If your friend or guest does not sue, and most probably won't, that does not stop any insurance company they have from suing. (medical, life, disability) One of my kids was a guest at at a mountain cabin and another guest fell on the steps. Her insurance company sued the owners.

Misdirections to the Getty museum, so long wrong that there was a sign on the road saying it did not go to the Getty. Putting us on a 40 mile unpaved road in Death Valley (and other places). Tried to find a VA hospital with a variety of labels - none worked. Fortunately the semi-smart phone...

Kids just got into boating, but their boat doesn't have radar. One of them saw a $600 unit that works with a tablet. It is not very fancy, but mostly radar is to avoid hitting or being hit by something in the fog. As I recall it doesn't have much in the way of adjustments. If anyone is...

What's with Garmin? Ten years ago friend and I found them largely unreliable for car trips. When I first got my boat (came with Lawrence) people on line here were very happy with Garmin.

Two boating days in a row - yesterday with friends in their Bayliner over to Blake Island - thought it was a beautiful weather day, but a little windy. Docked back in our marina just a little after sunset. Today kids boated over, and worked my boat over and it is now gleaming clean. Then we...

With some help from my electrician friend. The two slides are keyed, and how I managed to get it off track without breaking a slider is puzzling. Anyway here are the instructions, a second person is helpful, but not essential. The deck has two keyed sliders, and the seat has two upper sliders...

alert ahead, totally unreliable analogy: This younger generation just does not know how to sacrifice. My parents generation WWII, mine Vietnam, younger folks those useful forays into the Middle East. We now are asked to bear the unbearable and wear masks, limit our contacts and restaurants (as...

Kid wants to do a major ski trip this winter in Canada. He asked if the border is likely to open by March. My reading: Until the US disease rate gets close to that of Canada the border will remain closed. I do not see that happening before vaccines. Vaccines will not likely be widely...

Bremerton. Yes

I understand a main argument is the evaporation from two lakes is greater than one. And that there likely will not be enough water to ever again fill both lakes.

NTSB completes its investigation. Not a lot new here, but the 50 page report may be of interest to some. The Navy reports did not discuss what the freighter could have done, but the NTSB does. https://ntsb.gov/investigations/Acciden ... r2002.aspx click on: mar-20-02

Just a bump, with hopes someone has the answers to this.

This is my limited understanding, wait for (un)confirmation from more knowledgeable members. Transom is cored with (marine) plywood bottom of hull is cored with balsam to somewhere in mid-cabin.

As I was reversing the front seat (from facing the removable table to facing front) I must have got it off track. Nothing appeared broken, but I have not been able to figure out the geometry to get it back on track and in the flanges. It almost looks like I have to disassemble some stops, but...

One good thing about filling up at marinas here on the Puget Sound is that just about all of them have alcohol free gasoline.

Lumpsucker was about four slips down from us. I got to meet her short-term owner once.

There is another dynamic which describes a lot of political lies. It hooks into tribalism, dominance, and power. A philosopher wrote a book on this. The disconcerting title is On Bullshit https://www.amazon.com/Bullshit-Harry-G ... 0691122946

I am happy that adequate testing is available to all of the White House people. They need to be kept safe. But I do want to know how many tests they are doing a day, and an approximation of tests per person. That will give us an idea of how much testing needs to be done. The country is still...

Back in my late teen years I was an Eisenhower Republican (still get teased about it), but I still like Ike. So were he to see the current occupant of that house what would he be saying? I understand he could occasionally be a little profane.

An update on Kitsap County and its several naval installations and many people working all of the time. We have had only two deaths, 150 or so cases, and only one diagnosed so far this month. Everyone continues to be careful and respectful of others. Acute phase is now in the past, and we are...
