ED

:confused:

[Wayne Jeffers]

I hope so, too.

Finbar appears stoic.

Wha'happened?

Anomoly Alert!!

The thread is dated 2/17, and the first post is dated 2/19.

Continuity Check!

[Concordia41]

And weather.com says it was in the 40's in Woodville today - so no snow...

Whatssssuuuup? Is this a metaphor for the shambles we've made of our lives chasing these wooden dreams???

[Rich VanValkenburg]

He wouldn't. Besides, there isn't a piece of wood that's curved, bottom painted, or varnished in that heap. Looks more like a SWMBO-mandated cleanout of something else, or maybe he's been over to see my neighbor. ;)

[Kristian]

Nice pile of firewood there. Are you doing a reno? It looks like a bunch of old construction lumber.

But good joke, you had me gasp there. It took a minute to figure it out. :D

[dasboat]

Yikes,at first that looked like a shot of my garage. ;)
Commmonnnn ED,where is pheonix? :eek:

[Wayne Jeffers]

Yeah, I'm believing Ed's fooling with us, fellas. I don't see anything that looks like wreckage of a bow-roofed shed. The lumber's all wrong and no plastic sheet or polytarp in sight. And clearly nothing that looks like an S & S yacht in the early stages of a rebuild.

Had me goin', too, for a minute.

Wayne

[NormMessinger]

Sort of looks like some of the stuff I've built.

[htom]

[Wild Dingo]

Oh now I gots it!! That there mess of wood is just the house right?? Youve demolished the house to make room for the new project right Ed? Thats okay then. ;)

whew you had me goin for a minute there mate tongue.gif

Take it easy

for heaven's sake, put us out of our misery . . .

Well, after that momentary convulsion ended I realized there appears to be a knot in that piece of lumber over Finbar's head, so I figure it must be a bad hoax. Are we sure it's Ed that posted this? Maybe he's been kidnapped! Are we sure that's Finbar, maybe we should have the dog DNA tested!
OK Ed, what's up? Need a new garage before you go any further? Has SWMBO laid down the law & said you have to complete the house renovation (or build a new house) before the next screw comes out?
Now what's up?? :eek: :confused:

[Alan D. Hyde]

OK, Ed.

Now's the time to explicate.

We wait with abated breath...

[cs]

Still no word from Ed. :confused:

[Don Olney]

Ed,

I've seen dogs chew things up before but this is ridiculous.

Or maybe the Woodville Smasher struck again.

In any case, I'll pick up Doc and we'll be right over for the party.

Wayne is right, it is a hoax. The shelter would never collapse like that under any snow. It would be kind of a "soft" landing around the boat.

Ed is just getting rid of some other project or maybe it's some neighbors "junk pile" ;) Bring on the marshmellows.

[Ed Harrow]

Well, it's like this, The Lurker & Co invited us north to "Golden Pond" for the weekend. My right arm still hurts so we figured a few days away would be good for all. The Lurker is in the midst of a major reno of his aunt's house there, a comment was made, and the rest, well you see the rest. We'd have torched it, but the fire dept will have to stand by, just in case, and such events must be scheduled far enough in advance that they are comfortable there will be no competing conflagrations. Don't ask me how they know that...

I suppose I should have saved it for April Fools' Day. ;)

Oh, Margo, it was 52 American up there in NH on Monday, and one definetly wanted one's Bean boots before venturing outside.

[NormMessinger]

Whoa! That is a relief to hear. I figured you'd finally got the last screw out.

--Norm

[Wayne Jeffers]

My unspoken thought was that it is too early for April Fools Day. LOL

Anyway, I figure collectively we owe you one, Ed. Paybacks can be h*ll, ya know. ;)

Wayne

[nedL]

Actually I figured there can't be that much snow on the ground in Woodville with nothing on the ground 30 miles to the south, so it had to be a hoax. -----You just wait Mr. Harrow, --- When you least expect it!! :D

[abe]

Ed, looks like you had too much idle time on your hands over the weekend to dream up this ruse. Were the loons out on Golden Pond? Or was it that smog free environment up here in the "Live Free or Die" state?

As Wayne and nedl suggest, payback is imminent and can/will occur when you least expect it.

From now on I will wear the Beans hip boots when I read the next status check. ;)

[dasboat]

Don,I like your style. ;) I too was about to "go with the flow" and gather up some marshmellows. :cool:

Gee Ed, I promise not to ask you to help me move again!

[ken mcclure]

Thanks for that, Andy. You'll be happy to know that I had the splatter shield up.

[Concordia41]

I see the bush and Roosevelt, but where's Finbar?

[David Jost]

Ed,
You didn't fool me for a minute. We have not seen that much snow around here since Feb 2001. It was gorgeous out last week and I celebrated by glassing the rudder, finishing the cabin hatch, and building the mast support for my Bolger Micro. And...there was not that much good wood in Phoenix the last time I saw her!

[Norske1]

smile.gif House restoration?...nah...I doubt it...we're probably looking at Ed's neighbors boat after spending the last 10 years trying to restor......whatever :D
Heh Ed!... is it true you have never been to the Maine Boatbuiders Show in Portland coming up in March?...if not...GOOOOO...it's the BEST!...WOOD everywhere!
