Good looking group of young ladies Eric!!! I think they are waiting for their boat???? Jeff

They are! I keep telling them I'm doing the best I can.

Your spray rails are looking great. Sanding a large hull like yours will certainly wear a person down. I hope your tool makes the sanding job more efficient. It will be worth the labor in the end when you can cruise around the lake with your daughters in a boat you built.

You got that right! This small detail work is slow but I can't hurry it.

Just wondering, how in heck do you keep the boys away Shotgun

Well the truth is I don't try. When a young man shows up, I'm cleaning an AK or something of the sort. Then I take their picture. I explain that a good relationship is all about communication. I tell them that I know what they are capable of, and more importantly, I KNOW what I'm capable of. Then I ask if they feel I have communicated clearly with them. Every one of them has said, "Yes Sir". Never had an issue with any of them.

Larry looking at some of your posts (may be in the bilge?) I was just wondering if you can bore me some of your toys, I've got a sixteen years old daughter...

Sure Daniel, but not too sure that I could ship them to Italy though. Might get both of us put in jail, in the big house Just shipping across state lines here is a bother. Legally any firearm bought in any state other than the one you reside has to first be transferred to a Federally licensed gun dealer in your state. Then he is required to run you through the FBI background checks. It is a PITA for a law abiding citizen, but overall, maybe a good thing. I don't know. I can almost see South Carolina, can hit it with a rifle shot, but if I buy a firearm from across that bridge. it has to go through a licensed Georgia firearm dealer. It really isn't easy for an average person to buy a firearm, but it's very easy for criminals to get them.

Sorry for the hijack Eric.

NO Hijack at all, just good fun.

yeah just good fun! My nephew showed me once a nice t-shirt with the ten rules for daughter's pretenders:
1) find a job
2) be sure I don't like you
3) I'm everywhere
4) hurt her and I'll surely hurt you
5) bring her back home 5 minutes earlier
6) find yourself a lawyer
7) I'll always understand when you'll be lying
8 ) she's my princess not your conquer
9) I don't mind going back to prison
10) everything you'll do her I'll do it to you

Don't know why but point 9 looks the most convincing

My best friends daughters new boyfriend showed up one evening to take her out. After the father had spent some time speaking with the young man he put an arm around his shoulder, pulled him close, kissed his cheek, and told him "anything you do with my daughter I will be doing with you" Must have worked as the young ones are now married and from what I see he is a really good guy.

Love these! I salute Dad's with girls!!

I've got a friend and neighbor who had two teenage girls. They aren't anymore, but he actually made 2 tombstones and put one on each side of his front porch. One said "Boy who brought my Daughter home late" . The other said "Boy who hurt my Daughter". He never had much trouble with boys

I'm really glad I had a boy instead
