Dr Robert Ballard gave a riveting 1-hour talk tonight in Frederick MD. At age 82, this discoverer of geothermal ocean vents as well as the wreck of the Titanic and dozens of other deep ocean artifacts, is still going strong after 60 years of oceanography. Well worth the foggy drive.

Sauerkraut is healthy and easy to make at home. Only 3 ingredients: cabbage, carrots, salt. Chop, chop, chop! Ferment for a week and you’re done!
You can exclude the carrots or add apples or other things. First photo is from a previous batch. The new batch is 10 pounds of vegetables!

I had to service the Webasto heater on my boat.
Replaced the burner. See descriptions in photos.
She’s burning smoothly now. This simple German-made unit is capable of up to 30,000 BTU!
