The theory as I understand it in quantum physics is that the universe is all connected through sting energy. This means that anything that happens in one part of the universe affects all parts of the universe. Interesting theory but what the hell does that have to do with project boats you may ask? Well I will endeavor to explain.
Having recently had a parting of the ways with my appendix, it deciding it no longer liked me and wanting out I have been recovering from the required surgery. ...

Ok so maybe I didn't but I really want to make it look like I did. One of my projects this weekend was to fix the repair I made last winter.

Crap we are starting another century already! Seems like we just went through all that y2k crap and here we are 10 years later. Well in that time i have completed 3 project boats (ok so the one I am on now is not technically complete.) I have had the idea for Project Boat Zen lurking in the dark depths of my mind for a long time now and I am finally doing something about it. So with the start of this new year and this new decade I hope to get it fully going once and for all.
