There's a lot to be said positively for Seattle if one doesn't look at it through R colored glasses. It has crime, yes but it's not in the top 50 most dangerous places to live and it's crime rate is generally lower than similar sized cities. That said, I think the city council made a major...

I've been very happy with Progressive for my boat. Bundled with home and auto, it reasonably priced for the coverage and they've been responsive when I've needed them.

I'd take it. I'll be up in Anacortes in the coming week and could drive by. PM me if you still have it.

I agree with TR. The bait is probably fine. Sometimes placing a pot just a few 100' in one direction or the other makes all the difference. I did a set this year in which we pulled maybe 20 prawns in 4 pots that soaked for 90 minutes. I moved the pots a 100 yards or so and pulled about 230...

2.5 feet should be enough. With the engines trimmed up a bit, I draw maybe 20". Of course this is load dependent.

One of the things about expert opinions and experts in general is that it can be hard to differentiate a true expert in a field without having a little expertise of your own. For example, if you've never owned a boat or worked on an engine yourself, you might have a hard time differentiating a...

Only 40# of fishing gear? Are you really even trying??? I guy needs 8-10 rods and reels minimum (and that's just on the boat). Then at least 25 different flashers, 20# of lead weights, 117 different spoons, 15 different divers and don't even get me started on the number of squid/hootchies and...

When will Mike and Will be offering the C-Brat branded aluminum foil hats? I think we need some.

Charlie (CaptainsCat) had his on a a boat lift in the Chesapeake bay.

One addition. Depending on the type of vaccine, the vaccine will do more than just produce antibodies. Vaccines can also induce specific T-cell responses that will help fight the virus. The mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) and the adenovirus vaccines (J&J + others) will also generate good...

My day job is as faculty member in one of the top 10 microbiology departments in the world. While I don't have "first hand" experience with that treatment, I have read the scientific literature related to it and I just got done teaching a course the was entirely a lay audience view of SARS-CoV2...

And you remind me of why I rarely visit the C-Brats anymore. It's really mostly you.

Not really. In all clinical trials or drug/vaccine roll outs there are always examples of "adverse events" that are time correlated with administration of the drug/vaccine in a small percentage of people. In clinical trials, there are placebo controls and it's easy to tell if the cases with...

I've had similar discussions with religious individuals (including relatives). I always point out that homosexuality occurs throughout the animal kingdom. Hence if one's definition of "natural" is things that occur in nature, then homosexuality is indeed quite natural. People confuse "most...

Science will also tell you that those are not the only combination of sex chromosomes that occur naturally in the human population. XXY, XYY, XXXY all occur in frequencies of 1 part in a few 1000. I knew an individual who was XXY and who had both male and female parts. He both identified and...

As long as you don't use the same password for C-Brats as you do for other web sites (and in particular other sites with financial connections), you should be OK. For sites like the C-Brats, I use "throw away" passwords and don't care if the passwords are compromised. For all financial sites...

If you are coming from a place with a sling launch and going to a place with a sling launch, a flat bed trailer with cribbing and or heavy foam support underneath might be the best option.

I switched my macerator pumps over to the Whale Gulper Grouper pumps several years ago and have never looked back. They pump a bit slower than the Jabsco macerator pumps but they have lasted WAY longer. As I indicated in some text messages between Joe and I earlier in the year, when I had the...

I love the Ocean Sport Roamers but they are priced about 2x comparable boats. It's really hard to find a reason to justify that premium.

I don't think it's that simple. I think that in general most people are unable to effectively do cost/risk/benefit analyses. E.g. people frequently underestimate risk about things that they are familiar with (driving a car, fire etc) and overestimate risk for things that are unfamiliar or less...
