HAPPY BIRTHDAY RUDOLPH!

Rudolph Diesel was born in Paris France on this date back in 1858.  So if your boat still has a diesel engine that is still running well. Be sure to make a toast to Herr Diesel!

As for me I'll be toasting that my diesel engine is no longer on board. Different strokes for different folks. Oh yes and you know that this book:

is no longer taking up space on BIANKA's bookshelf.
