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 [flag] 😀

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:

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.

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. IMG_4542.jpegIMG_4541.jpeg

A calm, cold morning down at the Lake.
