Found a guy who is repairing the board and got one from him. I had a bunch of lines on the left side and a picture on the right side. Followed the directions at the link you gave and fixed my set! Thanks. Found the part here: http://www.6871qch038a.com

I did not run across any wheels. I wasn’t looking of them though. You caught me. Everything is primed and I have all of the pieces but I never did shoot the final red coat of paint and put the wagon back together. It is still in my shop among several projects I need to finish!!

Comment on Unsportsmanlike Sailing Ruined More Than A Race by Susan

It is unbelievable that the entire crew of the boat that was left intact would leave the scene without (at the very least) checking that everyone was all right on Dr. Heeks. If I had been on the intact boat, when the skipper started back to the race, I would have jumped ship in protest. As for the second disgraceful act, that is also beyond belief – so much so that it is chilling.

I made the stencil myself for mine. Making taped printer paper over the original logo,and rubbed black crayon over the paper,it made a great rubbing that I then cut out with a xacto knife

Hello,

I was just messing around and decided to google my name (Bill Blevins) and found your web site. I just thought I would say hello as I found it intersting that not only do we have the same name but we are both into fishing as well. If you are ever in the Washington DC area drop me a line and maybe we could meet and wet a line…

I did order the replacement parts from Radio Flyer. They didn’t have the exact sticker. The pieces have all been sanded and primed. I need to get back on this project and finish it. Maybe this weekend since they are calling for temps in the 60′s and no rain. Thanks for the reminder that i need to finish this!

@Alan – We are going to sail them again this year. I may sell one at the end of 2010. I’d only be selling so I could buy a new one from Mark Bryant down in Fla. I’m actually supposed to be prepping one of them today to get ready for hitting the water in April. Haven’t moved off of the couch yet today though

The company I got my boats from is no longer selling 2.4mR boats. I’d call or email Mark Bryant through his site http://www.markbryantsailing.com and he can probably point you in the right direction or build you something similar.

My name is Paul and I was admiring the cockpit cover on 2.4mR USA161, and I wondered what it is called and where you ordered it from and if you remember how much it cost. The ones I’ve seen lately are not as big or as nice looking. Great pictures by the way looks like you really took the time and thought into outfitting both sailboats.

Please let me know.

Thanks,

Comment on Welcome to Southern Hills in Fairport, NY by Tracey

Tracey — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 19:53:53 +0000

It’s a small world! Came across this site completely by accident. We adopted border collies from Glen Highland Farm as well. Before adopting our first we installed an electric fence around ours and our neighbor’s yard(he was getting a dog as well). Fortunately for us Tag did require a fence but not a hard fence. Life was fine for a while but our neighbor works long hours and would leave his dog outside in a small kennel a lot. We would feel guilty every time we took Tag out to play while the other dog sat there watching and whining. We decided that we needed to put up a hard fence because it just felt too cruel. I was worried that the neighbor would be upset with us but he was totally ok. Funny thing was, the guy on the other side of him wasn’t happy because “he could no longer see what was going on in our yard”. I swear that’s what our next door neighbor quoted him saying.

The next thing to happen was that several of our other neighbors who had very little children(2,3,4 yrs of age) insisted on letting them out to play unsupervised. On MANY occasions the kids would come into our yard despite the fact that we had asked them and their parents to not let this happen. Tag has strong herding instincts and will nip at heels(esp small children) of people he doesn’t know. We became increasingly worried. So we then decided to put up a hard fence on the other side of the yard as well. My step daughter was younger then and would play with the girl next door sometimes on the weekends. That neighbor, who let their younger child out w/o supervision(3yr) actually asked us if we were going to install a door to the already erected fence we had just put up, so the kids could go back and forth! Proving only that they were even more clueless than we believed.

The kids are all a little older now and as far as we can tell they no longer enter the yard uninvited. They of course still stand out on the side walk and bark at the dogs or taunt them in other ways, we now have two rescues. But we really don’t want to have to fence in the entire yard and if we did fence in closer up to the house then that would make the yard much smaller for the dogs which is not acceptable to us.

Anyway, just thought I’d share our story.

Comment on NuHull boat cleaner is simply amazing by Bill Blevins

My boat has a clear coat over the detailed paint above the waterline and there were no problems. The hull is white gelcoat and it worked fine there too. You can get a smaller bottle. I’d test in a small area if you were worried.

I knew there was a reason I left Fairport to live in the country – NEIGHBORS! Who needs them, especially the “fence police” kind. I love the pit bull idea, there are plenty who need rescuing and I think they would need at least a 12 foot fence…….. FYI the house next to me is for sale and it comes with 4 acres. Your border collies would fit in nicely with my horses and my rescue dog and cat. Welcome!

Comment on No, I Didn’t Buy a J-24, Today Was J-Daze! by Bill Blevins

Most of the photos are posted to Flickr under my account “sailorbill” and you can get the larger files there but you could also just email Pam through the Canandaigua Yacht Club site where she is the current Commodore. She has the full-sized images. After I burned that disk, I only kept the shots I really liked so I probably don’t have the high-res of the shots you want anymore.

Tucker is doing fine and he’s the sweetest little guy (half the size of his big sister). He has only chewed through the cushion of one dining room chair but as Tracy said, “Well, we have nine more chairs”. At the moment he’s curled up on the leather couch beside me as I go through my emails. I’ll keep posting photos so you can check on his progress. We are in obedience classes with Grace and Tucker now. Thanks for getting in touch. Here is Tucker’s album on Flicker:

Bill –

We never met, but I greatly appreciate the shots you got of this regatta. Actually the best I’ve seen of any regatta I’ve ever been in. I’m would like to know if there is any way for me to get the hi-res of any of these still. (I don’t know how to get ahold of Pam and/or John) Either way, thanks so much.

Bill,
My name is Ginger, we originally had Tucker. My daughter brought him home from Beaver Creek Colorado. We already had three dogs. Two Yorkies and one Bearded Collie all of which were female. He loved the girls.. It became a little to much for us with four dogs and after Tucker ate threw the leather couch we knew he needed much more supervision than we could afford. We are truly animal lovers and Tucker was the sweetest dog in the world . It broke our hearts to give him up. We are so pleased that you have adopted him and Grace. Thank you for giving him a wonderful home!

Not to question to voracity of Barbara and Jeffery Barteld’s aesthetic eyes, however, I looked at Google Maps at picture of their house and it looks like their next door neighbors are apartments. Nothing wrong with that but it doesn’t quite fit the description in the letter. People often put up fences to block neighboring apartments!

You should take the fence down and get pit bulls. Let them roam freely in the proud tradition of pit bulls, as they were meant to and keep the beautiful streets and hills free of pesky eyesores like kids, squirrels and Jeffery Barteld in his plaid golf pants. Then the once beautiful Southern Hills can be restored and the disruption of its identity can be over.

I think you should see how strongly they feel about their beloved setting. It sounds like they have mentally annexed the property before you “owned” it.

You should send a response to them offering each a 1/36th interest in the community park they perceive they are entitled to and of which you have deprived them. At say $10 grand each, they could have their desired open space and have full control.

You set up a 501(c) corp and act as the super. Better yet, set up a 501(c)(13) – Cemetery.

My guess is the dogs will be taking care of the landscaping!

I totally agree with Bonnie….except “Southerners” are just as bad as “Yankees”.

Can’t believe all those men went along with that “Woman”!! You know they don’t care about a fence.

Bill & Tracy,

Your house is beautiful. People need to mind their own business. Having a fence in your yard is not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things. I hope these people realize this. Keep your heads up and don’t let anyone get the best of you. Bill- you are one of the nicest people I know. If these people knew you, they would not be acting like this.

Where do I start? I am sure that I won’t be able to say anything that hasn’t already been said with eloquence, but here goes anyway!

Using common sense, they weren’t around when you were making arrangements to pay for your home, so, that is that.

People with such an eye for what a neighborhood should look like should have set forth the rules of beauty 20+ years ago. That didn’t happen, so, that is that.

All beautiful paintings and pictures have frames. Congratulations, you have framed yours perfectly.

The idea that you have done something “to” the neighborhood is simply ridiculous. You have improved the home life that you enjoy as a family. How can that possibly detract from the neighborhood? It isn’t a chain link fence with the plastic strips running through it to block the view.

I will close with this, even though I could continue for much longer, I pity this poor woman. As for the rest of the clones she has following her, I am of the opinion that this group of followers would have complimented you on a beautiful fence had she not gotten to them first. Good grief, have a back bone and think for yourselves. You know I’m right, and you know who I am talking to.
