Thank God you got the port and starboard correct, my German DNA would’ve wound up even tighter if you had not :laughing. Love the fiberglass skiff.

Dave, I should fly you out to re-rivet my Monarch aluminum boat. It’s been a great little workboat but the rivets rotted out.

So....some history.

My dad bought this car used in 1965. He then drove it for...decades. I came home from the hospital in it.

At some point, he bought something newer and it got parked. And it sat.

Outside, in New England.


My mom got sick of seeing it out there, rotting, so she started to harass him about it.

What are you gonna do about the Chrysler? What are you gonna do about the Chrysler? What are you gonna do about the Chrysler?


Finally, in a moment of weakness he said "Fine, I'll sell it."

This turned into "When are you gonna sell it?" "When are you gonna sell it?" "When are you gonna sell it?"

He sold it to me for a dollar. I was 13.


You could hear a pin drop in the house for over a month.

More to the story later. I know we all want some visual.

I think we're all looking forward to watching the process.

One thing, don't park it under any trees for the first year after you complete it. :x
