It’s great, I had no idea how far the Nazi’s had penetrated the US government. Mostly GOP members, what a surprise.

“History doesn’t repeat, but it rhymes”

I just had the absolute pleasure of watching “The Princess Bride” with my two grandchildren, ages 7 and 4. Neither of them had seen it before, though their father (my son) and I knew the dialogue...

Cut the B17 right in half just behind the wings. Very low altitude, so no one suffered for long, but Jesus, what a goddamn shame.

Absolutely a real tractor, designed and built to work. The Cleveland Tractor Co built big machines too, but they were known for their compact models. They were later merged with Oliver Tractor, and...

Isn't it remarkable that Cletrac figured out the (now) obvious advantages of a high-sprocket drive system a half-century before Cat "invented" it? :)

At least until after the mid-terms I’d guess.

Like this?

As far as I'm aware, except for Suzuki and Yamaha, all the other small outboards are now made by Tohatsu. If the quality is good enough for Honda to put their badges on it, they can't be too shabby....

She is lovely! She's a stout old girl though, that picture of her on the trailer reminds me of what they say about icebergs! :D

Damn that is FINE! She looks like she's in need of some love in that trailer shot though.

We’re just now fixing to put our “smaller trawler” (Albin 27) back in for the season. We only burn about 50 gals a year, so it’s not too onerous. This is especially so since we converted our home...

Thanks Paul -- I've been in stealth mode, but that (Greavette? Ditchburn?) was just too lovely to resist.

That's actually a typical, classic Ontario "Cottage Country" fender rig. In this case it's just not adjusted properly, the one line from the stern is supposed to pull all of them up parallel to the...

Maybe so, I wonder about Lake of the Woods and BC/Washington St waters?

I’ve been married to one of those for 37 years — your warning is well heeded!

Very good news here in the Thousand Islands, as of yesterday "loop movements" (cruising in Canadian waters without landing) are being allowed again for US boaters. Here's the statement from the CBSA:...

Damn! That's a steal!

“Everything (& everyone) Frump touches, dies.”

That thing is FINE!

They are varmints, cute ones perhaps, but varmints just the same. I have a dead one in the wall of my office right now -- phew! They also somehow get into the cold air return ducts of our furnace,...

When chipmunks get into your house, they cease being at all “cute”. My dad called them “rats with racing stripes” I tend to agree.

Oh, don’t get me wrong, I agree that Canada has every right to set their own border requirements. Having said that, the “no intrusion into Canadian waters” thing is a bit much. We can’t even use the...

Well, thank goodness that I found that I can get the domestic Canadian Red Rose “Orange Peko” tea on Amazon — I’d surely would have perished by now otherwise. We do miss the fajitas at the Lone Star...

True that! I've been welding (badly) for 50 years, and nothing has upped my game like FINALY being able to SEE WHAT I'M DOING! The new automatic helmets rock.

Support the blue! -- and the pink!

That would give Mike Pence the shivers.

I don’t know, my brother’s been flogging his “treacherous” 930 for over 25 years now, and he seems none the worse for it. :d

That’s great, now someone should build NY Central Hudson — and make it a Dreyfus streamliner while you’re at it.

My niece is two years out of medical school, she makes more than that.

I’ve had and enjoyed German “smoke beer” but I believe that has to be made of more ingredients than just the smoke. Perhaps they use mirrors as well?

Oh course, it's just a subjective opinion, but I still believe his early short stories are some of the finest writing I've ever encountered. Anyone who's ever held a flyrod in their hand must read...

Yup, I thought about that one too -- love live the Iron Duke!

I guess these type of lists are always just a matter of opinion, but this one seems particularly bad. As said, missing the 22R is...

Watch this take on Mr. Greenberg:

Apparently, this investigation into Gaetz was set off by his association with this particular worthy:

Damn, that was a fine drive by the champ.

Many years ago, a man rented one of the vacation cottages on our bay in the Thousand Islands. He had several small kids, so my Mom put them in the one right at the swimming beach. When they were...

In terms of atmospheric density, what would be the equivalent altitude on earth?

Why does it seem that cancer always takes the best of us?

I got in a fight with my released-time religion instructor (Catholic) when I was about 10 years old. She maintained that dogs did not have souls, and I disagreed. I told her that if my old beagle...

I’m so sorry to hear that. I lost my shop and the lifetime dream boat I was building to a fire about five years ago. Sure, it was just things, and no one was injured, but it still hurts. About those...

I would hardly use an ancient Jeep FC as an example of a modern COE truck. The Isuzu/Fuso/Hino etc delivery trucks are very comfortable to drive.

Unlike the ridiculous Tesla truck, I actually like that. It’s reminiscent of the thoroughly practical Asian cab over trucks that dominate the world market. I bet a commercial version of that with...

We just watched the “Chernobyl” miniseries on HBO last week. A horrible event, but the heroic self-sacrifice of some of responders was inspiring. I’m sure it was much the same in the Fukushima story.

Canoe stern AND raised deck? Have I died and gone to heaven?

Language warning! Also truth warning.... ;)

The new panels in that flying jib make it look like an attempt at dazzle camouflage.

My Dad turned his hardware store into the major “Liberty Garden” supply point on Long Island - and was granted a deferment to continue it. His brother, OTOH joined the Navy as a CB. He served at...

Forge blower?

For smallmouth bass? Eastern Lake Ontario and the upper St Lawrence. In the pro bass tournaments we have here now, none of the entrants even fish for largemouths anymore. The winner usually pushes...

Of course, if you're the smartest man in the world (or his brother?) you'll have it both ways.
