World supply problems have everything on the back burner again. The $23 plywood is now $60, a nasty old 2x4 is a shade under $8. Will keep pluggin along at a slower rate.

Been tosssing around ideas for towing the boat, on the trailer, in parades for a couple of years now. Gas is out, electrical is complicated. Was watching "Ricks Restorations" late last night while fighting rona raiders and saw an interesting vehicle with some neat concepts to exploit.It was an old single man outrigger gandy dancer type railroad car. Made it go by pushing a yoke back and forth instead of the typical 2 guys pumping a teetertotter yoke up and down. Really looked like a guy rowing a boat (gettin the picture?). Have seen similar systems on kids pedal cars but those would be way too flimsy for hard use.If we could find drawings of the drive system, scale it up a little and put it in a wneeled rowboat mockup with oars extending off the push yoke??? Ideas??? Thoughts???

Well, here we are 3 years later with no progress. Retired in August and still getting 40-50+ hours at the salt mine every week.
