this week is the start of the pre-Massive Murray Paddle preparation crunch.

[kels_316@aus.social]

then next week is boat week, quite a bit to do on the big boat and a few little things on the tinny. Plenty of time if I keep moving.

[liamvhogan@aus.social]

@Kels_316 don’t forget the bungs! Wouldn’t want to be that guy at the ramp hey

[kels_316@aus.social]

@liamvhogan oh man, I've been that guy precisely enough times to have extreme PTSD about putting in the bungs.

[liamvhogan@aus.social]

@Kels_316 one of my jobs today is to buy some more bungs for a boat that was supplied with exactly one (1) bung

[kels_316@aus.social]

@liamvhogan both boats have two sets, it's the bare minimum.

[liamvhogan@aus.social]

@Kels_316 I am a boat designer. What colour shall I make this essential piece of equipment, well known for being lost or misplaced in the dark? Let’s make it black

[kels_316@aus.social]

@liamvhogan hmm never thought of this before but 3D printed glow in the dark bungs.

[liamvhogan@aus.social]

@Kels_316 would buy, at a premium

[allrite@masto.allrite.at]

@liamvhogan @Kels_316 Don't stop there: 3D printed, glow in the dark, network enabled bungs with GPS trackers.

[liamvhogan@aus.social]

@allrite @Kels_316 ramp-side vending machine selling spare bungs for $50

[jpm@aus.social]

@liamvhogan @allrite @Kels_316 you’d make a fucken fortune, as long as the machine keeps working

[liamvhogan@aus.social]

@jpm @allrite @Kels_316 the more I think about this the move I think you’re right, it would probably be profitable until the powerful store of hatred it would create ended in someone driving their Dodge Ram into it

[jpm@aus.social]

@liamvhogan @allrite @Kels_316 bollards as part of the installation

[liamvhogan@aus.social]

@jpm @allrite @Kels_316 honestly though why doesn’t this exist. Selling bait, fish hooks, sunscreen, etc.

[jpm@aus.social]

@liamvhogan @allrite @Kels_316 bait might be a bit too far, but the rest of it, for a day of fishing, sure
