Okay, after seeing how fast RB's wherry is going together, I had to confess that my Ches 17 is halfway done after two years. Just curious, who out there can beat that? We could start a construction slacker support group and finish these things. Although building is fun, isn't getting it wet the ultimate goal here? Now it's my time to wax poetic about this with an old song lyric:

"Most vagabonds I know don't every want to find the culprit that remains the object of their long relentless quest. The obsession's in the chasing and not the apprehending, the pursuit, you see, and never the arrest."

Let's "get up off our big fat rusty dusties" (another lyric, this one from Joe Williams) and get these things finished! Who's with me? Did the Americans quit when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Let's go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers,

Brent in Durham
