Mike!!!!!

Where's the magic, where's the love????

Where's the quiet admiration of the way the evening sunlight shines thru the window onto that sleek beautiful craft.

Sneaking out to the garage early in the morning while the coffee is brewing just to look at it and dream.

Being late for work because you just HAD to do one more thing before you left and before you knew it 45 minutes had gone by.

Getting to work and realizing that you've got cedar shavings all over your shirt and epoxy on your shoes.

Don't build it without the twinkle in your eye. Sometimes walking away from it for a couple of weeks is the best thing you can do.

You don't HAVE to build a boat, it should never be a burden, it won't turn out the same without the magic.

Just my opinion.....for what thats worth :)

: I've been getting so SICK of working on our (DaWife and DaHubby's) kayaks
: that i've threatened to use the chainsaw to make a couple of those
: way-over priced shelf units that you see in stores like Eddie Bower.
: (wrong spelling it's phonetic though) DaWife has now labeled the chainsaw
: as a WMD so i can't use it for the next couple of weeks. Pessimistically
: speaking we should be launching around independence day. I think for me
: that will have a dual meaning this year - no more ball and chain in the
: garage.

: P.S. I can't wait to see the end product of your bravery.
