Thank you Scott for the interesting idea for my dusty treadmill. Do you have any suggestions for an Nordictrack, folded down and hidden behind some boxes?
And while you are at it how about for my fluid bike trainer set up and the older set of rollers?
Seriously how about the plans for the StarTrek transporter to get me and boat to the water in under an hour>
Weather is nice in Southern Calif a great deal of the time but we do have a shortage of water in-land

Now for the coaming, do what I have been doing, stop working on the wooden/glass boat and build SOF :)
