90K miles? It's getting close to broken in. I donated my Dodge Ramcharger to AMVETS with 235K on it, still ran like almost new, changed oil every 3K or so, and just before donating it, hauled the...

I'd check the Defender catalog for the sheaves, or (heaven forbid) Waste Marine if a store is close to you and you can't wait.
Check Harken on line, or ANTAL sheaves. I purchase ANTAL sheaves to...

My mom was one that always wanted me to just stay in school and get a job anywhere....a store clerk, it didn't matter. Dad left me to go my own way with a little nudge here and there to do whatever I...

I'm with Dave. I have always found the remark to be a bit somewhat offensive, even though it was first uttered by Herreshoff. I have always referred to such craft as floating bathtubs. I spent over a...

The weapons are available, but the "rebels" don't have the currency to purchase them. When you take the kernel you need to take out 2-3 of the sons, if not all of them.

When I was taking the Westlawn course and Yacht design institute, I made over a dozen forms and graphs for various aspects of the work. I received good comments from Ted Brewer on the development of...

Never a good idea.....but if you must.......

Sorry, Ed...it's ruff.

Talking to yourself is just fine....it's when you start answering yourself I would tend to get worried.

Thanks, Margo. I was a bit miffed after being assigned a place to park. Closed up the boat after making sure all the lines were in place, and rented a vehicle to start some extensive shopping and...

Probably not, but as they get older and creakier...........

I did the cost comparison thing years ago when folks were squabbling and bitching about the same thing. I figured that my 44 foot boat would cost less to park in the marina if I didn't have 7-8 feet...

In the late 70's Iceland's only source of income was the fishing industry and the U.S. The Nato base at Keflavik supplied most of it's hard currency. By virtue of the Status of Forces...

I have it on fairly good rumor status that things haven't really changed that much from the cold war days...business as usual but a bit more polite publicly.

I started to sue but decided to accept an "offer" of reconciliation.
Over a year ago I started househunting for a place in Annapolis. The price had to be under 500K as that was about what I could...

Ethel who?

My abacus dunno use batteries.
I was once in a class at GWU. Teach said no tests with electronic calculators. Not one person had a slide rule. I got stuck on a math question...a series of...

A former Sergeant, having served his time with the Marine Corps, took a new job as a school teacher, but just before the school year started he injured his back.

He was required to wear a plaster...

I tend to hum tunes or whistle, much to the consternation of those attempting to sleep.

I told ya...have the heart attack...then lose 85 pounds in a large hurry.

Sis came for a visit. She took a look at me and my clothes, which were just hanging. I wander around the house barefoot,...

I've mentioned it before...get Dr. Trachtenburgs book on modern mathematics...will teach you ways that you never thought of.

Jachow Trachtenburgs Speed System of Modern Mathematics

You'll be...

I'd build a water still.

Different problems, but I never returned to St. Augustine for similar reasons. It's not the only place on the Florida coast that has become cruising unfriendly. My only intention was to use St. Augie...

YUP! Nope I ain't agonna respond. I posted some fast explosive stuff here once before and the Chemist asked me not to, and I respect that. We do have some young folks reading this forum.

At least most of them come into the country peacefully without guns, seeking work only. The white man came with guns and robbed, killed, murdered, tortured everyone to take their land and their...

Mom, Dad, Grandad and gramma. Then a short distance to a couple friends from Vietnam.

I did sit on Philip of Macedon's throne, and ate lunch in the process.

Clean out your mail box...

Things are ruff all over. He has a family to feed also.

Why are we the only country where we have homeless without shelter, children going to bed without eating, elderly going without needed medicine, and mentally ill without treatment - yet we have a...

Good grief! I just took a look at Barometer and barograph prices. My "Cutter" design Weems and Plath now sells for $268.....I paid less than $100 and it still looks almost new....
The recording...

Dad worked alongside folks who he knew were illegals, hired to work in the oil fields in the 50's and 60's. Brought them home to dinner. Nice folks and some of the hardest working people that I have...

as I seem to recall, the bulls eye was about 3 inches in diameter......but that was quite a few years ago. All my subsequent competition was in cowboy action shooting, fast draw. I really wasn't into...

Worn out....another trip to hospital for all the extra blood letting and urinalysis etc for pre op. Still can't go bit maybe 25 yards before I'm totally tired, but the vein to my heart holding the...

It will work...but very inefficiently. It would probably be better if I wrote a few pages on the subject. Part of my employment was the design and construction of isolated "rooms" or chambers for...

I haven't seen the eagles or the pileated woodpeckers yet this year. But on the way to the hospital this morning natures garbage disposals were cleaning up a deer carcass about a mile away, and a...

Lefty has failed to mention about some of the potholes. An old Volkswagen fell into one last year and they have yet to find it.
If you should be so bold as to rent a small car or motorbike/scooter,...

It was Nixon's fault.

Up until the time some of the guys came by to help me clean out my little mini warehouses, I had the targets that I shot stuck to the inside of the door. The pistols were the Colt Woodsman and the...

Hand someone a gun...place them in a combat zone for 6 months. If they survive send them to Northern Thailand for a 60 day stay at a local monestary. Back for another 6 months in a combat zone, 30...

Damn! I knowed I wuz doin' somethin' wrong.......

Was he laid to rest in his favorite dress?

Send her on vacation for three days. I think I'm gonna try it. Pre make all the "stuffing", set it aside.....clean the chikkin', then make the dressing (soda/water) and then put the critter in a...

Thanks, Roger. I assume it was the "storm" referenced in one of your attachements. I just noticed that the forum was suddenly quiet on the subject.

I am under the impression here that Raw faith went down, but I think I missed that part somewhere when I was either locked up or doped up.......and yes, asking about the boat and the "captain".

Neighbor lady just brought me a half chikkin' that she made this morning....I sent over a pot of Chioppino last week for her and her husband.....
I didn't get all the stuff that she stuffed the...

Naw! I built a Glen-L Le Chat, then convinced a friend to do so. Then we built 2 more and pretty soon had almost a dozen. That makes for a more interesting weekend. The crowd that I worked with came...

and another tibit of info...never use copper braid for grounds, except possibly very, very short groungds around an isolation mount. The zig zag wires in the braid act to extend electrically the...

I demand a recount. I can't believe a wrong coast weenie managed to get enough bribes out in so short a time.

It just seemed to drop off the face of the earth....

Even while we sleep?
