Whale breath, a medieval holidaze primer, and in the “a bad time to be in the tourism business” department… The plan for today is to sort out the new side mount outboard bracket project, as I’m pretty much in the “just need to drill some holes and put the thing together stage”. Which is no …
A science mission of note, some seasonal situational awareness, and in the “TACO” department… Lots going on today so here’s a great article over at Epoxyworks (a great resource) by Eric Sponberg that you’ll enjoy. Hopefully more tomorrow.
Something about departures, today’s word is e-m-p-a-t-h-y, and in the “current zombie apocalypse” department… Lots to do today so here’s a link to a great Bolger designed instant take on a Boston Whaler. A lot of boat for two sheets of plywood.
