Was my daily driver up until last year. Now just about down to the last nut and bolt restoration as my wife and I plan to take it on a North American tour when she decides to retire in a few yrs. The we will pass it on to one of the kids. :)
In a situation like this no one wins. Could it have been prevented?, yes, but it happened and a whole lot of lives will be affected by one bad decision.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all parties concerned.
It could have been anyone of us when we were younger.
I know I was involved in more...
Congratulations also, and remember to enjoy them when they are small. They grow out of this stage so fast, its like you blink and they're trying to get the boat key from you!👍
Was stuck in overflow camping at one of the lakes here. We were partying with friends and one of them had his electrical van there.
There was no electricity in overflow, but after more than a few drinks and darkness came.... we dug in a few 4x4 posts and attached plug ins and conduit on them...
When I was much younger, I raced a 11sec bracket car, the adrenalin rush was about 10mins. then it was back to wrenching for the next run or improvements for the next week.
Was also a street racer (G.T.O's predominately) always had to be on the lookout for the police and sometimes make sure you...
Haven't used the product for that purpose, but think it would develop cracks and separate with time.
Planning on replacing some on an older boat using 1/2in polyethylene puck board and composite lumber at some point this year. Will outlast the hull ;) 🍻
Was a bone marrow donor (aged out now) was called on to donate 12yrs ago. Get together with my recipient and his ( our) family once a year.
Is one of the most humbling experiences you can ever have.
Glad to see you actually driving it! I know both types of collectors. The ones who trailer their cars to meets and the ones who travel all over America ( some towing trailers behind them) with their creations. The ones who drive them are much more fun to party with. To many good stories to tell...
For years grocery stores have been lowering the size and quantities of items to make it look like you are still getting value for your purchasing dollars.
Now stores don't try to hide it .... the new term is "that's just the way it is". If you don't like it don't buy it.
Wish my wages had gone...
Had shingles on the right side of my face (temple) and eye.
Was the most painful experience I've had in my life.... It's like some 300lb gorilla standing on your head and smashing a 40lb sledge into the side of it every time your heart beats!
I was in my late 30's at the time and the side...
Great story , and good to think family still looks after us even if their gone.
Condolences and their never really gone if you can remember the good times you had with them. 🍻 👍
It was called Puckboard. It's used on various construction projects and of course around hockey rinks;), comes in a variety of colors and thickness.
Should be able to get it from your local hardware outlet or have it ordered in. It's made from polyethylene.
I used the 1/2in for mine.
Used the same product on my fenders 3yrs ago. sanded with 80 grit and glued marine carpet to hull side, stapled over edge with stainless steel staples on wheel side. No issues und will never have to replace.
