Re: More foray's into Linux
What's "owncloud"? Provides added desktop features for handling data and backup or something?

GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) Boat Repair
Hi Lois I've started this thread so there can be as many contributors as possible. We all have different approaches to a project. Mine involves using the inet to find the stories of others who have already done the same thing on the same boat; barring finding the exact same boat, I look for how-to's...

Re: Project Fleury
That's great news Lois. Good on you guys for keeping up keeping up. Now you got something useable to make life a little better. Sounds like you've got some "test drivers" lined up too. <g>

Re: Boat Sitting
Hi Lois As I mentioned in another post, keel work can be pretty daunting. I haven't had to do any myself (thank you, thank you) because my ballast is encapsulated _inside_ my hull which makes it pretty much trouble-free. It sounds like you have a Cast Iron ballast keel bolted onto the bottom of your...

Re: Project Fleury
Darn Lois Getting bored now Fleury's done? Getting on the next project already? Well, be a little careful with the keel on that boat. Don't know exactly what you figure to do, but: It can turn into Big Work, REALLY BIG work. Like you don't want to start it w/out having a totally clear idea how you'r...

Re: James "Graydawg" may be MIA
Tried to reach him early in August with PM from here but no reply. Sometimes life gets busy in other areas for a while. Hope that's it.

Re: House Trailer Build
> [cool off at night, close up during day...] That's how we have always done it in Chicago in an 100 year old 3 story house. It works very well for about a week provided the night temps get back down below 70F by mid night. The house does warm up gradually so if it remains very hot longer than a wee...

Re: House Trailer Build
Been gone a while but I'll just jump back in w/a dumb question: How about a vent in the roof? Hot air goes up & out, cool(er) air comes in at the windows. Various other passive (cheap to run) solutions include paint the exterior a light color, install a "summer roof" over the existing ...

Hah! Way to go. <g> Sailing can be a real blast. And it sounds like you did some good educating there so maybe there's more sailing in your future.

Re: ezrablu - 1991 Bluebird of Happiness
That country looks glorious. But the lakes and rivers of greenbacks the place floats on... Gives me a weird feeling. Guess I'm just too bohemian class to conceive that many bucks in comfort. I dunno. Maybe I'm some kind of closet communist or anarchist or something... Great score for the summer thou...

Re: Pit Stop is coming home SOON!
Hmm. That sounds like it uses more copper than I have around. Maybe why I haven't tried this method.

Hi Ezra
Glad to hear from you. Guess you're taking a little time off from working on your bus - looked like you've done a bunch of work on it. How's Canada? Sounds like you landed a nice gig for your vacation. <g>
