Then when he'd finished six or eight(depending on the time of year), he'd tie them end to end and row them about 15 miles down the coast to Gloucester to sell. Rowing in the ocean with tides, weather, and always the wind, is bad enough with one boat.

These people were tough, and didn't suffer fools or crooked politicians lightly.

"Yeah, my arm's all fucked up and I can't fish any more so I'll just build a bunch of dories and ROW THEM WITH MY ONE GOOD ARM 15 MILES down to Gloucester."

They don't build them like that any more.

We could use a squirrel in the bikes thread.

Yeah, he's been to SF and saw that thread. I'm not sure what he can add, he had to google CVT. Funny, when he was a teenager he and his friend would talk for hours about an imaginary bike company and all the technology they had, the CVT (not named that) was one of the things they had invented among self-healing tires. All this has come to pass. That SN was a visionary.

My .02 I'll add to the bike thread.

That Studley chest is pornalicious, no doubt.

Yeah, I'd wreck that.
