I have a Dream

Well my dream is to build my own ocean-going catamaran (from timber of course) and i am currently saving for the plans and the materials to get started. this is becoming a reality in any case, but with a nice powerball/lotto win it would accelerate teh project somewhat. and probably enlarge teh boat a bit and have better facilities onboard, but even if i won $100,000,000 tomorrow i would still build it, not buy a production model. the dream and goal is to build it myself and sail it round the world living onboard for 20 years or so. My g/f thinks this is a wonderful idea too. http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ons/icon14.gif

The big powerball win ... I don't know you would be scared to let the grandkids out of sight, the begging letters , unwanted beggers etc na.... When I retired in 95 I got a bit worried do we have enough, what if ...?? so I took on some part time work and every time I did it turned into full time work so after 18 months I said enough. We don't live a flambouyant life style, don't touch poker machines or the tab , drink with moderation , fortunately shmbo said that anything I made from part time work should go to buying toys , so the shed is more than adequate .We have traveled a bit overseas but now concentrate on Aus and are off to Aderlaid...Darwin ...Back on the Ghan ...home via Melbourne..will take a month Aughust ... Sept
The thing is we didn't need a big win to do it.

I have my dream , lived most of my dreams and the ones I haven't am too old to do and enjoy now anyway

A lot of the big win dreams you wouldn't enjoy anyway as the side effects will far outway what your've already got.








Earth is the insane asylum for the universe.

Yep, the worst thing about a big win would be the begging letters

To quote someone very famous, though I can't remember who but I'm sure she was very famous ... to some people, probably people who matter because I remember her as being famous even though I can't remember who she is ...

what was I saying?

Oh yes ...

The quote from someone famous ...

Money can't buy happiness ... but you can have a lot of fun being miserable :D

Curry? in Japan?

Where?

I bought this cook book called the Ultimate Curry Bible. The first part of the book describes the history of the curry. It said that Japan has fallen in love with the curry. Seems like a good excuse to go to Japan anyway.

Curry has been a big thing in Japan for some time now. If you like your curries really hot then theres a place in Tottori on the western side of Honshu that serves the hottest curries Ive ever tasted.

Curry only one of many good reasons to check out Japan. Its a place you can spend months touring around and never get bored.

There was a restaurant up the road from where I lived in Brisbane. Thai or Indonesian or Malaysian or something Asian. I went in there one day to buy a curry. In those days, I used to eat a lot of curry and liked it really hot. They had three grades of curry - mild, medium and hot. They didn't know me so they said I had to have their 'beginners' curry the first time. I was a bit jacked off by this until I noticed that it came in an asbestos bowl with the emergency number painted on the side. Talk about self induced torture. I've NEVER eaten anything like it. Sort of felt like swallowing a blowtorch and trying to put it out with napalm. Dead set, my sweat was boiling on my skin. I ruined three pairs of jeans farting fireballs the next day.

Mate,

Whatever the boat, bigger, longer, beamier, it's still worth doing (whistful expression herehttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ons/icon12.gif)

The only Q. I have is: where on board are you going to put the buzzer and T/S?

I know mine occasionally put the wind up me, but that doesn't power the buggershttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ons/icon10.gif

Enjoy your dream, and I hope it come true for you. Not sure about a cat' though!

Cheers!
