Prepping My Boat for the End of the World

Funny part is, after hitting post on the above, I quickly googled to make sure I didn't miss a given meaning of 'nubile.' After I found I was safe, I was like "damn my lack of confidence in my vocabulary!"

Women already have all this stuff figured out. They invented divorcing us and getting half our stuff - We invented shacking up and not getting married - They invented common law marriage.

All they gotta do is make it past teh mark on the calendar and they are guaranteed half your stuff - And I hear they are trying to lower the time to an overnight hookup or at least a dirty weekend...

WTF?

(OK - call me cynical...)

a pressure cooker with a bit of copper pipe makes a handy still...

I hear that was a quranic mis translation:
It's not 72 virgins, but a 72 year old virgin...

I have 30 year old ammo that I tested 5 years ago - no problem. BANG!

Not stored on a boat though - hmmm.

Got a mate ( friend ) who runs all his diesels on veggie oil . he collected it from fish and chip shops and Thai restaurants. He drove his land cruiser from one end of Australia to the other and then motored his boat from Australia to the Solomons with it . Even saw him chucking in the oil from his sardines through the coffee filter he used before it went into the fuel tank ( waste not want not)

So I am pretty sure coconut oil could work ... just got to hope there are still coconuts. And you have the strength or know how to press it out.

You do need something to get the motor started initially though, so some kind of flammable fuel is still required ... rum? hmmmmmm might gum the works up a bit . sugar and an engine do not seem like a good idea at any time. vodka maybe?

Another slightly tangential thought... since I am a relatively nubile wench, does that mean I get to stack a couple of muscular , useful with a knife and machete, males below for use to crack those nuts occasionally?

The thing I want to know is, how long do you need to stay offshore till the stink on land goes away? and those Zombies have starved, so you can collect the coconuts.

btw, its always better to take most of what I say with a pinch of salt.
for example when you read ' relatively nubile wench' ... I actually mean , well built , slightly tough, gentle natured married woman with a seriously warped sense of humour. A couple of well built six packs (extra crew) would come in handy though. ;-)

heheheh, that one made me smile, thank you !
