Jack12477 Posted February 27, 2020 Author #66 Posted February 27, 2020 Edward, Mike, Craig, Denis, Lou thanks. Denis, not sure what is next. I have 2 wood small boat kits, another 1:350 scale US Destroyer USS Sherman I think, sitting on the stash pile. Not sure if I want to do wood or plastic. And I still have the full scale 1:1 ice yacht restoration. Lou, do you really think a seasoned ice boater needs to put the top up to go for a ride on a sunny Feb or March day ? Especially after routinely gliding across the frozen ice of the Hudson river at 40 to 50 mph on a brisk sunny day with air temps between 20 and 30 Fahrenheit? You do need to come East and enjoy some real Winters !

"Looney", or possibly "Whackadoodle" might fit better in my mind. At least he is wearing boots and long sleeves. But then many people around here must think they live in Florida and wear shorts year around. I can do it, If people don't mind being blinded by my pale skin that never sees a proper sun, but not normally when I am just standing about not doing anything. Back in my hiking days I had no problem, and even preferred hiking in shorts even when snow was on the ground but when I stopped or reached camp I had to get some pants on! By the same token I do not do well in heat either. I have lived in the PNW so long that there is little need for my metabolism to become adjusted to much outside of cooler room temperatures.

Canute Posted February 28, 2020 #73 Posted February 28, 2020 Nice job on the Mercedes Jack. I do like that paint scheme. Well done. Clams get steamed or used in clam chowders of both varieties I know of (New England, a white chowder and Manhattan, a red chowder). Both are good, but I lean to New England style. Oysters can eaten raw, but I've only done that in places along the US Gulf Coast. The stuff better be fresh, newly harvested from the sea. lmagna, Old Collingwood, Jack12477 and 2 others 5 Quote Ken Started: MS Bounty Longboat, On Hold: Heinkel USS Choctaw paper Down the road: Shipyard HMC Alert 1/96 paper, Mamoli Constitution Cross, MS USN Picket Boat #1 Scratchbuild: Echo Cross Section Member Nautical Research Guild
