It does not look like much, but it is very important in my morning routine. The donuts…not so much. Using the Origo alcohol stove to make hot water for the coffee press.

Brings it to a boil quickly.

Coffee first, then checking the tracking of the boat since I set anchor.

The app did alert me last evening when I was testing the parameters. You can see us drift over the boundary on the lower track. I expanded the limit by 15’. Then the wind shifted to the South overnight.

@zipper Would an electrical kettle work well instead, or are you better off using the alcohol stove?

A 12v would work. I have no inverter. The stove is not pressurized and takes a few minutes to boil a few cups of coffee water. We have a Origo 6000

From what i have read this is happening in a lot of locations do to the increase in shop listing. I will leave it at that other than to say the increase in crime and lack of accountability has sent me back at my age to the pistol range and will soon take the class for CC. I am also installing more cameras around my home. If i could get my hands on a few claymores I would place them strategically however that might just be going a little overboard and besides I would not wan folks to think i was paranoid ?

Got the boat out back together Saturday night. Retrofitted the dog house hinges. Next time you are in your boat, notice all the hinges are through bolted from the top down, except the engine hatch is from the bottom up.
Old style that pulled out:

Thru drilled retrofit:

first impression, unless you know it’s not factory, I couldn’t tell.

The new 12v oil pump finally arrived. (Old one crapped out) Now it’s time to change the oil in the boat.

Good apple year for this tree.

The grass is green and the sky is blue. Time for a shake down cruise.

The sky sure was blue yesterday. 95 degrees outside, 60 degree water

As George from Seinfeld would say... "The water was cold!"

Dock is scraped, repaired, re-stained, splashed, and looks like it will pass inspection by the crew. Lifts should go in by this weekend, and the boats will follow a few minutes after that...

WTF? Good thing we did not plant the garden yet.

At a stop light on my way into work today. The school security officer was saluting the American Flag as safety patrol raised it! This was photo worthy in my opinion.

I KNOW! We're looking at a high of 50 today, and 33 tonight. But then it looks way better.

Gettysburg trip. Looking out over the field of Picket’s charge. It’s surreal to think how many 10’s of thousands died here in a few days.

The cyclorama of the battlefield is crazy to see. It’s the largest cyclorama in the US. You can’t express its size in a picture.

 

[BigN8]

There are over 1350 monuments around Gettysburg. This is the first monument ever erected and is in the cemetery.

This is a good reminder to think twice before going “cheap”. I think a read the following applicable statement here first. Buy once, cry once.

Window tint i plan to install on the boat soon.

A calm, cold morning down at the Lake.





We did have a pretty good frost last night.
