: Is there a support group for those transitioning from builder to paddler?

: Dwight

Getting run over by a 100mph power boat may be a cure, but, as for transitioning from builder to paddler: well, that's kinda like moving from Heroin on to Methadone. ???? The addiction is still there, but..... you could just as easily slip back to the origin at any time. As for groups, I hear there's another gathering happening soon. Check for listings below.

Finally got a look at the Child. Looks just like dad don't he,she. :) Great job Dwight. I kinda liked the one with landing gear myself. What are you doing/did you do for hardware and hatches as such?

Keep up the good work and BTW, What's coming up next? You know, it's hard to tell when you might just run into an old friend and get suckered back to your old ways. Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Whatever the future holds, have fun.
