Re-insulating an attic crawlspace - getting all that chopped paper from the '50s back where it's supposed to be. Trade you for snow work any day. <g>

Good vid. Have to keep an eye on that guy.

Whole lot of freeboard and looks like a really big back-side on it. Know what it was designed for?

Interesting comments. It sounds like Tom is from the "just fits" school of design. <g> It's been 12 years or so since I've seen anything from/about Tom. Glad to see he's still out there doing boats. He used to post regularly on some of the boating forums and (I think) on rec.boats - I don'...

Dry & middling cold here in Chicago. Good holiday pause from the 20 page to-do list. No disasters in sight, folks all talking civilly, maybe some carol singing tonight.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Back to rewiring and insulating houses, this time my sister's top floor. 'Fraid that'll take me into the new year.

Hi Rudy Hope all is well. Cleaning house can be some rocky (as you noticed) but seems like a good thing to do and to paraphrase Dennis "There is none righteous, no not one!" That said maybe you figured out that people can get pissed and mean it, that stuff we do does have consequences, for...

Lucky, lucky... <g>

Golly, Lois. It sounds like you're getting no joy on that boat. Might want to just stand back until the guy(s) responsible step up and assume their duties... or it just sinks (and, notably, not on your nickle). Some things are just not meant and the boat may be one of them; the karma just doesn't so...

I seem to remember asking this a long time ago. I think the system runs a postman job at intervals to send your mail, but I'm not sure. I just looked at my mail page but didn't see anything obviously helpful. Maybe just check back in a couple hours and take a look...

Hi Lois I've seen a bit of pox. But first you'll need to pressure wash the bottom first thing it comes out. They should have a machine at the haul out, should do it as part of the deal. After that there will be a lot of scraping. A carbide pull scraper with as wide a blade as you can find may be the...

Shucks, Lois.

Screaming skippers are an integral part of any real sailing experience! <g> And sometimes screaming crew, too... Just depends on if it's _friendly_ screaming.

> other things away from computer... Huh. One of those guys w/a life, eh? <g> I just get cantakerous when I find I can get parts for a 1982 Nissan Maxima diesel car easier than I can find mobo/s with IDE headers and PCI slots... now I get to buy sata/ide adapters for $10-$30 ea for 4 or 5 drives eac...

> Rhino What are you modeling? I've glanced at Rhino over the years, but it's such a high power app that I never found a project that warranted the big time to learn a whole new skill set. A little po-dunk (well, not at the time; actually a pretty nice one) 2D CAD program has done all my jobs since ...

How does OpenMedia handle replacing a disk? Can you just replace the hardware and start it up and it'll get back online and rebuild automatically in the background? Hmm... Does it have any options for hot-plugging a disk? (I looked at their site but decided I it looked like a tall step and I was too...
