This particular dog had a bite history. It should not have been there in the first place as it wasn't even the roomate's dog. In the second place, poor supervision by the so called mother caused this attack.

The dog was a known mean dog that was being kept by the crackhead mother's roomate for a while. The issue was lack of supervision. Lani should not have been allowed in the back yard with the beast. She ,will likely recover but we don't really know. We do know that she is one tough little girl. Her Dad used to call her "Face", because she had a perfect one. Hopefully she will again. I don't trust pitbulls, never have. I've met some really nice ones though so it's not the dog's fault. It's the fault of the typical culture that likes them because of their reputation. Do I think they have a higher chance of going off and causing real harm than other dogs? Yes I do. I haven't owned a firearm since 1986. It's a very good thing because there have been a few times where I would have used one had I had one. Not so much anymore..... The cops had a two hour standoff with the dog.. Two hours? Really? Just shoot the fucker and be done with it......

One of my Granddaughters was attacked and mauled three weeks ago by a Pit on too long of a chain while visiting her cracked out Mother. The dog was a known biter and got Alana's head in his mouth. Her eyelid was severed from her face along with deep lacerations in her forehead. If she hadn't thrown her arm up in reflex, the dog could've bit down all of the way and she likely would not be here. Apparently she had jammed her arm in the back of the dog's mouth, keeping it from a complete bite. She is eight and was gorgeous. Now her eyelid droops, she's scarred up and faces years of plastic work. With the docs we have around here, I'm sure she'll get close to recovered physically. Mentally? Hell, Scrappy scares her now... The dog was put down...

Mighty pretty that one...

F' Nat, the paints and colors weren't available then that are now

Hey, gorgeous color is still gorgeous...

There are a lot of gorgeous paint jobs in this thread. I can't get owners to step outta the box and let u do a custom color job on their boats.. All I get is white, white and more white... Wazzup wit dat?

Here's one for you, Charlie: Only if that plank was bare and i was the framing.... :lol:

While I don't have anything to add, old enough but wasn't sailing then, I do appreciate this thread... It fills in a few gaps in my knowledge base.

Nice to see a follow-up post...

It's always cool to have some help. Especially non-complaining and efficient help.

I remember your old boat. I thought about buying it back then but the wife didn't like it.

Nice work Zeyang. I've peeked in one this from time to time when I'm not turning perfectly good wood into sawdust on Oh Joy. I really like the lapped look in aluminum.
