Tomorrow the bozoputer goes back in. I need it for the gear box job. The USPS ensign was dads from the Chicago PS as a charter member in 1940. The SBYC club burgee was flown on the SUNCHASER. When BC Patten died, I asked my mom for the burgee (1967). I guess I was weird then too. Attachment DeletedAttachment DeletedAttachment Deleted

I traded an Ellenwood Landing YC burgee for a Sturgeon Bay YC burgee in 2005. It's hanging in our clubhouse at the marina today.

Bill, How did you get that picture of my work bench? Oh wait. That's not mine but it sure looks about the same. I can't put anything away or I'll never find it. Workbenches.... Hmmmm.. I was working on rehabbing some older wood frame windows from mom's house and since my workbench looks worse than Bill's, or Sky's or, well.... pretty much anybody who owns a garbage can... So, I trot out the Sears version of a B&D Workmate so I have room for my stuff. The interim project was laminating some plywood discs to make a canvas support for the Hobie Cat. Hence epoxy and tools,... and clamps. Naturally, the work pieces weren't there when I took the pic, so the workbench looks emptier than it would if I'd staged it. I'm also doodling with a fiberglass replica of a channel buoy for a front yard lamppost. I've only been futzing with it for about a decade. The picture just seemed like an interesting vignette: Meh. Clearly I've got a lot of cleaning to do.

So two days later the fresh plastic coat was still sticky... tuff titties! Work commenced with shafts and couplings. The shafts had dried algae on them that got shoe shined off, along with bottom paint etc. Also did some bench top drill press work with wood and it all stuck. Hmmm . Sand and refinish later. Got a free drive disc from the marina (had busted springs and a crack). Drilled out the hardened rivets to get to the splined hub tp mount a pulley to. Used the 100 year old power hack saw (16 inch blades!) to cut some angle iron for trans legs to work on something steady. Tomorrow Im gonna be gutting that bad boy... Jim... I find your human humor totally illogical...

I gave one of those adapter plates to a friend who is ZF and twin disc tooled up. He adapted it to his rig to do velvet drives. Now I just hand him parts and let him fix it.
Marc is my yanmar and transmission go to. I send him all that work. He sends me the electronics and electrical
