Jay, glad you are also getting outside. Me and some friends gave our wives a break yesterday and did some bass fishing on Dwhorshak Reservoir. It has boat launches and campgrounds operated by Corp of Engineers and State Parks. The camp grounds are still closed but tentative plans to open up May...

Enjoyed your post Peter. Attached is an interesting article that I believe summarizes our situation in the US. Makes one wonder if we have turned into a bunch of sheep. I spent over 40 years in a fairly high risk occupation so it really struck a chord with me. I’m planning to live life...

Enjoy the sky for now. It will soon be obscured by smoke in a naturally functioning wildfire dependent ecosystem.

Thank you Will and Steady Eddy for sharing your perspectives. Bob, thank you also for your experienced judgment on the medical front. Very refreshing after listening to politicians and others running around with their hair on fire. Ken

A VERY thought provoking read! Copied from a friend. I am just sharing this post to see people’s thoughts and opinions. I was reading some posts for and against reopening the country. One was talking about being selfish and it got me to thinking. There are those wanting to reopen yet they’re...

Not arguing with anyone. Just offering other perspectives. If we’ are going to destroy the economy and our way of life, we should question everything. Here is another perspective I’ll share for the sake of discussion. “Thoughts from an old veterinarian: Wanna stay healthy? It’s a sunny warm...

Another perspective concerning stay at home. https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/04/ ... omic-ruin/

Thanks Jay for your encouragement. Idaho is now under a shelter in place order as of yesterday. Basically all this means is use some common sense. It does not mean stay in your home and wait for the world to end by destroying our economy. We spent a beautiful day hiking the White Bird Battle...

Well said Harvey. Thanks

Was enjoying the original theme of this discussion but rather boring now that it somehow turned political. We are hunkering down not too much different than normal life. Even the county orders to shelter in place do not effect our normal routine too much. We do plan to get out on some low...

Some encouragement from our financial advisor: As I always try to find the silver-lining to life's challenges, over the next few weeks we will all have the opportunity to connect more with our family. A client told me recently that, because she is working more from home, she is spending more...

Harvey, I agree on the Alaska series. The one problem I have with it though is the motor mount tubing rusts readily and has stained the gel coat on the roof. Thinking about having a stainless or aluminum mount fabricated.

I was forced to buy radar by my understanding wife. We got caught in the fog and glimpsed a passing oil tanker passing as the fog briefly lifted. Recall something to the effect of “We are not ever doing that again!”

Always easy to spend other’s money, but I would jump on it. It doesn’t sound likely that you would need to repower, but even if so probably worth it. Your repower estimate might be a bit low. My best recent search for a new Honda 90 is about $11,000 installed. All of the other deficiencies you...

Sheesh, when I started this topic I was only looking for some more boating videos to help get through the winter months. Now I have to figure out how to get the boat to Mexico next winter🙂

Has anyone tried one of these instead of an ice chest. Fairly expensive but could solve the problem of ice on extended cruises. We can get about a week with our Yeti but would be nice not to have to restock with ice. Any of you electrical engineers in the group that could weigh in on the...

Bob, that’s mostly what we enjoy about the “RAN Sailing” folks. They are very down to earth and seeing the world on a budget. Lots of do it yourself projects. Would like to have seen your series and story🙂
