The Pass Pub: The High-End Off Topic Thread

Since my pub days are few and far between these days and the fact that I don't really have to go to work anymore, Uncle Cal has tried to keep busy at other things.
He was gifted an 8 foot, soft hull, rubber dinghy. I have used it as poor mans air conditioning but I decided to do something more.
Yes, what you see is a propeller shaft that you hook to your cordless drill. Hopefully this will make the oars obsolete. I was especially thinking of ZM when I got this, as he seems to be right up there in the wacky, oddball, old guy things. It was tested in that large recycle container you see and scared the chocolate out of me with the thrust. Especially with the impact drill. I think I said: Oh my Jumping Jimminy as it flew out of the container and nailed my neighbours car.

BTW, I have the two drills and also just bought a couple bigass 8Ah batteries to go with the 1.5's that came with the drill set.
Tomorrow morning this all gets put to the test. The buddy who gave me the rubber raft will be the first mate.
Captain Cal rides the briny again. I am hoping this is not the last time you hear from me.
