Jeezus. I didn't say I was proud of their leaders or proud of the wars, I said I was proud of the veterans. Big difference.

Memorial Day is coming up. Anyone proud of our Veterans? I sure am tho I've never been one.

Yeah, I never really understood this. Why is he associated with the nazis? (Yes, Google is my friend, but then I wouldn't need friends in the bilge, would I? :) )

Yeah, but he dressed better than Meatloaf. :)

There are whole college courses devoted to your question. And you want us bunch of yokels on a boat forum bilge to take a spear at it? :D :D

Altho I would just add that his Sigfried Idyll is one...

While anchored in Eagle Harbor this last weekend, I had the pleasure of seeing the schooner Dolores M. Jackson ghost by.

I used to wear an analog wristwatch. Then the first digital watches appeared, liquid crystal, so I would smuggly laugh at people with those because it now took two (human) hands to tell the time, one...

If it was a "backup", simply toss it, buy a new one and backup everything again. However, I'm suspecting it was an archive not a backup.

There were also some game shows and variety shows that are now on YouTube where you can see old clips of famous people. What's My Line has clips of Salvador Dali, Frank Lloyd Wright, Eleanor...

Oops. Sorry I didn't followup on reporting from Seattle. The weather turned nice so I'm anchored in Eagle Harbor. Can't see NOOD from here. :)

Did see a beautiful schooner ghost in the bay by me...

My god. 33, less than half my age. That's just not fair. It's not enough, but condolences and your advice will be heeded.

I think the best thing about a Shopsmith is the carny barker at the county fair selling them.

My favorite is #4, the Alfa Sprint Speciale. I've owned several Alfas, but always wanted one of those.

Oops. What I watched last night wasn't Sea Hunt, but Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. Sea hunt was Lloyd Bridges?

Watched Sea Hunt last night, the one where they tangled with a monster whale ala Moby Dick. Most of the shows mentioned above have shown up in the last few years. One I haven't found is "Space 1999"...

I used one for a while and altho I found all the tools to be pretty decent quality, having to reconfigure for every little task drove me nuts. Maybe others can plan projects better than I but I...

Actually that's not bad advice. My current saw, pic above, is mounted on casters with a peddle lifting mechanism that works well. I guess I thought that storing it at 90 degrees would help save...

You mean that is a float not a boat? So much for phones as viewing devices too. :)

I thought that Viking boat was black when I saw it last. Did they wood it or is this a different boat?

Thanks for the generous offer Nicholas. But I think I'm going to put the purchase off a little while, this time of year I'll start using the boat instead of working on it. But it seems everyone...

Nick: pm me which house. Mine is sixth house south of park.

It wasn't a quiet week in Lake Wobegon?

Love Pense's voice, but she didn't have a lot if stage appeal did she?

And as long as I'm here, I have to say something about "Louie Louie". I hate that song. I was in a rock band in the early sixties. We were constantly asked to play that POS. It is three boring assed...

Someone mentioned the San Francisco sound. Not that well known, but I always liked Lydia Pense and Cold Blood.
(Don't know who the picture is on this video, but it's NOT Lydia Pense.)

Anybody like the sound of a Hammond B-2?

Literally May 17th. Norwegian National Day. Kind of like Cinco de Mayo but with akvavit instead of tequila (probably offending two groups with one sentence :) ). I'm not Norwegian but living in...

Clink!

I just came down to the marina to check out NOOD and look for the six meters for Mick but they aren't here yet. Maybe I'll wander into town for the parade. The Norwegian Cinco de Mayo and I'm all out...

I'm down at the regatta but the sixes aren't here yet. Most of the local fleet parks at Port Madison which is about five miles straight across from Shilshole. What foreign boats there are may be...

NOOD is going on right below my house as we speak. No sixes out right now, but a good sized fleet of T-Birds and I think I also see maybe some Solings and maybe some J-24s (from here I can only be...

Fifteen years old is pretty new compared to what I'm using. But I still may opt for something with a few more doodads.

Would paste wax work on the aluminum top? I know some woodworkers don't like to wax the table as it can interfere with finishing, but I've never found that to be a problem.

Budget? Probably whatever I can convince her that I can save by building something for the house if only I had a decent table saw. :D

Altho space is a more important factor for not getting a...

Dang. Blade inserts I can deal with, but noise is not good, and I'm used to waxing my cast iron top so things slide like butter. Altho aluminum wouldn't have the rust problem I have occasionally on...

I've been using this pre-war Craftsman for many years, and in spite of it's limitations, I have managed to make it work quite well for my needs. I upgraded bearings and fine-tuned some accuracy...

Found this great page on this boat.

I suppose everyone has a different idea about what constitutes a pretty boat, but these always do it for me. It's "Olympic", which I am guessing is a converted halibut schooner. Seattle has a great...

My first choice, always handy.

There we go. I think that is exactly what I'm looking for. Plus the link has some info on how to apply. Thanks.

Thanks for the help. Again, color matching is not the problem. One, the exact color is not critical for what I am doing, and two, color matching and color theory is a big part of what I do for a...

I understand color theory, the problem I have is understanding the opacity. Are the stains you recommend opaque? Do you put them on thick and let them set before wiping off? Seems like I end up...

How does one achieve a color like this on mahogany? This happens to be a picture of the schooner Martha, but this is kind of the color I keep trying to achieve and failing. Mine usually end up too...

Snoose burns 1.6 gal/hr at 7.5 knots at 1250 rpm. I have an engine hour meter and I also dipstick the tanks. The engine is a Detroit 3-71 and I don't really know the HP. 3-71s vary a lot depending on...

I've been using a Dell for years with an automobile adapter made for it. Output is 20vdc 4.5 amps.

There are a couple of pix of these in this thread on the first two or three pages.

Sorry Paul, I forgot the smiley. And yeah, it's overcast here too, snow later this afternoon I hear. :)

I didn't know that. Stop by sometime. I'll pm the address.
Do you have a boat on A dock?

What?! There's no blue sky over Whidbey this morning? You really need to get into the city more.

Sorry about the phone camera pix, not very close or clear.
