Pretty well describes many of the cruising sailors I've known....

Why only one axle assy? Doesn't the other one have just as many miles on it?

Having gotten the shifter of The Brick fixed, it's time for the next project! Last time I took that rifle shooting, I experienced a couple of FTFs and FTEs (Failure To Fire and Failure To Eject, for those who don't speak gun). Can't have that--my rifles normally run like Swiss watches. Both...

I have a bucket organizer for plumbing and one for carpentry hand tools. My go-bag in the rig has most every tool I need for roadside repairs on both my rigs. My electrical tools are in a belt. Otherwise, no, I don't organize by job--just fill a bucket with the tools I think I'll need for any...

Now that I have it figured out, I can probably do it in ten minutes, including laying out and putting away tools. The 23mm block plus the quarter and the camlock ******** the vise-grips are the ticket! Of course, next time I need to do this, I'll have completely forgotten....

Hey! My BXGHRRDF lights perform just fine!

There used to be Sunday regattas of those on the casting pool of Westmoreland Park in Portland, OR. Always fun to watch. Skipperless, uncrewed boat racing--what could possibly go wrong?

Well, it never cooled off enough yesterday afternoon to feel like crawling under a rig--not to mention, the young ladies out front needed supervision and the shade, breeze and beer were pleasantly cool. Got back on it this AM. The shifter box under the shifter lever, from the rear: I'm...

Approach a mashed fingernail with a red-hot nail or paper clip and tell me which is worse. Dremel and burr is pretty peaceful and calm by comparison. PS: Fingernails don't melt like plastic--they burn. Heat on a mashed fingernail? Nope. Just nope.

Dremel with a ball-tip burr. Hundreds of mashed nails relieved that way. When the blood squirts out and the pressure is off, the relief is almost orgasmic.

Gave up on getting anything more done on the Brick today--nigh onto six PM and still in the mid-90s. I'll do it in the morning.

If'n it don't kill ya, it'll make ya hurt... or somethin' along those lines.

There's vagueness and then there's wrong. This is vaguely wrong. Wrongly vague? Anyhow, not how it's supposed to be. Tried working out there. 95F, full sun and no air movement. Got some interior trim back where it belongs and then just noped out until the shade hits. At least it's a dry heat...

Do you use the wheels for steel tubing or just the regular ones meant for copper? Never tried cutting sanitary SS with my Rigids--but it would make a very square cut.

Plastic (body) tubing cutters for plastic tubing. Used daily.

I hope you kicked back, put your feet up and enjoyed a fine beverage after that effort! I'm waiting for the sun to go behind the warehouse for the afternoon so I can crawl under the Brick and fiddle with the damned shifter linkage again. Having problems getting into first and third and fourth...

I hope they work as well for you as they have for me! After painting the rockers on both sides of The Brick, mine's still working fine. Not only does it take a LOT of strain off my fingers, it keeps my fingers paint-free without having to wear gloves. It takes a bit of practice to get the feel...

Your "very dubious looking flashlight" would definitely have come home with me--a very dubious looking character.

Sales all over town today. Nothing I want or need--mostly soft stuff. Soft stuff I need would be tropical print shirts with front pockets--none of those, either.

One who cuts plastic tubing?
