The Opel

Sometimes when I reflect on all the beer I drink, I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams shattered. I think, 'It's better to drink this beer and let their dreams come true than to be selfish and worry about my liver.'" - Babe Ruth
Went and checked on the Opel electric car project vehicle today. We were going to tow it back to the shop, but have a few obstructions to clear along the path out of the woods, and need to take some air for the tires back with us. We'll make a thorough inspection of the underbody once we get it back to the shop. The body is a little rough, but nothing that can't be fixed. Sweet lines!!

    The car should be perfect. My buddy had one of those back in 1980, it was a fun car.

The Adventure always continues...

This is the Blog of the Sailing Vessel Felix. Felix has been sold, so I probably won't update the blog much more, just leave it here for posterity and start another one. This blog was primarily the record of our trip from North Lake Worth, Florida up to the Chesapeake Bay and our summer there before moving back to Florida. Because Blogger won't let me rearrange the posts into chronological order, it has to be this 'latest post first' format, here is the link to the beginning of the journey . You'll just have to select the posts by month and read in reverse order. I hope you enjoy, and I'll post up the new blog here whenever and wherever it begins. Thanks

Chief of the Boat

"Heaven goes by favor; if it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in." Mark Twain We long for an affection altogether ignorant of our faults. Heaven has accorded this to us in the uncritical canine attachment. ~George Eliot Dogs' lives are too short. Their only fault, really. ~Agnes Sligh Turnbull I talk to him when I'm lonesome like; and I'm sure he understands. When he looks at me so attentively, and gently licks my hands; then he rubs his nose on my tailored clothes, but I never say naught thereat. For the good Lord knows I can buy more clothes, but never a friend like that. ~W. Dayton Wedgefarth Chief 12/12/95 - 5/8/2010 Rest in peace, little buddy

The Ultimate Garage Vacuum

"When your dreams turn to dust, vacuum." Sail Felix is really starting to branch out now. Not a lot of sailing going on these days, and since the blog has become more 'the life of Star and Andy' I'll use the chance to promote the GarageVac , since that's what I'm doing these days. I'm working to help promote the website, so if you missed clicking on that link, here it is again!! :-) The GarageVac is a powerful yet compact central vacuum system for your home, workshop, or garage. That's not just marketing bs, it really is a strong vacuum, and it comes with an 8' hose that stretches out to 40' to reach anywhere in the garage, into the home, and out of the garage into the driveway. It uses Hepa filters to keep the dust from coming back into the home, and because of the slim, low profile design (It's only 4" deep!) it can be flush mounted into a 2x4 studded wall. The best part? It's manufactured right here in Palm City, Florida. ...
