I live in a rural area which means I have a septic system. My home is near a river which means the water level is high. This requires an elevated leach field (or drain field, seepage bed, or soil absorption field) and a pump to lift the liquid waste up to the field from the… [Read More]

Houston to Albuquerque
Lots MORE driving yesterday. Nearly 2000 miles in two days. I think I’ve said it before but I LOVE THE WEST!! The mountains are so fabulous!! I also love the 80mph speed limit in southwest Texas. SWEET! These photos are of San Antonio, TX, El Paso, TX, and a gob of mountains and terrain in… [Read More]

Toe Rail Continued
I mentioned my toe rail here a couple days ago and then posted a question on the SailNet forums. The question was: Should the area between the toe rail and hull be sealed or treated in any way? I asked as the previous owner of my boat had sealed this will clear silicone. Silicone is… [Read More]
