Let me check that I have got this right:

1.  Measure with micrometer

2.  Mark in chalk

3.  Cut with chainsaw.


Good enough for government work    ;)

"Banish the use of the four-letter words
Whose meanings are never obscure.
The Angles, the Saxons, those dirty old birds,
Were vulgar, obscene, and impure.
But cherish the use of the weaseling phrase
That never quite says what you mean.
You'd better be known for your hypocrite ways
Than as vulgar, impure and obscene."

If you find it difficult to carry your heavy model to the lake, why not replace that heavy lead ballast with aluminium?

Martin judging by this lot,  maybe you should give some thought to the Position Titles you
give us for our postings.  I dread to think whats going to happen when the first one reaches
the title of rear Admiral.   ::)

How about that?

Boat in the water means: "Red side down".

...and in my former profession it was, "Wet stuff on the red stuff".
