I'm pretty sure my most useful area of assistance would be in
transport, logistics and liquid consumption. A combination not
totally unfamiliar to the fine citizens of Canada who have the
priveledge of living in "la belle province".

As for Daddy Duck himself, I wouldb't let him help build a TIMS unit
if I were you. He's a Texan for one thing, and HIS tim-bit leaked
like a sieve. Why the lazy good fer' nuthin' hasn't even got around
to tracking down that pesky leak and caulkin' it up real good. The
only thing his is good for right now is leaking and filtering the
rain water than is filling the other 4 up.

I have it on reliable inteligence that DD can be forced to down a
pint or two of the amber throat charmer on a hot, dusty, Texan eve.
Whether he can transport said skills to Quebec remains to be seen.
Based on how well he sent his boatbuilding skills to the TIMS
project, I kinda' doubt it.

WOW!! Now that would be really neat to have Le Mouton Noir de
Kingston and Daddy Duck paying a visit.When you speak of help,do you
mean in building her or in getting her to Kingston? The building
part will be done this Thursday,especially since Friday looks like a
rain day. Otherwise,if the 3 of us build her,next Wednesday,it
should take about an hour and boy will we ever be thirsty.......a
six-pack divided by 3 pirates will only just begin to sooth our
tired muscles........more and better stock will be required :-)

P.S.,unless you are in love with le sheep and/or Scotish,much safer
to write J'aime le mouton etc.....

Well, maybe we can help. all tied up the Labour Day weekend, but
after that, maybe!

Chuck Leinweber and I could possibly come up to Montreal on the
Wednesday after Labour Day and pick it up for you. Only, of course,
if it doesn't leak as bad as the Duckworks unit! I guess those Texans
just don't know how to build a boat.

Of course, I'm pretty sure Chuck would need a 6 pack of Laurentide
(as a southerner and a Yank, he couldn't be trusted with either
Maudite or Bras D'or, not of course, if he was driving MY truck)

Let me know if we can be of help.

Bruce,
I don't know what is wrong with this bouncing e-mail but I'll bet
it has something to do with the YAHOO evilness of a few days ago.The
worst part is that I cannot /don't know how to fix it :-(
The flipping party will most likely occure the weekend following
the messabout and yes,it won't be the last party by any stretch !! :-D
I'm gonna build it either this Thursday or Friday and try looking
for a vehicle to get it there.
If you want to help,you are more then welcome!!!

Sincerely,

Peter Lenihan
Peter,

When is the last flip for Windemere? Although I'd bet it won't be her
last flippin' party by a long shot.

When are you bringing your TIMS unit (timbit) to Kingston? Do you
need help with it?

Do you guys have a reservation onboard the Alexander Henry yet?

Bruce Hector
Peter, my last two emails to you were bounced back by the mail
server, is your email address still the same?

Why thank you Harry! And it is good to have you back in the fold too!!

Don't be fooled.......for beneath all my layers of blubber and hair
and marmotte lovin',bunny rabbit huggin, and puppy petting skin
there does indeed lurk a spinal colume,or at least a wee bone of it
tucked away somewhere in there for special moments,special people and
always on call whenever Rusty the Rooster gets his feathers ruffled:-)

Sincerely,
Peter Lenihan,who was getting his hopes up for a FREE THE BANNED 5 t-
shirt but feels much better just having us all back to whip things up
with craziness and fun yet never forgetting the serious business of
amateur boatbuilding.........arrrgh matey!! :-)
Great post Peter, lots of help

thanks

Who are you and what have you done with that nice Mr. Lenihan??

I am glad I only have to deal with small town clerks who I have known
for years.

I will repeat an offer that I have made here before, those who have the
space and live in the Pacific NW, I can give you contact numbers for
several small AK mills. Rough cut green lumber is cheap and cheap to
ship as far as Seattle.

HJ, back from the banned.

Pierre, I was pretty certain over on the Michalak group that Peter
Lenihan was the guy you needed to talk to. Was I right or was I right?

Where is all the MDO.

Last time I bought MDO, I called a few signmakers (Trim Line, etc)
and asked for sign board. Of course they had it, or could get it and
were happy to sell some.

Crezon, I can get from a from a smaller local yard (it's one sided
primed white), as always, stay away from the big name yards, and try
the smaller ones.

Ask Peter Lenihan what the terms for MDO and Crezon are in Francais.

Trying to camouflage yet another MDO question. From my reading I
gather Peter and Bruce are Canadian, maybe even montrealer in Peter's
case and there maybe more you us out there.

My question is where did you purchase your MDO? I've found lumber
yards who know exactly what I'mm talking about, who carry and stock
some configurations but never the good 2-sides and the refuse to
special order on account of minimum quantities.
