Actually, the health club next door is providing the power via the stationary bikes the zimmerfraus are peddling. They are thinking of putting in a thermal collector to use in off hours, powered by the glass window view from the street which is always occupied by deutschesmensch ogling the churning scuttles.

They are going to have passenger airliners taking off from the airport. They have a video of the tests http://www.miniatur-wunderland.com/exhibit/video/tracking-shot/film/article/tests-for-the-takeoff/

Hitler had Albert Speer build a model of his proposed grandiose capital city to be named “Germania”. It was maybe ten feet by twenty feet overall.

What a piker! Hitler’s model was so small it was set up in the underground Fuehrerbunker so he could contemplate what might have been as Russian shells rained down.

Now, comparison with Hermann Goering’s model train layout at his `Karinhall’ might be worthwhile.

Take a look at the description of the guy who runs the Red Light District at: http://www.miniatur-wunderland.com/exhibit/wunderland-sections/knuffingen/kunffingen-highlights/red-light-district/ Some how it’s appropriate that he was kidnapped but I don’t think he was kidnapped by a “concerned citizen”.

OK, second biggest waste. I had a 16' walk-thru that spent more time trailered in the back yard under repair than in the water. Next time, I buy new and finance. Buying a used boat is like volunteering to burn in Hell for another man's sins.

The Howard Brothers circus model at the Ringling circus museum in Sarasota is a fantastically large model of a circus visiting Knoxville Tennessee. Although it is a circus, it is integrated into a very large model railroad layout.

I once owned two boats - a 24’ CC, and a 34’ wood CC. Then I joined a 12-step program...

Step 1) Get RID of the boats!

Rent one?

I wonder if you can do a lease back with a boat, like folks do with aircraft.

“A boat is a hole in the water, lined with wood, into which you pour all your money.”

“A boat owner’s two happiest days: the day he buys his boat, and the day he sells his boat.”
