Microholism; was Re: More Micro Questions / homemade wine for homemade boats?
Dear David,
I have tried,oh Lord,I have tried to quit this MICRO madness from
meandering its' way through my daily thoughts and nightly dreams.Oh
dear,the things I have tried to forever cure myself of it
all,yet to no avail!
Don't really know why this should be so damned hard,must
be.....the fever.....yeah,the fever,that's the ticket!Big bad horrible
fever.Gives me the sweats every night,terrible sweats!!!Then it makes
me look at bright,sunny colored pictures of warm summer days out
sailing in my MICRO and,and,and... then I sweat some more!Yeah,lots of
sweat that runs down into my eyes so that I can hardly see and
then,ah,er....the computer turns itself on to the Bolger
group!Yeah,the Bolger group.By then I am virtually blind,shaking like
the Duracell bunny and sweating a river!
On the other hand,may be nothing more then a dose of cabin fever
in this frozen water wasteland and a desire to encourage(spread?) the
fun around?
So,on your knees now and tell your Elegant Punt you was just
foolin' 'round some........and that Pappy's gonna build her a big
sista real soon like! :-)
Best of luck with your next boat,David!
Sincerely,
Peter Lenihan,wiping the sweat from his eyes,on the frozen shores of
the St.Lawrence..................

It's a sad affliction, eh? Maybe we should start an on-line 12-step group...
'...made a decision to turn our lives over to the care of The Designer as we
understood him........'
'...made a searching and fearless inventory of our boats.....'
'...admitted to The Designer, ourselves, and another builder, the exact
nature of their flaws....'
etc. etc. etc.....
hope I haven't offended anybody! ;-] - something about seeing
bolger@yahoogroups at the top of my screen has put me in a spin..... what
does that mean? 'YAHOOOOO - Let's build some boats!'?
gezundheit!

Paul -
Under NO circumstances are you to bring a newly-completed Micro to the
Lake Champlain Messabout. Peter, you stop encouraging him this instant!
If you persist in this madness, I will most likely be unable to maintain
the ability to NOT order the plans. if I order the plans, I will most
likely want to build one, and I do NOT want to build one.
Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated.
David, who just this morning, told his Elegant Punt that she will NOT be
getting a Micro for a big sister, while brushing the snow from her bottom
on a frosty morning a tad south of the St Lawrence.
