We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

The, uh, the cat did it! Little rascal must have walked across the keyboard when I was in the kitchen! I'll fix his wagon! Then I'll fix the link, then I'll take the cat to the vet's and really get him fixed!
Thanks Doc. Now OT: How about an article on Why and How you became a liveaboard? I'm at the 55 wanna do something different stage. Love the tech stuff and advice, now looking for something, um, a bit more personal. Just asking....
One more comment before I go away for the day.... How about turbo charged as an addition to your specs? You say the muffler reduces the power 30%, you could get that back and more with a small turbo. Of maybe use a motor cycle engine. Their HP/WEIGHT ratio (and can be turbo'd or supercharged) and parts availability would make that choice a plus versus some import motor that's be nigh impossible to get parts for in, say, rural Texas or Missouri (or rural anywhere U.S.).
"I'm at the 55 wanna do something different stage."
Uh-yup, pretty much the same thing here. 56 when I bought the boat.
(half-hour later)
So, that was kinda funny. I spent a half-hour writing out this long endless boring positively scintillating treatise on liveaboard life, only to glance back over to your comment to see if there was anything I hadn't yet mocked, scorned and degraded dutifully answered and noticed this:
"How about an article on..."
My first thought was, "Oh (slapping forehead), he means one of those 'blog' things!"
My second thought was, "Thank goodness for cut & paste!"
Okay, one o-fficial post on the subject coming up. Wishing to give you credit where credit is due, I sure hope I don't embarrass you too much when I mock, scorn and degrade exalt your good name in public. As the vicious angry mob your good friends in the comments call for your head laud you with death threats compliments, I'm sure you'll be infused with a feeling of stark terror manly pride at the heinous act vital role you've played.
