With internet at home (for the first time in my adult life, I realized) I've gotten plenty 'done' since last post, ie I have looked up every boat project I ever worked on and got all caught up on my corporate blog reading. I stumbled across what I'd always said would be a cool Chris-Craft: one with a rumble seat. Most exciting was the picture below of the results of my toiling for many a summer day to ensure Jariya had the coolest stern around. In other news, what started out as a perfectly wonderful Saturday has turned into something of a rained-out Saturday afternoon. I'd planned on taking the bike up into the hills to test both the newly-tuned gears (by a mechanic who made the cover of Bicycle magazine, no less) and my badly-in-need-of-tuning legs (which have never been near Bicycle magazine) on the big ridge just to the west. Instead I'm polishing my IMDC presentation, "CONCEPT DESIGN ANALYSIS OF THE FLEET/FORCE MULTIPLE DIFFERENT PLATFORMS AND ‘EMPTY SHIP’ EMERGING CONCEPTS" and fixin' to watch the Pistons' game. Maybe a little later in the evening the roads will dry and I'll get out...
