Are you building that? What is it going to cross?
Going to a park to cross a ditch. It’s a kit that we had to put together. Should have the decking stained Monday, screwed down Tuesday & ready to place it whenever the footers are poured & cured.

We sailed over to Schuyler Island NY today. This was us heading back to the hills of Vermont. Another beautiful day on the Lake.

I see the peaks for Stowe, Smugglers Notch, Bolton Valley, Mad River Glen and Sugarbush North & South ski resorts along the spine of the Green Mountains, soon to be white.

Now I just need an M20-1.5 split die thread chaser. And the address of the Yamaha ape who installed this filter
McMaster carries them.

What is the backstory on that madness? Did they really put it on that tight? Damn.

Looks great except for that music. More than 90 seconds of that makes my post Covid anxiety start to scream!!!

Finally added more led Edison bulb string lights to return to the Deck after much pestering from Jeannine. Wanted to cheer her up anyway. Now there is over 250 feet of them

I like Bluegrass. What, does banjo and fiddle music make you want to "squeel like a pig?" You just missed the Samba music and disco will get you a ride on the lifesling. Only one canoe was spotted during the outing and by that time we were listening to Buffet. No worries, Lol.

Reliving the 80’s. Met my son in Chicago for some heavy metal.

How did Dave Mustaine sound? I know he was/is battling cancer. I am taking my sons to see Metallica in Nov, I hope it doesn't get canceled. I was a big thrash metal fan back in the day.

They put it on so tight that the filter threads collapsed at the bottom. A new filter stud is $10, so might as well go that route if I can’t clean the threads

He sounded pretty decent. Sometimes he sounded like he was struggling, but actually kind of surprised me at how well he was able to still sing. The show was Hatebreed, Trivium, Lamb of God, and Megadeth. Metallica should be awesome. Hope you get to go. Last night we went to see Willie Nelson.

I was hunting for a parking spot the other day when I came across what I thought was an open space. I was wrong it was occupied just not by a car. 7DD122CE-9E0C-4C3B-8A7A-A3BCE504A69D.jpeg

Trying something different for hanging fenders. Nylon strapping with plastic quick clips. Easy to hang, adjust to different situations and remove. So far so good with launching today. We’ll see how they work the rest of the season.

Well after 2 weekends with the nylon straps and quick-clips I think that we're going to keep using them. They seem to be working out well for quick placement and retrieval. It's easy enough that both the kids are helping now and there are no worries of losing a fender due not being tied off properly.
