Do you have isenglass/full vinyl windows to enclose the "cabin"? Looks amazing....we'll be up for a tour soon!


Looks like she has a future in making covers!!!!
Ya, thanks, that came out nice for a prototype. First dinghy/OB boat cover with a boat vent sewn in that she made. It has been turning heads at the marina. The dinghies, there is a dinghy tie-up dock, a dozen or so, always have water in them.

Sharpening the blades on the brush hog yesterday morning. Throwing sparks with the grinder. Mowing in the morning and putting the sails and the cameras on the boat in the afternoon. Just a day in the life of a "Farming Sailor".
It Is a wind thing…15kts in the morning, diminishing to <5 in the afternoon per the forecast.

I like checking on the boat first thing in the morning, I see we have a new neighbor off the starboard bow, they came in last night on camera.

I like checking on the boat and conditions at the marina in the morning.

In case you noticed...there is only one genoa sheet attached. It is temporary and will be replaced with the correct sheets next time out. ;)

What security camera system do you use on the boat?

There are better, more expensive systems out there. Right now we use Blink outdoor cameras. It is not optimal, but it works for our needs at this point. We can set sensitivity and record all notifications and view semi live, with a few second delay.

I love when @zipper posts farming stuff - always something new to me lol
Stay tuned...more to come as @Babin Farms has plenty of his own "farming stuff" and likely knows how/where/when to use each of these common farm tools. Both found around the barn at calving and lambing. One is not a favorite of the bull calves or ram lambs.

Worked as a laser operator on 12 green today at Southern Hills for the PGA Championship. The Rory, Tiger, Spieth group was insane! Then Daly bout ran me over from behind in his golf cart.

I used the elastic rings too. I felt sorry for the little guys. Bolus pill tool, doser gun in the barn.
If I don’t cut them I’ll double band them. Have had bands break in the past.
Always hoping for heifers.

This is cool. For context, my wife and I are moving so we are renting two Pods to store and transport our stuff in. The pods showed up today on a what I thought would was a funny looking flat bed and I thought it would unload the container dump truck style. Nope, not at all right.

When I say it’s cool, i mean, independent steering on the front two wheels, gear driven rear wheels, independent powered suspension at each corner, all controlled from a wire remote and is easily put on and taken off its transport vehicle. I left him a $20 as a tip, just for putting on an interesting show.

Getting ready for record breaking 90° temps. this weekend. Rained all day yesterday and in the 50's. I see the South wind blowing up the Lake this morning. The Hawaii State flag as our indicator.
