Excessive posting? ... Interesting.....

While we're on transportation, I bought a boat this weekend.

I hope you have water close by.

He just bought it to sit in and drink beer. That's what boats are for, right?

That is better than I hear. I hear they are holes in the water into which you throw money.

So what do you pull it around with? Or did you have it delivered.

Here's one I saw at the Disneyana convention:

Nice!

Someday I would love to ride in a classic car.

The closest I got to riding in a "classic" was a stage coach!

And a Cable Car

That thing is absolutely GORGEOUS!! There's drool all over my keyboard now...thanks a lot.

I love these cars! I would love to own one if I had money!

Congrats on the boat Tom!

Very nice. The Bandit T/A, coincidentally is on my automotive 'bucket list.'

nice boat! what is powering it?

Some guy dropped off a '78 T/A at work a few weeks ago. I grabbed as many goodies as I could before it went to the crusher. [huh]

Well, my parents have a 5 acre pond (obviously not good for such a boat) Luckily our cabin is on the Wisconsin River. I also live half a block from a lake.

I hope you have water close by.

I've got a Chevy Caprice Wagon, a Mercury Colony Park Wagon, and a Cadillac Fleetwood, all will make good pullers!

Thank you!

The words T/A and Crusher should never be in the same story

Ironically, someone offered me $500 for the boat (I paid $100) so if they follow through, I may not own it long!

Sounds like your money hole in the water may turn out to be a money spout! Good luck.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

Thanks! I never really planned on hanging onto it long. Just the rest of this year, then sell it in spring. This could save me some time and fixing up, though.

Yes, a hobby. Recreational Work is what I call it. I could have paid someone to take down a dead tree on my property but decided to take it down with only a hand pruning saw and some rope. A couple of days and some physiclal work does wonders.

Not bad then. You make 5 times what you paid for it and don't spend fifty cents on it.:whoo:

It's always more satisfying when you do the work yourself. I hate having to admit I can't do something. I could use the $400 profit, too. The Caddy is practically riding on racing slicks.

I think that a new set of tires for your Caddy is better than doing any work at all.
Of course you could then change the tires yourself, given the right tools.

Always, that's roughly four day's work at the plant, after taxes, insurance, 401k and all that fun stuff.

And winter's right around the corner! Gotta get through the snow. Never an easy task in RWD.

Funny you say that, a friend called me who I saw while on my way to pick up the boat. I told him "I'm buying a boat." He replied "The kind that floats." I told him yes and he said "Well, I had to check with you, you've had plenty of the kind that travel highways."
