SE Florida is a 2 story home w/ no front door. When you enter / leave you have to go through a 2nd story window, no rope or stairs. When you point that out you're an idiot / p*ssy. So ferociously unintelligent they are prideful of their ignorance & conflate self inflicted suffering with being tough.

The new (to me) 2GM20 has passed the compression test! Injectors and injector pump need to be rebuilt, and my neighbors @sv_smokeshow are going to let me pick off their scrapped motor that drowned. ETA July 4th for installation!

Well I've been doing Marine electrical work for about six weeks now, and my 1st solo project is designing a 70 kWa power system for a brand new 40' commercial pontoon boat.
Holy sh*t. Frying pan, meet fire.

Today, after 7 years, I felt pride being a Mimian for the 1st time defending the women at the #Publix deli against a racist customer's verbal assault. If you don't want to be in Spanish speaking America, then fuck off & don't poison us with your narrow minded bigoted bullshit. #bienvenidaamiamiperra

Well Miami no longer has a low income dental clinic. The single dentist they had left (a very nice Colombian lady), and I quote "I don't know if we're getting another one". That's the Miami government summed up.

Two kinds of sailors/captains/Sea people: When a storm is rolling in, those who are trying to get to shore & off the boat, and those trying to get from the shore & back on the boat.

Let me describe living with cormorants on a sailboat.
When they land, they shit.
When they breath, they shit.
When they think about breathing, they shit.
When they think about shitting, they shit.
When they are shitting, G*d damnit they are shitting shitting.
Then you get soap and a bucket .. again
