Toy/Hobby Pictures

[TRI-JAB]

I have a bit of a problem. When I moved across town this wasn’t the only car load my Subaru had to make lol

A couple of my favorite C&R handguns. The major player pistol designs of WW2 Europe

Feel bad. Lost all mine in a boating accident….
End with a funny pic from my past life in uniform that I found scrolling through my pictures roll lol. I guess pushing the envelope was a bit of a hobby at the time for me too.

Looks like both of us did a bunch of stupid stuff in our youth. I had a face to face picture of a tiger that I took, at least didn't look that upset about me as yours. Later I thought about it.... WTF was I thinking ??

Aaaand I also love catching snakes. Been doing it since I was 4, and I’m 57.
Juvenile King snake from the yard.
Biggest cottonmouth I’d ever seen, caught last year in Bowman, SC.

Nice water moccasin and king snake there. I shoo them off the roads all the time. A few weeks back I had to go shoo a 5 ft rat snake away from someone's house at work.

A small timber rattlesnake near my place a few days before having to relocate the ratsnake. I live in prime copperhead and timber rattlesnake country. our water moccasins are a lot smaller here. I guess I do miss the larger ones and eastern diamondbacks of S.E. GA. too. A friend of mine is a licensed hander of snakes he's got a few extra friendly ones ? his E diamondback packs a big dose of venom. Great home security system.

Alright!! A brother here I something besides Jeeps!
You have my respect and thanks for getting guys out of the road and relocating from where they are not wanted! I’ve done so much of that in my life I lost count many years ago. Everything has its place on this earth!

My best one was me hopping out of my XJ on hwy in S.E. GA in shorts, tee shirt and sandals then dragging a 8 ft plus E. Diamondback out of road by the tail. I gave a bunch of people a show with that. Strangely it didn't act up and try to strike me.... I figured me being calm helped.

My newest toy on play day.

My newest toy on play day.

Now as a someone who has sailed on a ton of boats that is peculiar. Pilothouse, self tacking hank on jib? a rolling Genoa I assume? In a small trailerable package.

It looks like the people at pacific seacraft got together with the nonsuch designers to make an awesome live aboard lake boat. What is it? how is the interior is set up and how do you like sailing it.

It is a real mystery is what it is. By the HIN, it was made my International Yacht Corp. in 1976, Helsen is the boat manufacture owned by International Yacht Corp.. Helsen made the HMS in 1976 and the first months of 77 from what we can put together from the few that exist. All but one are dated 76 with the one from 77. We do not know how many hulls were made but do not think the hull numbers are correct and think he was using the lower hull mold that has the HIN from another boat he made and added the pilothouse molded deck. The boat has an inner and outer fiberglass mold, meaning I have gel coat on my roof and floor. The vee birth has a marine head/porta potti, mine came with the porta potty options. Then there is the kitchen dining area with the walk way offset on one side of the keel bump making a long kitchen galley on the short side with a double burner, built in deep insulated cooler and then a sink with pump handle water. The dining side seats four and makes into a double birth. There is a brochure online that shows the boat being marketed as a Allmand 23 but mine clearly has Helsen sail logo and marks it as a Helsen 23. So some call theirs an Allmand, I think all are Helsen's because none are dated 77 except one, all others are dated 1976 and the Allmand brochure is dated 77. So far only sailed it Sunday, sailed nice. Still need to do some adjusting, tighten the back stay to give it more weather is number one. Love the wheel steering and more weight, no fighting the tiller like in my Potter. Oh and the head sail is not a genoa, more a yankee.

Oh and forgot to add that it is an inboard diesel.

I get bit by dogs for fun.

I compete in French Ring Sport which is a dog sport consisting of obedience, agility, and protection.

I’m also a police K9 handler. So my life is all about dogs.
