That's a cute kid. He's likely to get help in the girl department.

When we moved to Michigan, my sons holed up in the basement playing
video games for a few weeks because they showed up here between
semesters in the middle of winter (NOT recommended. Move in the
summer.) After about two weeks, the doorbell rang and I answered.
Three pretty high school aged girls were at the door, and I assumed
they were selling band candy or something. Instead, they asked for my
middle son by name, and asked if they could come in and meet him. Mind
you, he hadn't met anyone yet. After they talked a little, he said
there was a party and could he go. I said of course, and away he
went.

Apparently, there is enough communication and common interests between
the two company towns that the word got out. He may have missed his
Texas friends, but didn't lack for companionship, that's for sure.

For his first dance, he had noticed that the local dress style was
grunge (which makes a lot of sense in a Michigan winter. Layers, you
know.) He decided that wasn't for him, went to the western store and
got some tight blue jeans, white shirt, and boots, then borrowed his
brother's big belt buckle. The next day I asked him how the dance
went. He said it was awful, he got really dehydrated (said with a
**** eating grin). Then he said he couldn't get to the water fountain
through the women wanting to dance.

Somehow, I don't recall dances being like that when I was young. Of
course, he's a lot better looking. Takes after his mother, I guess.

the girls to dance. Nowadays, it's a wee bit different .

Iggy, after your son gets done with his boat and moves to other things,
BE SURE to put it in a safe place. That boat will be priceless to you
in a few years (about the time your son's learning to drive). I have a
number of my daughter's little projects stashed here and there and my
eyes always water a little when I come across them.

Great! Looks like a fun kid, too.

I've spotted a couple of dies for your hydraulic crimper which
are currently at very attractive prices on eBay:

290087265251 #8 (red)

290087265905 #4 (yellow)

I forget what size you already have (one of the two red ones, I think),
but both of these are starting at $14.95 with about two days 17 hours to
go.

I finally got the final ones for my collection -- so I am
complete all the way through 4/0.

Good luck,
DoN.
