Enjoy being empty nesters

But I really thought Hailey would be here as long as her older sister

...28

Both had prepaid college and can't believe after being accepted, Mal didn't go back for her masters

Crazy not to take advantage of such things

I really miss them being here

Well, 30 more horses
did the trick,
got me through Deception Pass,
flying, not like a brick
over that big standing wave.
And, through the Rip line at Marrowstone too,
and even the big rip at Wilson, we came through,
So, yup, it's bigger but just by a few, and man o man
What it can do.
And only 30 more horses,
Hardly more than a few.

I hear ya Harvey

I can see where 30 more horses on a flat bottomed C-Dory

would make all the difference in the world.

We have big rollers that come into Ponce Inlet here

Due to the channeling of water from the jetty

Oh, and Harvey

I see where your's has twins

I like that

And if in your situation out there I'd do the exact same thing

What are those, fifties, sixties?

Did you go from a single 90 to twin 60s for the added 30 horses?

Way nice

...or from a 70 to twin 50s?

See they're twin 40s

Did you actually have a single 50?

Would love to hear that

I'm worried about the single 70 on the one I'm trying out Thursday

Dayum

Wife just called from work

and reminded me I'm suppose to work out today

Be five years in October since I screwed-up my back

And have gained about 35 pounds

Wish I could get back below 200

But the microwave just called me with hot Chicken and Dumplin's

Wednesday is my youngest daughter's 21st birthday

This is what I got her:



Just like I've taught her

First two cartridges are shot shells

That will stop most anyone

I hope anyway


The shot shells are for squirrels and snakes.They are not reliable against anything bigger. If she needs the gun in extremis premium hollow point or something like low recoil ARX ammunition is required. Get her to a class with competent instruction, it may save her life one day.
If I am being blunt it's because being armed saved me form multiple assailants and I take this seriously.

WeekiiTiki, I know your pain! I had to order NINE Kohler toilets to get three good ones. The Koehler packaging is terrible! Mine came from HD. I just ordered a Kohler vanity and the base was broken in shipment.

I wouldn’t want to work in the Kohler shipping department...

Absolutely Chester

She's already signed up for the class

Although I'm not talking about "rat shot"

These are more like number sixes

Anyway, I'll check out the shot shells with some gelatin to see just exactly what they'll do

She's living with two other girls and they all have weird hours so there's times when she is by herself at home

Really sucks that we have to think about such things

I hear ya

really surprised me

But the vanity cabinet top is already cut for this particular sink

And FWIW: You can't go wrong with Toto toilets. They're expensive though

And Chester

We never had any problems like we have today

When all of us down here drove around with loaded rifles and shotguns hanging in our truck windows

Of course we didn't have half of NY here then either

Since HoJo and I graduated from High School

Exactly 40 years ago

The population of our county has increased six fold from 50K to nearly 300K

Wife and I used to paddle our canoe quite often

But these days you might as well forget it

Due to the hordes of kayaks coming down stream with the current

You'd be hard pressed to even get this photo these days from our old dock

Without a kayak being in it

Guess I missed the boat

Finally showed HoJo today the 22 Cruiser I'm looking at

Never thought she'd be excited about another boat

Had a convertible cruiser once and she'd get sick every time she went down into the cabin

This little dory in calm water may change all that though


You don't "go down" into the cabin- that's what great about the C-Dory

Yea Roger

Really looking forward to trying the boat out Thursday

She's making me promise to get rid of one more boat

I've still got a little 17 foot cat that I use for near shore trolling

And a motorcycle or three

When we had our house built recently the contractor and plumbers refused to install anything from Lowes or HD. Our new sinks are Kohler.
Buy your stuff at a plumbing supply store. We just bought a bathroom sink for the old house at a plumbing supply store and it was less money and nicer than HD stuff.
