And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
c w: I don't know how you do it week after week, but I sure am glad that you do. You make my day every day with your posts. I think my favorites are the pictures which have the Milky Way in them, all of them range from good to great, with the outlovingstanding one to complete the set.
With a sailboat, no need to stop anywhere until you need drinking water... I guess that's true of powered boat too (there is the need for fuel)... I saw this 40 min video of a guy who sailed his 23' boat to Hawaii from LA, I was impressed by the whole thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUi0gsxVHZM&t=167s
Not impressed enough to sell the RV & buy a sail boat but maybe learning to sail is a good idea? Then I read about the Puddle Duck racer, https://www.duckworksmagazine.com/12/projects/nolen/index.html 3 sheets of plywood, sails out of a tarp, you can fit it in the back of a pickup... that might be fun! Both to build and to learn to sail!

Thanks for the Puddle Duck racer link, Rob! That looks like fun to build and learn with.
DeleteIs the first pic a Cheetah?
ReplyDeleteYes, and it's sporting Wilwood brakes. So it's probably a kit car.
DeleteAnother superb collection!
ReplyDelete#2 appears to be the bridge to Shangri-La. It might be a one-way journey!
very cool indeed
ReplyDeleteI like the buggies rock crawling.
ReplyDeleteIf that vertical jeep (#8) has a wet sump I'd think that would be hard on the engine.
