bo'sun Carl Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I was thinking that if we are going to take charge of the tug of war again I could make a 1 1/2 inch line say fifty feet long to donate to the fort. What do you think? It would be better than we had to work with last time. Untill we meet again may you have fair winds and following seas. Y.M.H.S.

Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I graduate May 7th, and so far have no prospects for a job in teaching but I kept all my tools and I wil go to part-time construction work as long as my ol' bones will allow it. At this point it looks like I should be able to put together a few bucks to attend, may have to find a ride though, not sure if my car will is going to make it much past graduation before major repairs are necessary. There's a young fellow that lives near me that will be going and may be willing to let me throw in with him and even drag my little trailer behind so I can bring the tents. I am working this out with him now to see where that goes. I'll keep posting here to let everyone know the status of the canvas at least.
