 Oh, good. I still have the model of that boat a little bit beat up and the kids painted it with sparkle stuff, but Good enough. I'm thinking I want to turn this boat into a mini peddler like many people can pedal it This has a floor in here. It's not in this. It has hatches Now I'm thinking You know in my other pedal boat, I just have people sit right inside the pontoons I'm thinking of doing that for this Because every time I think about you know putting pedals out in the middle here It just seems like it's gonna take up all the cargo space So I think I need to put people in the pontoons But I think I don't want to put them right in the pontoons because the person is gonna have to sit way back here To pedal here so that the paddle wheel isn't hitting this thing so maybe the person can sit up on here and And then the pedals can like I could just lower a section here Put pedals there the same thing on the other side and then the same thing up here You know the person can sit up on the top and pedal a little bit lower I think that'll be more comfortable. Anyway, and then it'd be a paddle wheel in the middle here somewhere Or maybe maybe I'll just have two pedal spots at the back and at the front I have chairs with with oars so that Anyone who wants to help that's not pedaling can just use the oars to go faster But then I can just move the chairs out of the way if I need cargo space I guess I guess I should just start with these first and Maybe I can slip some pedals into the this is this has been known as the kid box Because where the kids always used to sit when it was using this boat So maybe I can put some pedals in the kid box area that can also work And then four people can all pedal the paddle wheel here or here maybe two paddle wheels, you know, I could have a Paddle wheel up here And I would I'd have to make like the indents in these pontoons for that the people on the side to pedal But someone could pedal here someone could pedal here Someone could pedal here and someone could pedal there and then there could be a big paddle wheel right in the middle and I could make that all removable So you can take it out and put it back in so I could take it out if I'm not gonna have more than two people and Then put in just a flat floor for cargo, so I'm gonna have to make this a transformable boat, aren't I? maybe I can think of a way to To kind of integrate everything Think about it. One thing I Could do is do like on the zombie chopper Which is you know have the pedals that go to gears that go to a shaft to a propeller And that takes up a lot the less space because you don't need a big paddle wheel up here Hmm My fingers do some thinking Well, either way, I still have some time to think about it right now the boats up like this right and I'm hoping the barnacles that are on the bottom of it will Bake off and I'll just be able to chip them off more easily Then after that's done. I want to Put another layer of resin on the bottom of there and re smooth out the bottoms because they you know They've been pretty beat up And flip it back then Yeah, I'm pretty sure there's gonna be a pedal spot here and there anyway What's the point of this many-person pedal boat well obviously it would be nice to take my whole family, but also I Want to start doing adventure builder meetings again Now I used to do this thing where once a year I think I'll start doing it more often but you know once a year I'd have an adventure builder meeting and People would come to my place in Vermont and just camp out for a week. Well here. It's a little bit harder to do It's why I haven't had any in the last five years. I guess Like transportation is more difficult. I Guess you could just pitch a tent, but then I don't know just the little the logistics of a lot of things are trickier so my friend and I want to set up some Some probably some concrete domes. They're just like dormitory style. So people could come Stay for a week Maybe just get a bunch of people to come and stay for a week and then have some project going on that we can all work on That's fine and interesting. Maybe maybe we would just work on a project that would make the the visitor area Cooler and then every time people come they can come and and Make something that makes it cooler for the next people and the next people come and make it cooler for the next people Anyway, so the many-person pedal boat would be for picking people up in town Which I think it'd be super fun Way more fun than getting a motorboat. It'll take longer obviously, but So much more peaceful, right? Am I being coherent? I can't tell I water in my ear. I can't hear anything
