I almost bought an old house boat that sleeps 6 several years ago. The old guy selling it via the classifieds section of the local paper only wanted $4k. It was one heck of a deal. Of course, you have docking fees, etc. The two huge old V8 engines powering it required $200+ in diesel fuel to drive/sail/whatever it to Pittsburgh from East Liverpool... so I decided to pass. That, and some fiberglass rot around one engine that I didn't know how to repair. |

Dock fees at that time were about half of what I was paying in rent, and that was just for it to sit there. Then there was insurance. When you get a boat like that your mileage is often calculated in gallons per mile, so any time that you take it out for a short ride it's going to cost $50 or more for fuel. If you are in a northern climate they have to be taken out of the water for the winter. That means paying for the crane and storage. It is sort of like owning and boarding horses. There are enormous expenses just to have the thing around, even if you aren't using it. |

But in general, all boats are holes in the water which you must throw money into. And also your labor, if you are not well off and hire someone. It's a constant drain on your very soul, and it never ends. You made the right decision. |

I didn't think so. Certainly it seems worth the experiment. How about alcohol pairing? The other day, I was in the position of deciding what to gargle with after a minor fail at gasoline siphoning. BREATHE IN THROUGH NOSE; OUT THROUGH MOUTH. At first I thought wiper-washer fluid, but then I remembered the bottle of rum I had handy. High-school organic chemistry suggested longe chain ethanol (rum) vs. methenol (wiper fluid) For a few hours I tasted gasoline in my belches. |

I think the confusion here is that an actual Usenet reader renders differently than your Google Groups program. Bryan replied under my quote to me, then to you further down in the reply, instead of making two separate posts. |

I'm undecided as to whether I'll buy them again, but I'll probably have the tub of them for a while. I don't often eat oat meal. If I made it daily, I would not want to wait 30 minutes each morning. >> much sugar is added to them. I'm not even going to go into detail with >> those awful gravel-like seeds.

I had the same mid-80's and high humidity with no A/C yesterday (A/C at work, however). I survived. Same heat today, but with less humidity... which made it very enjoyable out. > With a little luck (and now I've just jinxed it), El Nino will > bring us a mild winter this year. December aside, last winter was very mild here. Hardly a bit of snow in January or February. |

Three days to go. $50 or less here, and that's with the dehumidifier running in the cellar. $32 if I left the dehumidifier off. |

I know it's more complicated than to duplicate the recipe on a Karo bottle for pecan pie with more filling and no nuts. It has to be. That brown, sandy surface has me puzzled (without googling). ;) |
