Well, Olli made a nice try to get back on topic, but this train wreck of a thread already has the word "Infusion" in it more than Capricorn, followed closely by "poo" now. So I like Rolf's new tack.

Rolf - in the US, we potty train much later than many other countries. My daughter will be three in July and I'm just now getting to the point that we can go extended periods with her in panties rather than a diaper. I'm more than a little frustrated that her school requires that she be potty trained by the start of the fall term, but they do nothing to continue the efforts we're expending at home. She's at the point where you have to ASK her if she needs to use the restroom. She'll tell you if she does and everything is great. If you don't ask, she'll mention it only after it is too late. In all other regards, I'm over the moon about her school and the educational program there.

I have found it terribly interesting how other cultures pursue this little project. Americans might find it absurd to try potty training as early as the age of one, while someone from Africa might find it abhorrent that children walk around in diapers at age three here. Lots of reading on the subject.

Trey, are you still reading this? LOL!

Wouter and I have continued our discussion via PM - which is where it should have gone to begin with.

Olli - I'm planning right now to come and build the boats with you guys depending upon delivery date. Wife has a couple of commitments in the first week of May that could conflict, so as details emerge, obviously let's talk more.

Y'know, I bought line, blocks and a carbon hot stick last year - I've had the trailer for a couple of months... nice to think I'll finally have a boat to go with the accessories.
