Better to avoid problems than to solve them. You'll never live long enough to make them all yourself.

Wonders will never cease. I actually like the octopus on the wheel.
Of course, everything else, including the owner, is fractally fucked.

The autopilot isn’t too loud. I can still hear Doug boasting.
Yup......and over on Farcebook, Delusion Dugg replied to query about this video with his usual charitable brilliance:
"Doug Jackson Author
No. I've answered my quota of stupid comments for this month. I trust you can refrain from making a stupid comment till the video is out.
7h"
And that is just one of a slew of problems with Dugg. He has difficulty distinguishing between a question and a comment! Besides, what kind of social media idiot actually establishes "quotas" for such things anyway? Fragile egos thrive on the raw numbers of responses/comments/ clicks/ thumbs up etc....
So here is a challenge for Big Brained Dugg: I trust.....make that ..... I hope... you can learn to tell the difference between a question and a comment. That'll be some good lernin' fer ya right there Dugg and reduce the number of incidents where you show off your charmingly abrasive, obnoxious, raised-by-wolves-yet-covered-in-excrement social skills. And that is not even your bad side.

Geez Pete, tell us how you really feel😂
I do endeavor to be polite,sail4beer, within the realm of reasonableness. If I slipped slightly this time, I plead lack of caffeine and an over abundance of jackassery from the truly despicable Dugg. Apologies are available however, for the one time only low price of a cold beer.

He didn’t make it. Someone gave it to him. He then took a grinder to make it fit to his crappy and lopsided wheel.
That makes belt driven side wheels an option! Bearings, prop, shaft and rudder no longer matter. If he can independently reverse a wheel he can even maneuver. The wheel housing can double as outriggers. Epic welding possibilities overcome several critical design flaws. Maybe he can spin it as a an homage to Great Eastern. He can rename it the S’Eastern (Subpar Eastern)

one of his okey cousins is bound to have an old D7 cat to donate here, just drop the engine and drivetrain into the engine room, weld off to the right height and with a coupla holes in the side..........voila..... instant paddle wheeler, linking drive train to helm should take up close to a year or so of "Logical thought" processes though
Dugg, if you read this: It‘s important sure the paddle shafts have -5’ camber (toe out), so seawater spray can lubricate the seal.

Dugh has installed a diesel/electric/hydraulic yarn spinner something like this one. Wool watch caps for sale soon.

I didn't realize till tonight he built and dumped yet another vessel - not just a wooden sub but also an aluminum one. Another failure to fullfill its purpose; decided to sell it instead and start another project. Quite a track record.
