Good Old Boat magazine listed a ginger cookie recipe in the Sept/Oct 2011 issue. Ginger is one of the tips for combating sea-sickness. Ginger anything – ginger ale, ginger snaps, ginger cookies, etc… I figured that I ought to give it a try. They turned out great! Now I need something to offset the pain… [Read More]

Again, Great Job Team USA!
Team USA played the Russian team to a 13-6 victory in pool play at the 2011 Rugby World Cup!! I did not get to watch the game… bummer. Sounds like it was a pretty wet and difficult game. I am excited – excellent work fella’s!
Water Filtration
I made my own water filtration system that I use when filling my holding tanks. I take the approach that, no matter where it is from, the water is dangerous due to flukes, cysts, parasites, bacteria, and so forth. Many of the health problems in third-world countries are due to contaminated water. My “system” is pretty… [Read More]
The News

What is an interface? In basic… [Read More]
Electrical System 101
There are a lot of electrical system questions on the various forums and messages boards. I certainly do not have any new information but I thought perhaps stating what I know might help some folks. I’ve certainly listened to two people say the same thing and only understood one them. Let’s limit our discussion to… [Read More]
Tackle The Thing
TACKLE THE THING Somebody said that it couldn’t be done, But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he tried. So he buckled right in with a trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to… [Read More]
Labor Day
Another Labor Day…. I sure appreciate the day off. I don’t exactly celebrate the origin of this holiday but who am I to complain. The start of the NFL and NCAA football seasons is a good thing if for no other reason than to stare at the TV. I always hate to see summer come to… [Read More]
