Bill,

I'm sure you understand. It would have been a lot easier and cheaper to buy a used plastic boat than to build the stripper. And, it's less work and cheaper to just sit on the couch rather than buy a plastic boat, then actually go outside to paddle. Come to think of it, I could have saved money on the couch and just stayed in bed.

I certainly did not do it just so I could say that I did. However, I took the time to post a description on the web because I thought that others with similar interst might find it useful and that it might generate some stimulating discussion. I'm not convinced that the latter has been achieved, but that's okay - I'd go crazy laying around in bed all day.
