Another Yamaha added to our family today. Our 4th grader starts recorder lessons in music this month. She was excited that it's a Yamaha.

Not a Yamaha. . . . But I feel your pain.View attachment 47163
Just wait till you price a Yamaha flute! You can get Perfect Pass for almost as much!!
I'll bet they can answer these questions over on the other site. They sure don't have any answers on the boat questions.

Him-a-Cain Matthew sunset. Low level clouds racing South to wrap in around the storm. Non event here on the Gulf coast. Stay safe east coast Floridians.

Water warmer than air common this time of year in New England. Pics taken a 1/2 hour apart this AM. Also a bit of a drought in the north east this summer so I've had to move my lift several times. Can't go any further and still get in boat from dock. image.jpegimage.jpeg

I've got the feeling for some retail therapy. Here are two ads I responded to earlier today and may be picking up the ex tomorrow. For anyone interested, here is a link to a sight which reviews the history or Seadoo PWCs.

1004161208.jpg As my number of boating days this year dwindle, it is time for me to focus on the sugarbush. Adding 4000 taps right now on our way to 10,000. This is how i use my tow rig when not towing. Making up the drop lines, that connect the spouts to each tree. Wow outa coffee be right back.1008161002.jpg 1008161001.jpg

@ Julian, it was good but definately not a thriller, more like Titantic since I knew how it ended. Great special effects and well casted.

I knew a leather neck once upon a time and would gladly take a job on a rig if I could today. One month on and one month off making over 6 digits annually even 20 years ago.

Ok...
I googled sugarbush and just got some ski resort.
Please do tell me about it as my father in law taps all the maple trees he can for syrup so it would be interesting.

Had a chance to spend 20 minutes in a 360 degree full size ship simulator. Nothing moved except the image but you felt as if you were on the ship pounding the waves. These are training simulators for surface support boats, tug boats etc.they had similar simulators that you could use for larger vessels like tankers and the like. Since it's all in software, you can add new ships like Panamax and New Panamax. Very useful for pilots to learn to handle these ships in a controlled environment.

@Speedling Yes Google Sugarbush and you probably will get the big resort an hour south of me. It is also a term sugarmakers call their woods that are predominately maple trees. We install plastic tubing to each tree, tap the tree and then put it under 29" of vacuum, sucking sap from the trees and with the aid of gravity it flows to a storage tank. A lot of people collect and sell the sap to others that boil it into syrup. Currently I sell the sap and will not boil until my woods are completely set up between 10k-15k taps. As I would only like to buy a sugaring rig that is big enough for the entire bush and not stage into it as taps are added. There is $ to be made in this field of agriculture.

Under vacuum too? Man, we have been doing it all wrong!

@Speedling Ya a lot of vacuum...no one around here uses buckets. There is no wrong way...just more efficient ways.
