A few years ago, I was talking to a person who owned a large (65 ft. or so) boat which ran around en route to a well-known regional boat show. The person said that the authorities stood by waiting...

The truck had escort cars(s). The load on the truck was massive and very strong...yes, it was empty. One theory I have heard is the escort car was not position correctly to advise of impassible...

Gee, sorry nobody helped you within nine hours. You could wait further. Or you could do a search and look among the answers about this which already exist.

I am neither the quickest witted nor the fastest typist on the block, so it takes me quite a bit of time to answer a question...So when someone comes on and asks essentially..."How do I refinish...

By the way...a proper way to dispose of leftover paint and varnish is to dump it into a garbage can of sawdust, left it dry and toss dried varnish and sawdust.

Grandkids are the big reward....forget about the rest...

for very small jobs, buy small cans. for larger jobs, buy multiple quarts. never buy gallons unless a very unusual large job.

otherwise...compared to prep, varnish is cheap...you have more...

given the fact that the interior of the mill had conditions less than ideal, the video looks terrific...great shooting!

donn, it's past your bedtime...you've got a lot of spelling to correct tomorrow.

My theory on the fanboi thing...I assume you are of a certain age, Norman...if true you will recall ads for autos on the pages of glossy magazines. There would be a glossy new Buick parked in front...

Sorry donn, I have lost interest in your metaphysical theories. I trust you will find something better to do with your time.

In the meanwhile here's a report from the Genius Bar:...

Is it so difficult to understand that your entire argument is founded on the slender reed that he _may_ have given significant amounts of money, but these transactions were secret? Your theory is...

donn, what is the amount of giving? is it comparable to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Jobs was invited, like Warren Buffett to join forces and he refused. Not to hold Gates & Co. up as a...

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. yeh, "perhaps" he did. Nothing much to do today uh, donn.

Who cares what you think...but it's well known that he was not a charitable person. He exhibited some traits that could be described as sociopathic.

Dear Donn,
During his life, Steve Jobs had a reputation of not being charitable...to say the least.

"Well, Apple did not do anything illegal..." seems to be an emerging mantra here. I will leave it to others more sophisticated to parse that. It is obvious that Apple is continuing an extreme self...

My point exactly...whether or not Apple is worse, I will have to let economists get a headache over that one. It is certainly a fact that over the years Apple has been enormously successful. This...

Yes, and they use Chinese slave labor like most electronic manufacturers. It does make them seem a bit less exceptional like the fans would like to think...This is what propelled the Mike Daisey...

Yet my comments are attractive enough for you to check them out.

Let me make a comment about my posting strategy. Most will note that I have two themes to which I repeatedly return:
1. The...

Not content to rack up huge profits by selling its gullible fan base over-priced and under-powered computers, Apple now faces congressional scrutiny for hiding these profits from the taxing...

Yes, his body was found about 10 years ago. Some items were retrieved. The finders piled some rocks on the body.

A couple weeks ago I went to the Mt. Rainier Film Festival...it's run by a member of the Whittaker family...of Mt. Everest fame...there was a block of mountain climbing films...on one of them it was...

too bad. it was a nice boat.

devolution is a wonderful thing.

Is that what it was?

Ummm, maybe the fact that he says that he spends more on Apple products than he does on his family?

It's getting a little scary over in Kool-Aid land:

Why is Nancy's head so big? Frightening.

I worked on a job in southern Oregon...we would order from Fisheries. I was impressed with their shipping. A large part of their business is shipping to Alaska.
It's amazing (and sad that the Bay...

Don't understand people that recommend West Marine or Jamestown....Why not go to a real chandlery...certainly cheaper than West... and the staff is more knowledgeable. www.fisheriessupply.com

Some never emerge from the depths. Sad.

Excuse me. Why would posting the same old question yet again produce anything but the same old answers? (!) The proof of that is this thread.
And in any case, it's considered poor manners on the...

It's rude to come onto a forum without doing a search to see if the question has been answered before...
It's a waste of time for all concerned. Yet how often does the forum get a the "how do I...

Norman...Microsoft is developing a version for Chromebook.

Google is your friend.

Larry Page and Sergey Brin are the founders....but I think that Eric Schmidt is more the public face.

Excuse me, Norman. Apple products have no "shortcomings."
Here have some more Kool-Ade. And Praise the Jobs!!

Antique and Classic Boat Society has a members' directory which has listings of the engines owners have. Name notwithstanding, the ACBS is mostly a runabout club. Looking there would be more...

Good doug fir is quite expensive. This suggests you are not using good doug fir.

Ok, thanks Norman.

For what it's worth: If I were consulting with Tim Cook, I would advise him to make the strongest, sh!t your pants fast, graphics and editing machine. This is how Apple built...

As you know Apple messed the bed with the last version of their editing software: Final Cut X. There has been a wholesale shift from Final Cut to Premiere. However, the Kool-Aid drinkers have not...

Well, the answer is obviously the latter. I have seen the women that you and that weasel yeadon have hooked up with...the only "rational empirical" (as you put it) explanation is just dumb luck.

Oh, and good morning right back at cha....however, if you will take my advice...if you want to be a babe magnet like the dude in the music video you are going to have to upgrade your sartorial...

And the Mac Pro has not been updated in two years. The graphics card is at least two generations behind.

Around here, since Apple messed the bed with Final Cut X, most documentarians and independent filmmakers have been switching to Adobe Premiere.

Yeh, well at the wide world bookstore at 7pm tonight, there was a talk by the Seattle rowers that have done the Atlantic...north Atlantic and Dakar to near Puerto Rico where the boat capsized....

I would guess that the power supply may be screwing up...losing three hard drives in a year is odd...I have maybe a dozen hard drives...including the external docked drives...I loose maybe...

I am afraid you won't have much to look at but a very fine drive. The chances of anything remaining are vanishingly small. Take a look at the remains of the Glory of the Seas one of the greatest...
