Damn. That sucks.

They got the boxes back a while ago. This was about what trump** kept from the boxes when they were returned. Keeping some of the stuff was a crime, but so was taking all the boxes in the first...

If I decide to replace the 2011 4HP Tohatsu on our sailboat this winter I’ll probably get one of the Mercury propane outboards. This one even has a alternator for charging the house batteries:

Can you post some photos for us?

So how was the Regatta? The pics I saw on FB looked fantastic.

Happy Birthday, Bob! Hope it’s a good one.

Thanks, Jeff. We need more posts about small adventures like these.

Our new Fidium fiber optic install is scheduled for tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed that it’ll go well. They said to clear out the area in the basement where the cabling will need to go so I think...

Glad it’s been smooth so far. Looking forward to the new thread.

$45,000,000? I guess that’s a start.

From the forecast it looks like the ERR will be a drifter this year.

I need to get/make some cheapo oars. I just can’t bring myself to leave Mary’s fancy Shaw And Tenny oars on the dinghy rack down at East End Beach. It’s hard enough leaving the HumbleBee there. But...

We’re planning on riding up, sounds like fun.

Stainless steel should not be encapsulated. It needs the presence of oxygen to resist corrosion.

Darn, I was hoping to see her. Happy belated.

I’d like to see Jones do some real time for perjury. Make an example of him for all the other MAGA liars out there.

Who hasn’t learned a lot from Jim’s epic thread(s)? I know I have.

At least I had a PFD on…

Izzat Tim?

4 million dollars? Compensatory. That’s a joke.

Lets hope the punitive damages are a lot more.

Our youngest is just getting over it. Mary and I are the only ones in the family that haven’t had it yet.

Why did I say that? Doh!

Five years in jail for perjury will give him plenty of time to think about his version of the truth.

Maybe not. Jones was in the “war room” at the Willard Hotel with all the other seditious traitors who planned the coup. Could it be the smoking gun that brings them all down?

I’ve heard Fuller will customize their bits to exactly fit your screws if you just send them one. Thicker shank included.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen Goulet Specialities at the boat show...

I’ve used the shore based version and it works just fine. How long before we get some competition?

Is it illegal to take ballots from voters like that? It does seem super sketchy.

Chinese State media is freaking out:

Same, same.

I think Goulet Specialities has the old Reed And Prince machines.

We do three people plus gear often out to the mooring in our HumbleBee. Could probably do four if it was very calm. Tows great, too.

Fog! We haven’t had much of that down here in Portland this summer yet.

Old news. From a year and a half ago.

Peach harvest is still at least a month away here. But they are my favorite.

A tax on the mathematically challenged.

This. Looks perfect.

I like it. Some lag screws through the step into the stem, maybe.

For the stern is there a transom knee? If not maybe add one? Then attach to that or if you do attach to the transom it’ll be a...

For sale in NH not long ago. Wow, this thread brings up some memories.

I have no idea how the software could allow a new member to take the same username of a longtime poster even after a lifetime ban.

Obviously the new Botebum is but a mere shadow of the real...

If you could make this music festival on your way to the ERR it would be amazing:

Have fun at the ERR. I’m in Brooklin right now but I don’t think I will be here for the ERR this year. I’ve been a few times over the years, it really is a fun event. The excitement at the start with...

Pretty cool that the real Botebum’s posts are still here in the archives.

Too hot to work on the boat but a nice evening for a sail around the Benjamin River.

Especially with that Recluse bite!

And the night before Paul Simon played the Newport Folk Festival for the first time ever.

Second post in a month. I was wondering if he quit. Where is our boat Prön when we need it?

Fixed.

And a passenger is extra.

For us on the Orient Point Ferry last month it was $180 round trip with the two of us.

If you edit them in your phone, even the tiniest bit, then when you post them they will be right side up.

Why is everyone so shocked at global climate change? Scientists have been warning us about this for decades.
