    What boat would you move up to?

    Another nice thing about the Nordic Tugs is that most can be pushed up to 15 knots. Mostly used for rarer safety runs as the fuel consumption goes up mightily.

    Forest Fire Smoke

    It is early. Order a MERV 16 filter and box fan. It can keep your house safe during smoke alerts.

    What's Seattle really like these days?

    Seattle home prices just keep ratcheting up. Of course no one want to move there or live there. :roll: The city does have problems, and just about all the liberals/progressives I know are puzzled how the wackos on a wacko left keep getting elected. There is a recall for the worst one on City...

    vaccination

    Res schools - the regimented, get perfect attendance, sit in classes in a row may, and hopefully so, die the death of covid. Some sort of hybrid, as they are not talking about office work, will arise. A Republican state legislator has suggested a two month summer term. That could mean 4 terms a...

    vaccination

    I keep the same information on a word processor document and give it to the office before I see the doctor. the second page is information specific things for whatever person I am visiting - medical, surgical, dental. I kind of evaluate medical people by whether they read them or not. It all...

    High speed internet

    Here in the Pacific NW Verizon has the best coverage, it used to be ATT. T-Mobile is in the fight for best but not there yet. Our condo has metal coated high tech windows. ATT cannot get through them, T-Mobile does OK, Verizon is the best. So the message is, it depends. It might be good to...

    winter reading

    About $2.75 for first pound and .28 per for the next pounds. As a comparison, I mailed off all of my theology books to a 'pass along' site connected to our denomination and it was upwards of $25 for a 30 pound box. We mailed some of my MIL's papers and writings off to a brother and it was...

    winter reading

    River-Horse is sent off to another reader. By the way, guessing at the economics of it all, paying for postage both ways is close to ordering a used book on Amazon. Sending a book off to the next reader may cost that reader about half as much. Lesson, book sharing and paying for postage one...

    winter reading

    I just finished River-Horse, the C-Dory book up the Hudson, west on the Erie canal and lake, down a tributary and the Ohio, up the Mississippi and Missouri, down the Salmon, Snake, and Columbia. Plus a few other passages and portages. A good and fun read. Send me about $3.50 in stamps and I will...

    vaccination

    I get my 2nd today, VA Silverdale, and wife on Sunday Kaiser also Silverdale. We are planning a road trip one week after the second shots, but will stay only in motels we can do our own cooking (or in urban areas fast food spots OK)

    SO WHAT DID YOU DO WITH OR ON YOUR C-DORY TODAY??

    I didn't go down to the boat and check it, but it looks OK from the patio. No one is plowing streets, shoveling sidewalks. The piers are apt to be covered with icy snow, don't want to fall in the drink. We did a sort walk through what was once the center of Bremerton. Deserted. Not like it...

    vaccination

    Here is Washington it is still difficult to get an appt if you are not computer literate and also a little lucky. But better than 2 weeks ago. I do wonder why you cannot simply call your primary care person clinic and have them do the scheduling. Federal funds could even be made available for...

    Dive Boat Fire

    I suspect most electricians could advise on how to safely charge 20-40 devices. They may say don't do it on a small boat where many people are sleeping. Devices, chargers, and outlets for that many people are inherently dangerous, perhaps possibly is a better word. I prefer dangerous. I venture...

    vaccination

    The first several days scheduling and finding appointments mid January was chaos. At the recommendation of both Trump and Biden the age was reduced from 75 to 70 to 65 for group priority 1B(?, may differ by state). This really overwhelmed most medical groups, their web sites, and voice mail...

    vaccination

    I got my first, via VA, Wednesday. They were well organized, no hassle. Even gave me a black mask. I think I could detect a little soreness in the arm a day later, but it was very minimal.

    I think we will have our vaccines by then, and if so interested.
