Sailor. I believe in science and the constitution. Will cover politics and sailing I am, therefore I think. Diagonally parked in a parallel universe. Big fingers on smallish phone =Typos Have a bio. It's not hard. Sadly necessary: no DMs, no crypto, etc.

I am thankful for a gentle morning. A new interest in trying to learn to make rope fenders. Still struggling mightily, but it is early. Clearing out some of the leftovers in the fridge. Quick meals before heading out to trivia. [Did OK, but final qu. killed us.]

I am thankful the process for getting my wife a new car key is fairly simple. At 18 years old, the old key doesn't owe anything. That I could find a set of OEM floor mats for the Saab. Totally wore out the driver's side mat. Couldn't drive with it in place. 👇

I am thankful that the lightning mostly stayed away from school this afternoon. Needed time on the water this afternoon. That our very wet drive home was uneventful. No traffic anywhere, even at the I-95 merge. 👇

I am thankful that the wind filled in fairly quickly this morning after we started class. Did a little classroom work and then set sail. Good winds the rest of the day. Lovely dinner with our friends after the sail. Good people. 👇

I am thankful for a wonderful, lazy morning sitting on the boat enjoying our coffee and listening to the birds as the sun rose. That I could help a friend work on her boat. Timing is everything. We were just leaving the marina as we saw her pull in. Perfect. 👇
