: Hi All,
: I feel the same as all of you do posting here. There is something special
: about this site and building a strip boat. I feel that everything I have
: done in my life has consolidated and condensed into building a strip boat.
: Maybe I need to get a life,,,,Well,, maybe this is it. Often times I find
: myself reading a post about an idea on this board and staring off into
: space thinking about it. I was just doing that with the earlier post about
: the foot pump. We can all build a beautiful boat wheather we have great
: skills or are just learning. We can become artists and inventional
: thinkers with this special hobby. I posted some ideas here before I ever
: started my kayak that I now know were really dumb, but no one every
: criticized or belittled me and everyone here has been helpful. And who
: knows when an idea from a new person will really be useful to our hobby. I
: would urge everyone to post and ask questions or put out ideas. My thanks
: to Nick Schade for this board.

It's been said before on this bbs "The only stupid question is the one you don't ask"

Also, I think it was John Lennon that said "Life is what happens when your making other plans"

Keep building, keep paddling, keep smiling!!
