silas thatcher

lank oops, too late :)

raft

me, lady constance and 6 of our 9 powder monkeys will be attending.. still not sure about the 16 y.o. ....

lady constance is kinduv a redhead, more like strawberry blond kinda thing going on.... me.... brown hair, but ALOT of red if i let my facial hair grow out.... sorta weird... kinda like i can't make up my mind which way to go :)

10 minutes.... painless, in and out.... at 430 this afternoon, i was number 1548 for the day...

silas thatcher, lady constance and our crew of miscreants, will be dining there, too..

lady constance has emailed you about helping...... she CAN cook !! don't have anything pc to bring for you, but can supply food.... let us know what we can do...

ps.... our powder monkeys can also wash dishes :)

after a little deliberation, we have decided to forgo the wall tent this time... indecision, delivery times, more time needed to make poles, expense all add up to making this a no-go...

we can check out every one's while down there and plan a little better for the future..

well.... would've been cool... :)

pole length is not an issue.... 5'10".... all urchins will be attending... but have other small tents, too..

ok... need to buy a wall tent for PiP... who recommends what vendor ???

4 foot wall heighth, or 5 ???

going to get the sun resistant, flame retardent one , so that part is settled...

tia

happy b-day, sir... hope it was a grand time :)

happy b-day, clay...

best wishes to ya !!

faxed ours last nite.... this trip sounds like it will be VERY cool !!!

our condolences to you and his family, mostly...... now great words of wisdom here...... just kind thoughts

oh, almost forgot... we have 9 children.... 7 will be with us... so there is kind of a need to bring some stuff... unfortunatly, we can't travel light :)

as of right now, i have 1 1/2 hammocks,3/4 of 1 tent done, have to get a big tent, need a fly, but we got nuffin to sit on or set stuff on other than coleman folding chairs, and a plastic top table ( you know, the newer ones with collapsible legs ).

as far as i know --- now correct me if i'm wrong, but i don't think coleman was around to outfit sailors back "in the day"...

just trying to blend in better at the camp...

i want to make a simple table for our camp, something fairly easy, can be knocked down for transport, and pc looking... also want to make a few chests for some storage and seating...

i have a few ideas that will work, but want to get ideas from others who have made some....

( pics would help me too :) )

my art work ??? mostly work with wood - alot of construction at the house, different colors - what i think would blend together nicely as i redo the outside of the house, my imagination - coming up with the beat-all-end-all deck design,metal - for doing body work on cars, paint - for painting said cars, fiberglass - for boat repair, paint again- for said boats,

would like to think my canvas work is an art, but then no one else has seen it yet !!! my 35mm camera - i have alot of very good shots, but they are far between, landscaping - learned alot on our yard

not really "artwork" per say, but i like to think that a beautifully done anything is a work of art, whether it is a painting, an orchesteral piece, sculpture- a knife can be a work of art, a design of a deck, or landscape design.

other than that, i can't draw worth a crap, can't dance, can't sing, can't tell great stories... oh well

[The current one I have and would never trade for another.... parent.

wife reading your posts, again ???? i mean, yes, i could not agree more, dear sir.... yeah, it is great, a little trying at times....

sometimes i wonder if we are supposed to learn from them and not the other way around....

Ok, everybody get some fresh rope...........

LOL!

plan on having me do the hempen jig ???? a little brutal m' dear ....

What?! You're not worried about your post counts?

(Welcome to the club. Have one on me.)

nope !! i'll leave that to the bean counters.... i'm having too much fun for such trivial matters...

in needing a name that is more reasonable, i have decided on silas thatcher instead of count de monet.....

silas will sound a little more reasonable than the fun one...

oh---- drinks are on me
