Sailor rebooting life after 9 years at sea. Full timing in an RV instead of a sailboat is...a change, but still a shiftless drifter.

Fiction & freelance writer. Liberal atheist loudmouth. He/Him.

Also into hiking and learning backpacking.

WHO DEY!
We will give them a finger wagging like they've never seen before. Schumer may even...wait for it...purse his lips.

To reiterate - there will be no legitimate "vote" on ACA subsidies. It will NEVER, EVER happen with the GOP in power.

We have so much evidence of their bad faith. Are you suddenly ...not smart? Or are you answering to someone other than your constituents?

Someone posted up a nice picture of me at work the other day on Facebook. Sailing off of Castle Hill Light in Newport, RI.

Photo credit unknown, as someone sent it to me in a group I'm not in.

Loving the Alexandra from "Josie and the Pussycats" hair vibe. She needs a red ribbon, though.

Any day sailing with dolphins is amazing. Get out there if you can!

Not sure how to interpret this...

"Failed"

Collinsworth may be annoying AF as a game, but he was solid on the field.

And as a Bengals fan, I can tell you he's the absolute worst than you'll ever hear calling Bengals games. He tries so hard to not sound like a total homer that he gets obnoxious slobbering on the other teams.

Lifting the engine is a big trick.

Our boat had a removable cockpit sole. So we we replaced our generator in NZ we had them yank the engine for a look while they had the crane, and replace the mounts before it went back in.

And?

I guess we've got to keep watching...

About a week or two ago, I learned you can turn on REQUIRE ALT TEXT in your accessibility settings. So if you're like me and still don't habitually think about Alt-Text when you're excited to post something brilliant, Bluesky can help remind you.

No. I never remember intentionally doing "black Friday."

Though I DO remember accidently heading out in public to run an errand or two while forgetting it was Retail Carnage Day and noping the fuck out of Dodge as soon as I saw the mobs.

About 4.5 miles in a loop through the hills.

Our last boat. She was our home for nine years of full-time cruising and we had her for 16 years.
