I hate wearing socks. The only thing worse than wearing socks is ending up with a shoe full of lime, fertilizer or seed when not wearing them.

And no Dee, that's my coffee cup. Although with the cup and the dark shades I should have dropped a few coins in it, rattled it around and seen what kind of donations I could have gotten.

Swamp- thanks for the photos. The grins are too much! Hope you both have a great day. BTW, nothing wrong with white socks I wear them.

Thanks, I hope my friend that does fiberglass can fix it. I would rather fix it than graft in a section of the pontoon. Just supplies,materials, and labor.

Could you excuse a noob for asking, but is that the inner fender liner that's fiberglass?

Interesting cooling fan set up.

the Delorean has a fiberglass body tub and stainless steel body panels that mount to the tub. The frame is regular old steel coated with epoxy.

Happy hump day!


For the first time in 7 months, I was able to take off early from work today.

Cool, thanks Joe! Just as some here live vicariously through some members' soap opera love life(s), I need to learn about all the neat projects some of you guys and gals undertake.

Wow! Your little man has it good. I wish I could have had a back pack on wheels when I was in school.

It looks like he was excited to be going to school. I hope the experience I'll have with my kids will look as calm and cool as your pic.

I exude calm and cool.

Re: the backpack-tell me about it. We can thank the do-gooders for that. Under "X" years old they're not supposed to carry over "Y" pounds (I don't remember what X and Y were) so the wheeled backpacks are commonplace in CT elementary school these days. I suppose it'll be good practice for them when they have to navigate an airport with a wheeled carry-on.

Sigh, if that were only true. My two sons must have homing pigeon genes. They keep finding their way back.
