You missed this last Friday but it may be worth stopping in to see what they have:...

Golf as a participatory sport has been on the decline for decades. I'm guessing the PGA is desperate for viewers and lush TV contracts.

Golfing takes too long and families want to do more with...

'All The Missing Souls" by David Sheffer, my college roommate and subsequent Ambassador-At-Large for (International) War Crimes Issues under Madeline Albright and President Clinton....

I'd say the Hoyt boom is not an improvement. A neighbor has an Alerion 19 and he was wondering if we wanted to go partners on it with him. He isn't here much and wanted to share the costs, etc. I...

My daughter gave me a subscription a few years ago. I wrote stories of my life; youth, sibling rivalries, school days, college, meeting their mother, our life before children, my career(s), hobbies,...

The market is the people who believe this is real.137865

I've got a 2009 Chevy Colorado that suits me just fine. It's one of the mid-size pickups.

I take the time to rest after unloading the moderate loads. I've been to the local dump three times today...

Survey numbers about conspiracy beliefs here. 10% believe the flat earth hypothesis: https://carsey.unh.edu/publication/conspiracy-vs-science-a-survey-of-us-public-beliefs

A college girlfriend's roommate was an Angelique. I don't think she liked that I absorbed so much of her roommate's attention. "Angel" was French and they spoke in it from time to time. I didn't and...

Congratulatuons. It IS a long road isn't it, and takes such perseverance!

The same for my son-in-law. The volunteering while he was an EMT trainer served him well getting into med school. They are...

These were cool. '63 VW Double Cab Transporter

A balanced diet always includes items from the beer and chips group.

Take my shots with more of the girls I admired.

In his late teens my older brother had a a couple of friends who were twins. They took the body off an MGA then made and mounted a different one out of fiberglass to make it look like one of these...

I helped build a 32' S&S design suited for a couple, one of whom had Parkinson's. The wife, a doctor, was determined to extend their enjoyment of cruising Nantucket Sound for as long as it would be...

A "chugboat".

The kind where you'll sit pounding down brews with the guys, in this case noodling out how to repair the horn timber without ripping the whole stern off.

A doorstop for my bedroom door. It was cast iron horse about eight inches high, heavy as hell. At night it made me feel safe that no monsters would get in as long as 'Heavy Horse' held my door...

The blocks of wood resting on the deck are oarlocks with single thole pins. They just haven't been mounted yet. A rower would likely do best by fitting a moveable box to sit on. I wouldn't bother...

SCOTUS has ruled in favor of eugenics, forced sterilization, racial segregation, internment for citizens based on ancestry and more.

Hmm.

Nothing to see here, Alito?

I worked for Cummins Diesel for a number of years. Their 'claim to fame' was that their diesel entry (1931) has been the only one to ever complete the race without pitting for fuel....

Boats don't have parking brakes... or any other kind for that matter.

My wife had never cooked or babysat, etc., when we married. Her first attempt at a meal included a tuna casserole. It came out of the oven as a hard brick. We laughed about it.

In the fifty years...

Hot dogs in white-bread buns covered with mashed potato, topped with French's yellow mustard under hot, melted Velveeta cheese. A recipe on the Velveeta box.

Gag.

What spectators, sadly, at least in person on the water? Viewing those races at the time was pretty much unavailable except from private yachts, limited access spectator boats and support vessels...

Re the math: Less than 70% of eligible voters do so at the national level (probably far fewer in state and local races). That's about 160 million voters. IF 50% are GOP voters then 50% of 70% (or...

Perfect. Well said.

I gave my set to my son-in-law and he quotes some of the more 'nautical' lines to us every once in a while. Like this about our daughter/his wife when they had a little disagreement during Christmas...

Hahahahaha! "Damned with faint praise" is the term that comes to mind.

With a two year horizon for the debt ceiling in consideration I've bet now's the time to boost an investment in equities. We'll see how it works out!

He's more rational than any GOP running. He also has the best healthcare in the nation. Remember Trump being flown by helicopter directly from the WH to a suite at Walter Reed and having numerous...

Great job of it. What hp motor and is it a good size for the boat?

Great job of it.

Did anyone here listen to the Twitter Space announcement after it finally worked? The idea of doing it there seemed so oddly creepy to me. The gaslighting, disembodied voices reminded me of the Big...

I've still got all my WBs since 1974 and more than 250 books. It's not healthy! :O

Not really. She much prefers the apartment as do her children and grandchildren when visiting. None of them wanted the house anymore. Too many disturbing memories of his betrayals while they'd all...

Seconded

This Alaskan legislator may agree with you....

Here's one, not mine, but might be worth a look and an offer.

A concerning split among predominately red and blue states.

Like your current Sawyers, Cabela's has stout inexpensive ones that can be trimmed and made more delicate if wanted. https://www.cabelas.com/shop/en/caviness-laminated-boat-oar

I was passing through Benjamin River a number of years ago on my way to watch the start of the Eggemoggin Reach Regatta. Doug and his crew aboard his Knarr were trying to make their way out of the...

I'd be on it if they made an Ed Roth 1961 'Beatnik Bandit' EV.

It was one of my first model car kits:

Yes they can, and the event includes kayaks, SUPs, etc. It's just not in the strict category of 2000 meter collegiate and Olympic 'flat water' crew races on straight, buoyed courses or events like...

"Classic Rowing": Despite the end of the Blackburn and Small Reach Regatta there's still the Short Ships Regatta, the Seventy48, assorted raids, etc.

I didn't know what the nurse gave me before mine but while I was lying there waiting for the doc I said,

"My my, whatever it is you gave me is very relaxing."

Her response:

I was shocked to pay the cash toll for the George Washington Bridge last spring: $16 one way.

But I hadn't driven through NY since 2005 so maybe shouldn't have done so, either taken that route or...
