The TV special i saw alluded to an open hatch that let water in. It was enough, they alluded to the ship being bridged up on 2 waves and the weight deep in the hull snapped it in two.

The song got a lot of air play, although it was long. I still get shivers when I hear it play.

I believe it was a hatch cover that came loose somehow. There was a special on it, forget if it was Discovery or Nat Geo. A buddy of mine was in the Great Lakes US Coast Guard training program at the time. His ship answered the distress call. They got out to the area... nothing. He said it was the heaviest and roughest water he had ever been out on.

More Bird Buddy visitors. The blue Jay was stunning. 1fe517f1-11da-44ed-a29c-af424c66d453.mp4 59e219d6-7088-4c0e-9423-7f90472eb8c6.mp4 f8f99f51-518d-4829-9075-89db4ab0b730.mp4

Someone in my club mentioned a SAE CD ROM that he got somewhere. Apparently it has every article that was in any magazine including the contest cars from day 1. Supposedly it is searchable.

I'm not like that. I try to buy local before I go online. Locally you get free shipping and no waiting. In later years I've seen dwindling after market parts in hobby shops. I pick up most of mine at big shows and online. One shop does offer to order me anything I may want, but that eats up 5 days and is a 25 mile hike each way.

I go smaller for radiator hoses, like .060" or .050" insulated wire. I use .093" aluminum tubing at the engine and radiator and these sizes slip right in.

Ivan came out of his daytime hiding spot for a while.

I hope to get something done by then. I'm also a kit vendor.

They are devious!

I have a wall charger made by NYS LIFE that I got at the supermarket. It came with a USB C cable and has a port for a 2nd cable. I use both ports at once at times. It charges faster than anything else I have used.

62 F at 6 am, 82% humidity and cloudy. The pool is around 68... too cold to enjoy. I have to think about closing it sooner than later.

Thanks for the post. We have some new people pitching in for the show this year. But sleep well knowing that everything is covered!

My girlfriend's cats will be turning 2 on September 21st. The first 3 are Bleu, she's on the skittish side. The rest are Brie, a very friendly little cat.

52 F, lower humidity. I guess we got at least 1.5" of rain. It did rain most of Sunday.

Attempting to grow some broccoli and cabbage before it gets too cold.

Well.. I came across a mummified squirrel while I was cleaning out a corner of my garage on Saturday. It must have ventured in when the door was open and got stranded. I never smelled anything however.

Mr. Ivan in one of his safe spaces, the top of the basement steps. He doesn't like thunder or rain.

60 F, RH is 95% and it has been raining since 5 PM yesterday. Heavy at times with thunder off and on.

I buy a lot on eBay and set a filter for US sales only. I will buy from trusted Canadian vendors.

I am hard to scam since I'm "thrifty" by nature. I also have severe PTSD about email from my working days. I can go weeks without even glancing at it.

73 F, 99% humidity and looks like rain. I got some gardening done. Planted cabbage and broccoli seeds. The pool is or was up to 76 yesterday.

I had a problem with having to open the holes on the Ron Coon pieces. I lost a few even being careful. Jayes Model Car Garage has some that take a wire very easily.

I get a ton of calls from "health care providers" regarding "free" back braces and so on. My Medicare info must have been hacked into or sold. I generally answer in Spanish and the line goes <CLICK>, with a 99% accuracy.

SOSDD here on the Island. 56 F and less humid, rain predicted for tonight. Me & the girlfriend are going to have breakfast on the beach around 10. It will be warmer by then. I picked up some seeds yesterday, lettuce, broccoli and cilantro. I have to till one of my smaller plots either later or tomorrow.
