Spin,

My sympathies go out to you! It is always a hard call to make, no matter how necessary or inevitable it is, or how frail the pet is. Focus on the joy Cay brought you, not those last few...

ACB is correct. Give the man a lollipop!

Sealand used to make a 1-1/2 gallon tank that kept the profile pretty low. But limited capacity...a weekend for a couple of people with normal constitutions. The problem by day three was less about...

I would tend to think you could make something out of particle board and epoxy that'd do both jobs and you could 5200 it right to the dash. You guys overthink these things. One trip to Home...

No. When someone does something silly, they deserve to be told that they've done something silly, even if it come within the context of "following their dreams". All boats are an attempt to...

You're really more concerned with flow (gph) than pressure (psi). Generally speaking, the rule style centrifugal type pumps are generally rated at the output port pumping on the level. Every lbs of...

I'm not sure how the plans are for these but I'd seriously consider one of Bruce Kirby's Norwalk Island Sharpies. Here's the 23. A relatively simple straighforward design that sails very well.

If your building skills leave much to be desired, I would tend to invest the money up front in a set of plans from designers such as Fisher, Welsford, or Outred, who tend to spell things out a bit...

A check valve will seriously reduce the output max gpm of the pump and introduces a component into the system that is likely to fail or clog introducing a maintenance problem. Flapper valves are...

I think of myself as a student of history. I find that often when we pare away the verbiage of the era, that just because someone lived during another time, that they are not necessarily irrelevant...

Nice!

My Dad passed me his Stevens 5100 (precursor to the 311) double barrel 12 gauge. Despite the fact that the triggers are set up LH once I got used to it, it's a nice piece. The tenite stock...

I agree that he was a very effective attorney general for the state of CT. During his tenure in congress he's become increasingly as single issue Senator, and I thought that the Dem constituency was...

Thank all of you from parts unaffiliated. We tend to become myopic with the volume and attention drawn to domestic issues, but we are all treading on the same dirt, no matter how much we might try...

Jamie,

Our marina (non-franchise) does liveaboards down the CT coast where things aren't so cher. Let me know and I'll hit up one of the guys and find out how much.

BTW....you're an ugly Mo Fo.

Doug,

I'm somewhat a little bit further down the line, but made a lot of the same decisions that you've made. So far, no major regrets. I won't carve out a name from the granite of the history...

Vince,

A lot of the mid range copiers will scan. The lower the resolution, the smaller the file size. Scanning in B&W versus Grayscale or Color will significantly reduce the file sizes. I work...

None of our previous dogs were allowed on any of the furniture. With Heather we relented a bit and allow her up on the couch in the family room or on the futon in our bedroom. At night she sleeps in...

Some great advice here. I've already had the barrel off and want to do some general cleanup on the metal parts. Next stop will definitely be a qualified gunsmith. There are enough black powder...

Ideally, I've hunted deer with a 45 lb draw recurve with broadheads, a 12 gauge, the prospect of doing so with a punkin' slinger seems reasonable even with lower powder loads. I intend to put some...

So....it's a Springfield 1864 muzzle loader (not the trap door version). It was probably last fired by Kris' Grand-Dad when her Dad was a kid. Since then it spent the next fifty years or so in the...

Joe, some stuff that has gone unmentioned here... there are, as you well know, negatives and positives in every relationship. We live under a romantic fallacy that everything will happen the way we...

I'm surprised at you, Ish. I've always thought that Powell was a man of real integrity. The UN incident was a pretty clear case of him believing what his CIC told him was the truth and reporting it...

I had a friend who raced in a few Transpacs on a couple of the first Cal 40's. He said they were comparatively lightly built and the hulls would flex and twist in a seaway. The boats performed...

Kerchief on really cold days, but mostly just crack the visor up a notch. I'd just ride with it like that so it shouldn't take any thought at stops.

I thought it was Jo the plumber they were talking about:

Shirl,

Words fail me at this. But we all have a turn here, and Ken had a great one. So much love...from both family and friends. That is the measure of success.

Fair winds, Ken!

As we prefer to say "We then performed a percussive docking maneuver" rather than "We crashed into the dock".....

Our condolences, Penny. I always enjoyed what Dave had to add to a conversation, and will miss his honesty and helpfulness.

Thanks Gareth, that's pretty much the kind of thing I was thinking of. I was thinking of drilling a hole in the upper pintle and putting something like a piece of solder or safety wire through but...

Saturday was Soccer Game Free and a North wind at 5-10 was predicted. So after my morning chores we hooked the skiff up behind the truck and headed to Haddam Meadows, rigged and launched by 10. The...

What Tom says is true. Most boats with work-boat, or cruising heritage are built with self supporting mast with enough strength make setting the runners optional to unnecessary in light to moderate...

That's okay, just tern the other cheek.

Bread....that was David Gates, no? "If a picture paints a thousand words, then why can't I paint you"...

I've been thinking about this since last night.

By the time Winter has turned the corner, and my palms are itching for the smooth feel of yacht braid, and my ears strain for the sounds of wavelets...

Country Music? Rock & Roll?

The process of valuation is always, has always been one of negotiation. Assuming that everything has an intrinsic value it will eventually negotiate itself into some kind of stability (even the gold...

I wouldn't be surprised to see it hit 7000 in short order. Top of the market was 14K. If the assumption is that it's all real estate driven, and that real value is really somewhere around half of ...

You be the judge:

McCain III lost five U.S. Navy aircraft

"Please, don't put a strain on our already meaningless relationship." -former girlfriend

Shirl

Sending you our thoughts and positive energy. This is the part that really sucks, but I have no doubt you'll muddle through it. Our best wishes go out to both of you.

I wonder what the taxpayer spent on all those shiny jet planes he left in flames. Probably more than I'll ever contribute as a taxpayer. Have one on me, John.

It ain't sailin' if you ain't breakin' sh!t!

There are three kinds of sailors. Those that have run aground, those that are about to run aground, and liars.

"Sit down, Boy"

Thanks Paul! Coming from you that means a lot.

I don't think the next POTUS is going to have the luxury of returning to the status quo of the last 30 years. It has proven itself to be...

If I may, I'll give this a shot. First, The Problem

The problem is one of governance. Legislature and Business have become inextricably interdependent over the last 50 years. Too much so. In a...

Yes, their kind is always after our jobz and our wimminz. From a practical standpoint, as a family, we've already been "infiltrated", so I guess that disqualifies me from speaking on this, but...

All our thoughts are with you guys in this difficult time. Worse places to be than Mass General, but no place quite as good as home...

Anyone who can pull off writing a song that's an indictment of Ray Krok and have it turn out this tuneful ....that's art.
