    Made me laugh and think about when I see (usually) architectural and (occasionally) engineering drawings with dimensions to the millimeter. Hell, when it comes to site services if the contractor gets it to plus or minus 6" (that's +/-152.4mm! :p) I'm ecstatic!

    I'm also ambivalent on the date format - use both and sometimes screw myself up when I see 8/10/23. Did I mean August 10th or October 8th! @drewkaree one mm is about 1/32nd of an inch (1.25/32). I have difficulty reading 16ths some times! Can't imagine reading 64ths on a tape, let alone tenths...

    What are you watching on TV? Favorite Shows? <name the service used>

    "Unforgotten" is back on PBS - season 5. Brilliant British police series! Watched all 5 episodes in a weekend (ok, most of them in one evening, staying up until almost 2).

    Even if you ignore the bottom of the S from Cannes, what the hell is that supposed to be? Makes me think of my dad and an acquaintance that made a fortune in cosmetics. Dad would always shake his head "how the hell can he make so much money selling colored powder NO ONE really needs". And I...

    Rate your 2023 boating season

    Probably the worst one since we got the boat back in 2015... Wife and SIL were able to finally persuade in-laws (102 and 97!!!) to finally move into a retirement home in June and that started a snowball effect of trips on weekends. And then it seemed like when we had a weekend free it was...

    Two Anchors

    I came across this video back in August and have been using it ever since, all the while kicking myself for not knowing about this before! https://boattest.com/article/how-tie-anchor-bridle-0 Strongly recommend you watch it - takes 30 seconds, much cheaper than a second anchor. It's taken some...

    Air Travel:

    Haha! I've been sent to secondary a few times but only once did I really get the special treatment. Dog took special interest in my duffle bag and agent wasn't buying any of my denials. They even took apart the pens I had in my laptop case. It wasn't until after that I put it together: got a...

    Air Travel:

    Guessing LGA doesn't do "enough" international? JFK would surely have it though. If it's not available on entry at LGA it's probably worth still applying for! Aside: my mom is Canadian and Italian. Years ago, she's flying to visit us in the US on her return from Italy so she uses her Italian...

    Air Travel:

    I'll throw my two cents here: 1) if you fly anywhere international, GET Global Entry! Last I checked, on top of the customs bonuses, it also got you TSA Pre, for the same price. Returning from Canada to Dulles, the line through passport control was about 500-600 people (think about it, all that...

    Pre-2016 horn replacement - banish the duck!

    Just a jigsaw running slowly. I put some tape over it first. (My jigsaw died half way through so I switched to a (hand) hole saw and a rasp to square it off. And the recommendation when drilling the screw holes is to make them the same size as the screw (not too tight), running the drill in...

    One picture of your last outing.

    FINALLY! Got the boat out of storage this week. Every year we talk about how this year we're going to get the boat in the water in early spring and every year something comes up. I haven't checked my records but pretty sure this year is the latest ever (only one that may come close was when I...

    Was shopping for eggs at a local store and came across these... Is this the farm equivalent of gender fluidity - species fluidity???
