The But Holey Grail Of Toilets

Hey, we have a good old fashion toilet story today. Yes, this is another tradition, and this year I was scared I may have to repurpose one from the past, and then god delivered this porcelain false god to me, and of course I wish to share this with all of my closest internet friends.

SHHHHHHHHHHHH

Thankyou all for stopping by and renewing my faith in the fine citizens of Woodyboaterville. I know it kind seems silly, but this is the time of year when you….well  just kinda want to crawl under a rock and listen to some Enja. Okay that may be a bit dated. Or obscure. But try it.

On The Road back To Normalcy

I am very happy that everyone actually like a real boat story. By the way, I was as well. We are on the road back to HQ and will be back to our normal hours, and abnormal stories with a random boat story that makes you wonder every day, I wonder if Woody Boater is

Laughing All The Time

One of the things I have noticed is in old photos you rarely see people laughing. Heck even smiling. It’s hard to fake a smile, and defiantly a good laugh. I suppose it has something to do with the cameras of the day and time it took to point and shoot. Lets just say there

A Warm Day At The Beach, With The Queen Boatress Mum

We had a day of fog and sunshine finally here in Bay St Louis The temp was around 70 and that sun sure bakes you up fine. Actually, the sun here is more like a broiler. Like in Florida, when its out full bore. You can feels it searing whats left of the hair…not hairs..

Another Snow Day Here In Woodyboaterville, So I Slept In.

I know to many of you Woody Boater has been going live a little later these days. I am in a different time zone, not only physically, but also spiritually.  And just being a blob, and slow walks on the beach like some sort of inspirational poster.  So a huge thanks to Sir Lapkin Shoot

We All Need A Lotta Lapkin To Warm Us Up

What’s in the future for snow? Weather forecasting misapprehensions. Some of us are addicted to weather forecasting. Yet, while most of us never attended a meteorology class in school or online, addiction to weather forecasting, and particularly snow forecasts, can be addictive if not infectious. Infectious in the sense: likely to spread or influence others in

A Chris-Craft Coloring Book? We Need More Info

Back to the Katz’s Marina Gang and their drawers. We have this little mystery. A coloring book? A Sample? It’s not in a book form, which leads me to think that this may have been some sort of prototype? Comp? Maybe they are table mats? Either way, looks to me like these were made in

Katz’s Marina Finds NOS Green Cobra’s

Yes Green. The Katz’s Marina gang is famous for its Cobra collection, with a variety of colors, classic gold, black, red and now Green! And there are two of them.  Sadly they were completely covered in plastic which seems to have shrunk them.  At least they dont have lifting rings to bitch about! Ya! I

From Lego’s To Lapstrakes

The other day Dan Overbeek mentioned a passion for Lego’s then Troy jumped in with one he was building, and ding dong dang, I jumped on that train for sure. We all have other passions, and some lead to another and yet another. Dan’s was Legos. Lot’s of Legos.. Hey! Even David Beckham is into

Mr B Unleashed At The B-each

We are now reporting from another time zone and weather pattern. At B-ay St Louis. And of course Mr B wanted to go to the beach. Okay, he had no idea, until he got there, but man oh man he made up for all the teen ager I dont cares, the second he saw some

The Vinyl Printer Is Alive! It’s Alive!

Dear God! That was a beast of a complex yet should have been a very simple job getting the printer going. As you may recall last week, my issues. I didnt give up, and each day made at least one moment of progress. I will list them. Why, because I feel like I just graduated

This Was The Summer Of Love, Let’s Do It Again.

While the world seems to be ripping it’s self apart in the news. Here in Woodyboaterville, it’s all good. With one exception, it’s now late fall, and soon winter will be here, and we will all be looking forward to Lake Dora and summer again. And yes, some sort of show in Michigan for Sir

George Wants Some Tee Nee Fenders For Christmas

It’s officially that time of year when your loved ones are hunting for some sort of gift to give you for the holidays. And of course, they always blow it. Cause they really don’t know your deepest dreams. Like you really want a new 3 inch copper exhaust pipe under that tree. Or maybe it’s

I Need A Graphtecxpert!

Okay, for sure, 99% of WoodyBoaters will wonder why I am doing this to myself. And to John Rothert who is still trying to figure out his flip phone. You are okay on this one, no need to even try.  But I am trying to teach myself how to use a vinyl plotter to help

The Stewart Warner Auburn Temp Gauge. Get Out Your Check Book!

Okay, I was gonna just try and slither by and not make anyone aware of this special gauge. And yes I need one, but I’m dam set of trying to find one thats affordable and kinda patinaed to match the rest of Stinky’s Gauges. But “someone” on facebook was looking for one and then “another

Facebook Group Admins, You Have One Job!

There are so many things to complain about with Facebook, it’s a simple snap shot of all that is right with humanity, and wrong. But one thing is for sure, if you are going to create a Facebook Group, and many do. PLEASE do your job and monitor it. The crap that is posted is

Pulling The Plug On Your Loved One.

Well, it had to be done. We had a group meeting with the meteorologists, Al Gore, and psychiatrist, and all decided it was the right time and so yesterday we said good bye to another summer for WECATCHEM. I know. But she is in a better place now. And after going over her “after” it

Chill’n With Mr B And Stinky

Yesterday was in the high 50’s and had a day to start the process of putting stuff back on Stinky, and of course just chill. Moments like this are what life is all about and a true reminder of  the freedoms we all are blessed with thanks to our service members.        

Veteran’s Day For WoodyBoater By Mike Mayer

Today we got this great note from one of the first WoodyBoaters and long time pal Mike Mayer. It’s a sobering reminder of what today really means. It never seems enough to say “thank you for your service” and to just have one day thats Veteran’s Day. Every Day should be Veteran’s Day. Here is

Gone Fish’n And Some Other ‘n.

Around here on the Chesapeake bay we are in the throws of Rock Fish Season. The water cools down and the fish get feisty. Although this year the water is not so cool, and the fish are more North, so that means some very early morning boat rides. The good news is The Boatress’s partner

We Interrupt Work For Some Low Light Basking

I absolutely love this time of year, and with global warming and all its even better. Sorry, it’s all about perspective I guess. Anywho, while we are all still alive and not been mowed over by a floating meting ice burg, and this time of year low light. So sunset rides are around 4 in

Squeezing Out The Pass Gas Special

With all this amazing weather, we had a chance to pull Stinky’s engine, to clean up the bilge and fix some manifold issues. And as it turns out, it wasn’t the manifold but the gasket which was gone on the edges. The manifold looks brand new inside. WOW. We also got the CLUM key from

The Negative’s Are Out And About Town

Okay, today we are back with our new fave fam, the Negative’s. And actually, as fun as it is to improvise the captions based on the looks on their faces, I have actually started to really like this family. I know, it’s strange, but I have been looking at tons of images of vacations, boat
