Building a catamaran named STARBUG. It will look similar to the above photo, with Eco 7.5 hulls designed by Bernd Kohler with some safety and comfort modifications of my own design. Garden City, Idaho Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Where I’m at now that the weather has turned cold. You can clearly see which sections have no fiberglass yet.

I remember now that I bought a commercial heating pad a couple years ago just for this reason and it works amazingly, curing the epoxy past tackiness in 2 hours compared to 6 hours. I used it last year a few times. I’ll do that.

Boise loves you, unless you know something that we don’t know. We hope to see you here someday.

Yes, those damned 50 foot retiree-owned sailboats, going wherever they want for free and using all the wind. God, how I hate them.

That’s technically not war profiteering, unfortunately, it’s just profiting more from trading in a war zone. Even if it were, it’s not against the law to profit from war. How would that even work? Companies that fund Israel’s genocide of Palestine should be investigated first.

Kind of what I’m going for. So much more work to do. Laugh at my warped stringer, I do. I don’t remember how it happened. It doesn’t matter, it’s permanently connected and doing what it needs to do, connecting the hull sides together. Once everything is epoxied it will be strong as steel.

Boise is just part of a metropolitan area of about 500,000 people, and we would love to have you here. But I totally get the economics of it. Maybe someday!

I’ve done a lot of correct measurements and they always make me happy, but this one was perfect to fractions of a millimeter, and perfectly level at the top, so I’m extra happy. That panel on the side is just keeping out of my way, it doesn’t belong there.

Starboard bow is now under construction. I’m glad to finally get this piece made so I can take the screws out of this board and make it flat again. Much more to do. The screws hold the shape of the bow as the epoxy bonds the pieces together.

About to fiberglass the tops of the steps (of my own design) for the bridge deck to the hull. Nice curves.

The gas tax is per gallon, but good point, a per mile tax would be fairer. I concede that point, but it would require you to report your mileage and would be onerous. 68 cents a day seems reasonable to me to avoid that annoyance while still contributing to society.

David, the road use tax is meant to tax EV drivers the same as every other road user. I can’t imagine a fairer thing. I’m sorry you can’t accept that, I’m sorry I haven’t been tactful with you, and I’m sorry I hurt your feelings.

Ha ha, you got your feelings hurt by “buttercup.” If you’re delighted to pay, then just pay. You use the roads and you don’t pay fuel taxes; what if you do your part to help the rest of us too? Your complaint is selfish.

Nonsense. Kamala promised to continue the genocide, and good people who normally vote Democrat didn’t vote for her. How did Elon rig the election in every swing state?

Cute but that’s not a herding dog, it’s a guard dog breed and it lives with the sheep and protects them from predators. If a herding dog shows up that guard dog gets herded with the sheep.

The damage was extensive when I had to turn the hull to move it. None of the inside had been fiberglassed yet so the core plastic was broken in places. It’s good to have it home though, I’m saving $120 a month and it’s a lot easier to work on it here. But I can’t grind or sand much: too loud.

By extending the length of bulkhead 6 I’ve made the deck flat instead of curved and I’ve given a lot more space to the hull in the back.

My frustration is at full maximum in this clip after I broke a lot of the un-epoxied parts (stringers etc. not shown) trying to flip it over with the wheels and bulkhead frame attached a couple of days ago. It is repairable, contrary to my instant reaction. I’m back to my normal happy self now.
