Getting HQ Ready For More Bad Google Reviews
Found a better place to hang around at the railway
It’s that time of year when I need to start cleaning up for the big show here on Sept 7th. This year I am less involved than most years, but never the less the railway will be hosting classic boats during the show. Also, we have three pickup trucks worth of picking stuff to , well pick through and clean up and find a home for it.
Stinky will be in the water ready for rides
Two Chris Craft outboards were donated by fellow Woody Boater Glenn Lester

Lots of weeding and landscaping. The rainy summer here has been pure gold for crab grass and weed killer cant keep up. So had to go old school and actually bend over. My I watch keeps asking me if I am Okay..
I have never seen a drill like that and I can’t figure out how the thing works. Can we have an explanation?
I found a utube video on vintage “post drill press”. I would post it if I knew how. That thing is amazing!
Check out this drill press we found on Solomons Island, MD
Maybe this is for you?!?!
The RR grounds look fantastic, in spite of your crab grass concerns. Good luck with your party preparations!
Beer can pop-tops, I’m going to guess, 1966.
I agree, pull tabs came out in 1966 The pop tab as we know it was introduced in 1979. ” Pop a top again”
Love the hydroplane flying off the ceiling
Is it new or did I just miss it in the past
Richard it came from Dora this past spring.

I don’t remember time before pop tops, so I am going to guess 1957?
Everything looks great, and I (always) agree with Greg, that drill is awesome. Need to spend more time on it next time you’re looking for a topic to go deep on!

As to the bad Google reviews, this saying is appropriate:
F#*k em and feed em fish.
Ya, tell em to f off and move on.
You mentioned a good dumpster find. I can’t walk past one without taking a peek over the side. Drives my wife nuts.
The pull tab was invented by Marty Fraze in 1963 in Dayton Ohio. He was a client in my fathers Merrill Lynch office in Dayton. He started and owned Dayton Reliable Tool
HOLY CRAP! There ya have it. The wonderful small world of Woody Boater
I recently attended an outdoor renewal of vows ceremony and reception. While I was waiting to get a cold one out of a tub of ice, a senior gentleman holding a bottle/can opener said to me “You know, you and I are probably the only ones here old enough to know what the pointy end is for,” a consideration with which I had to reluctantly concur.
I visit your web site every day and enjoy seeing all the boats and comments by your fellow WoodyBoaters and the work you all do to preserve so much of the rich history of wooden boats in our country. Growing up in Dayton exposed me to so much of the wonderful history of Dayton and surrounding states as well.
