    Too much time on one's hands...

    ...often leads to cool stuff.

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    At first it was just pretty neat BUT WHEN THEY ADDED THE OUTBOARD MOTOR ... THAT'S WHEN THINGS TURNED AWESOME!

    I couldn't find out where the video was shot (it's certainly something you'd have a hard time pulling off in San Diego). Had to look it up but that's a Latvian flag they're flying.

    Bah, I tried doing that here last winter, but I dropped the outboard through the opening. Thankfully, it was a dry opening.

    How well do outboard motors work in sand?
