barrel since the bailout was announced and you have your reason, plain as day. With US dependancy on foreign oil being a hard fact, any rise in the cost of crude is seriously detrimental to the ...

In the interest of accuracy, ASP is not completely funded by donations. They receive significant Federal Grant money, and are currently looking to hire someone just to manage that.

Fine people I'm sure and doing good work.

See? I DO know s**t.

As far as being for or against criminals, please read my post waaaaay back where I mentioned that I was not for illegal immigration in any way. Appalachia-I have been there. My point was that the poverty there knows no race or political boundaries. Nor in Detroit, Chicago, LA, or any of the other pl...

I hope everyone had a safe, happy and altogether good weekend. Sincerely. I'll reply to posts in reverse chronological order. Alexandre, I do have a reply. I did take offense to the Socialist remark. My country is not Socialist, we have elected leadership, the party system, and the House of Commons,...

National SOCIALIST party. Close enough? Or, you could be referring to Communist countries, several who's name includes SOCIALIST. My bad, taking offence at either option. And I'm calling horsepucks. You honestly going to tell me that if you, your buddies and these Mexicans (who by the sounds of it w...

Bfly, Feisty is good. Having words is good. It's what keeps society in balance. I never suspected you were being a B. I just think what Peter posted should be weighed in it's entirety. He tempered his statement by pointing out the fact that this legislation would pretty much be targeting visible min...

don't disrespect our Canadian servicemen and women again. They happen to fighting (with honour, bravery, and distinction)-and dying- arm-in-arm with your servicemen and women RIGHT NOW. I know, I have family and friends over there. So you can have all the right wing views you want, spout off all you...

The drama was well underway before I showed up. Lots of how-dare-yous and I'll-never-speak-to-you-agains. That being said, what you say about how these conversations would go if face-to-face is true. People are way less inhibited in online conversations. What made me post was how quickly people misc...

... is how anyone with an opinion different in the slightest gets ripped on. This place is supposed to be an open forum to exchange views, not a GD troll haven. MOST if the posts on here are great, entertaining and with a good dash of salty humour. You should quit waving the Constitution around and ...

An observation from a Canadian cousin... Let me preface this post. This isn't a comment on either political party, nor their policies. My own views are capitalist. President Obama (and I will use the caps and title out of respect for both the office and the person my favourite neighbours voted in) d...

ooops

thanks for the warm welcome.

great an owner. Nice work! Nothing and I mean nothing is as pretty as a woody that's had a loving and skilled owner. Whoever bought that got a smokin' deal. That being said, not bad dough for this economy and a woody. I know it's an exceptional boat, but even the stunners scare away most uninformed ...
