It's the last day of April, a rainy one at that. The dog is curled up on the couch, the steady downbeat of rain keeps me and the last of my morning coffee company here.

First my apologies. To all your grammar hounds out there, yes, I do know what spell checker is, and I'm sorry I did not turn it on last night during my first post. I shall endeavor to be more careful in the future when writing!

Yesterday when I was hauling my tools and such over to the garage where I am building this boat, I got a few odd looks from the cars going by. You see, I don't own a car, but I do own a trailer. The trailer is made from metal crutches and it gets pulled around behind my bike. I have about four of these trailers right now actually.

A guy in a car pulls up next to me at an intersection and stares. His window rolls down.

"Hey!"

I smile and nod.

"Is that thing made out of crutches?" he asks.

"Yup." I answer.

"Wow. That's pretty cool."

He rolls his window up and tears off down the street. I pedal on, pulling my tools along, towards the boat.

I suppose this is, in part, why I am doing this.   It's just plain cool.

Oh, did I mention I am going to pull the boat to the water behind my bike? The boats will have wheels on it!
