"A Disease " - that's so true. Some people are tinkerer's and other's aren't.

Since I discovered tools as a kid and good directions on how to do things, I cannot remember the last time that I did not have some huge project going on; from tearing my 10 speed apart to re-paint, re-doing a P.O.S. '69 Mustang, building dunebuggies out of VW's, rebuilding motors, then the boats came: gutting and minting an old '65, 17' Boston Whaler, gutting and minting a 19' Sailboat, and now this - the 23' SeaCraft...

And during each project, I promise myself that this is the last one. That's the beauty of fading memory, over time, you forget the bruised hands and body, the fiberglass itch, the frustration, all the agony - and all you remember is, " Hey, look what I did "

So, if my track record means anything - I'll be doing this stuff till I'm an old fart...
