Dad. Husband. New Englander. Sailor. Maker of things. Too Patient. Disabled these days. ALS. And yes, I love to cook for others and myself.

Last time around we were sitting quietly at anchor and this bunch of yahoos with trump flags went by honking and scaring off the ospreys. Moorons

That means you get to play the game where you try to recall getting the spare filled when you swapped it out.

An A2 milk protein fan here. There is a local dairy, High Lawn Farm, that is Jersey cows only. I use their milk in moderation and it’s way better for me than most other milk.

The fiddle has a very long history as a non-classical music instrument. I think of jazz violin as an extension of those traditions.

Having been driving in Boston for nearly 50 years I’ve gotten calmer. I recently drove through Fargo, Minneapolis , Chicago, and Cleveland on my way back home. It was interesting watching people drive in a more dangerous yet polite manner than Boston.

No thank goodness. They won’t flush unless the lid is down. And sealed.

Most are not, I agree. European boats often have the lavac.

I beg to differ. The lavac heads are different than typical groco/raritan/jabsco. The have sealed lids and the pump develops a vacuum. If they are not sealed they do not function.

There are toilets available. Known as vacuum flush. The lid is sealed!

Fairly common on boats ( I’ve used these)

As my wife and I say (with respect ) “She’s nice, but I wouldn’t want to piss her off.” I put my wife (with respect) in that category. These are our friends!

Trivia: Naugahyde originally came from Naugatuck , Connecticut I think they may have been hunted to extinction in the wild. Only farm raised Naugas are used now.

Flashbacks to sight reading practice with trombone. No preview just read it cold and you better be reading ahead while playing. One shot.

I love seeing what other people cook for themselves. If I’m alone shrimp risotto with sautéed spinach. Or carbonara (no cream extra yolk) and sautéed spinach.

I’m fluent in many guis and command lines. And for me, though for years I used a Linux desktop as my daily driver, the answer is Windows or OsX. It’s the applications I need that drive my is choices. Not the other way around.

I saw Liquid Sky in a theater when it was released. I enjoyed it. The third of the audience that walked out apparently did not.

I’ve got a boxer with elrs. I am getting back into rc after a break. I’ve been mixed soaring and power and free flight. Current build is a sub 250 gram (no FAA) 27” span aerobatic of my own design. My big plane is a Bubble Dancer with 350 watts in the nose. 52 oz. Fun.

I’ve noticed many poor quality answers to technical searches. Best case the answers are irrelevant to the search. Worst case just plain wrong.
