They say it is beatiful except where I live. I'm the local red neck complete with broken down pick-ups and all. Heck in MA they would have me in jail for sure fer zoning viotations or some such thing. As for the lathe I'm not sure but if I were to guess I'd say maybe the Mystic Seaport Museum might have such a thing.

I generally avoid the art show, toooooo many tourists. :lol: I went to the east end of the south fork of Long Island to get away from it all last summer and the art show followed me. :mad: Maybe some day I'll move to N. Maine where red necks like me belong. :)

You would be correct!

[/quote] It just happens. Can't help it. I was a member of the MSM for a number of years but I just wasn't making use of it so I let the membership expire. My favorite things there was the coal fired Sabino, the blacksmith shop with the coal fired forge, and the hearth cooking (wood).
Ahhhh, the good ol' days.

IF you want to escape them you may have to keep going into Canada. And I don't mean maritime Canada. Maybe this economy will slow them down a bit here this year. Ah hell, I make my living from them generally. Pro's and con's.

I was looking of maps that show population density N. Maine is pretty sparly populated. There is a large jump in population density in Southern Canada and then it starts thinning out again as you go way north. I have gone to Montreal, Three Rivers, Maygog, and Quebec City. My wife's grandpartents where from Quebec and she speaks the old dialect. (like a time capsule.) I like Quebec. Some of them get a little cranky if you don't try to speak their language but generally they are pretty good people up there.

I wasn't going to 'spill the beans', but freddie is negotiating with the kidnappers from Somalia and his solution is that freddie has guaranteed safe passage for the kidnappers as long as they can exchange Capt Phillips, for Devil. He is MORE than confident that the exchange will cause them to commit suicide before they get back to land with our hero. freddie has determined that about 3 tons of Harmony rice will fuel the small stoker I/O motor he is installing on the lifeboat. Devil may have already been 'snatched' from his home, and a C-17 was seen at Pease International Jetport being loaded with the small stoker and the fuel to power it. It is said that two forum members voluntarily drove the 7 hrs last night with the Harmony Rice for free to aid in the recovery of Capt Philips. Either way this turns out, this increases Freddie's popularity and shows us his sensitive side, while at the same time removing, if only for a short time, a troubled American who can't be too far from a trip to 'Dementia Place'. We should also thank 'devil' for his involuntary participation as well.

Maine: The way life should be..................................................................................................

If Devil could only have known what his comment about 'getting hot water this early in the morning' could have meant. :twisted: :twisted: :evil: :devil: :mad3:

I would like to suggest that we consider a "Humanitarian Award" for the gentleman from Orrington!
