A good reason to refrain from palm oil, an excellent resource, and in the “it’s the stupidity stupid” department… I saw an interesting article in the New York Times today. Their question is it possible for a couple to buy a boat and live on it for $375K. The mind boggles… Then again, boats have …
Another boycott, some FEMA news, and in the “current situational awareness” department… What I’d really like to do today is get out my fly rod and cast some flies in the general direction of some lunker tarpon. However, I find myself trying to bring some sanity to a simple water tank to the head’s sink …
A very good read, destroying education, and in the “American politicians take note” department… Here’s an excellent project that will both save you money and result in a user repairable system. Way better than B&G from where I sit.
A good read, something anger inducing, and a good reason why I’m not shopping at Amazon… OK, I’ll be the first person to admit that a watermaker on a sit-on-top kayak is dangerously close to insanity. That said, you have to admire the guy for doing what most consider an impossible task. Just watch… Yeah, …
A letter of note, just another maga guy, and in the “not dead yet” department… I keep waffling on how I’m going to do our dodger on the Islander. No matter what I come up with, nothing seems to make me happy. On the other hand, I’m in no hurry to build a new dodger …
Something about Amtrak, a very good point, and Elie Mystal saying the needful… This brought a smile… However, it did get me thinking about how it’s well past time to see some sort of ground swell against Elon Musk’s other business, Starlink. Sure, I see how a lot of cruisers feel that it’s very important …
Erasing history, some pithy thoughts on Tesla, and in the “know your leader” department… Everybody knows I’m not big on buying stuff. I do, however, have a want list. I’m pretty sure we all do, if only to replace stuff that’s lost or broken. In our case, the first thing on the want list is …
A needful read, not unsurprising but still depressing, and in the “Eggs, did somebody say eggs?) department… I’m currently having a lot of problems dealing with the current surfeit of insanity. Or, to be more precise, I just can’t believe what’s going on. Then again, the simple fact that the great unwashed hordes now consider …
The word for today is kakistocracy, a book you might want to check out, and in the “You have to admit he’s making a good point” department… Energy budgets are just like monetary ones and a lot of good advice can be found in David Copperfield. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen, nineteen and six, …
About that observatory in Hawaii, some Caribbean related news, and in the “war and rumors of war” department… Now that we have installed the new solar controllers that have a volts/amps readout, we discovered that our panels on the goalpost were under-performing by about 50%. Looking at the panels, it turns out that one of …
