Duane,

I've been tracking your building career and felt certain that you were ready
to turn back to nature; particularly in view of all the natural materials
available where you live. No birch trees in Long Beach? Well, rats. Don't
kevlar and graphite grow on trees or bushes... or something?

As for myself, I was amazed to watch someone build an entire boat and not
once utter a swear word. :P
