Yesterday was take the wife to the city day so didn't get much work done.
But after dinner I got a start. Engine is no longer attached to the bracket.
Now if I could only detach the Baystar hydraulic steering, yeah that would be awesome.
I was gonna start building the plywood mold for the hull extension today. I built this boat in 2018 so I had suppressed how much work it was just to attach trim tabs , bracket, steering and engine and now it all has to come of.
Not showing in this picture. I have a lumber beam on top of that "scaffold" and used a ratchet strap attached to the hoisting ring under the motor cover to lift it just enough to loosen the bolts.
But I got stuck on the Baystar. Big bolts wouldn't budge. Will just detach the hydraulic hose.
Then it's the trim tabs and the bracket and some...
Technically I didn't build the boat, but it was a boat build. I bought the boat in 2007, second hand from an old man who had the same name as me. The boat was then 33 years old and no where near mint condition.
So I just used it over midsummer weekend and then I took it and went to work on it.
I replaced the stern, made a new cabin, replaced the bow bench, sanded and repainted the whole boat. Attached stainless steel bracket, new engine and trim tabs.
The private fisherman look. I like that description. I am the captain of one, myself
I'm afraid there have been far too few bikini on my boat. I think it is the wrong modell
Fun facts though. As soon as there are waves and wind I can still go att full speed. While most modern boats go really slow, if they go at all. Most of them just in the harbor
Modern boats are too wide. I think it is some EU regulations or something
got some measurements done for hole drillin but i decided to wait til tomorrow cause lazy.
i should start tracking exactly how much i'm actually sleeping. i don't think it's exceeding 8 hours a night or it could be just slightly over that idk. hopefully less than 9
i mean, naps + night sleep combined should still be around 8 hrs. i took a 2 hour nap today. literally napped then got up and went back for more napping.

Yes the Florida situation is fucking horrifying but the exact thing I'm struggling with today is how they rolled this out - like it was a funny viral marketing campaign. And not in an inside joke sort of way. They did it in a way that made it seem like everyone is in on it. And you know something? They were kind of right.
MAGA fascists were immediately hashtagging Alligator Alcatraz, and selling hats and tshirts, pulling in Mexican food trucks to eat tacos and elotes in front of the death camp for Latinos, and sharing memes about it with each other.
Like ha ha ha isn't this funny everybody.
These sinister motherfucking sociopaths were all like "ha ha isn't this death camp funny". All together. All of them. Everywhere.
We never deserved America if this is what we are as a people. Burn the whole fucking thing down.
someone should remind them that their ancestors, who started a civil war over owning human beings, didn't see anything humorous when the rest of the country came down there to sort them the fuck out. Maybe they think civil war is funny, too? Lets see.

Trump used “remigration” again — MOTHER JONES: “Rooted in the debunked Great Replacement theory, favored by European far-right & White nationalist extremists it calls for mass expulsion of non-ethnically European immigrants regardless of citizenship.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
The State Department is reportedly creating an office for "remigration": a far-right policy that calls for what has been described as "soft-style ethnic cleansing."
I'll be honest, I hate these thing. It's an architectural concept that doesn't actually work in real life or else it requires someone with both gardening qualifications and abseiling qualifications to maintain it, which is to say it costs too much to keep it up. It looks great, but the logistics of maintenance render it stupid again.
@whuffo, yeah. I just think about what do you do with anything you trim? Let it fall several storeys to the ground? Take it down in the elevator? How do you get to it? Through the apartments? I don't see it as something you'd be able to keep under control. I don't see this as sustainable.
I've worked in buildings with plants - those roots and limbs can really tear things apart.
I prefer the notion of sustainable, livable cities and towns rather than focusing on individual buildings.
My own personal notion is that we ought to build like European towns of the pre-industrial era, town squares for people to gather, surrounded by low rise buildings (five or six floors max, with setbacks to avoid being oppressive.) With retail on the ground levels, light commercial on 2nd level, and residential on the higher levels. No cars except for delivery, emergency, and disabled access (parking areas under the square and buildings.). This would continue back away from the square for small number of "rings". These square-based townlets can be replicated and abutted together to form larger urban forms. The key is to push the automobile onto a few roads rather than having roads and cars as the dominant form. Public transit would also be a key.
No one expects each unit to do their own plumbing, but people see some plants and think that everyone has to be a gardener? Of course the building will hire someone to maintain this. They'll use the same infrastructure they use to wash the windows. Singapore has been doing it successfully for years.
Professionally, by education, I was a gardener. I did roof gardens, but those buildings' plants have to be maintained by specialists who can work at height, and I'm guessing it involves cordoning off the area below where they're working. People with the qualifications to do that work are not easy to find and they're expensive. Trees do not belong on high-rise apartment buildings.
As someone who has to maintain buildings, any growth anywhere on the building is a headache. Some microbes find a way to break down what should be sealants that are supposed to last 20 years...and I have a surprise roof leak that requires a lot of cleaning and resealing. I suspect the microbes can make proteins that leverage the UV light from the sun to help break the strong bonds quicker. Something like a roof replacement for a building is not cheap, about a million dollars and a lot of labor over many months...
We had residents letting their dogs shit in the roof gardens, or throwing their trash into the planted areas. Sometimes stuff just died for no reason or it would grow too thick and cut off light to one side of the roof garden. It really is just a headache. At ground-level, it's doable. On a building, not so much.
I left one apartment, because residents were violating the no-dogs rules...and their dogs would urinate in the elevators every morning. Untrained dogs in buildings aaaaaaaaaaaghgggghhgh
The architects who design these buildings are not thinking in terms of maintenance. One of our roof gardens you had to get everything in the wheelbarrow and take it up in the elevator, and anything you trimmed you had to either throw over the railing down to the trailer without hitting anyone, or you had to take it down in the elevator. Another one had steps, but the treads were all a meter and a half broad, so taking a wheelbarrow up that was impossible. We had to carry it down in tubs. Parking is also always a nightmare at these places, for some reason.
I'm doing other work now, but being a gardener taught me a lot about the more practical aspects of things.
Vero Beach, Fla. - Utah plastic surgeon Dr. Kirk Moore is facing thirty five years in federal prison for destroying thousands of vials of COVID-19 vaccine, giving his patients vaccine cards without taking the shots, and injecting saline into children whose parents wanted them to believe they got vaccinated without risking the deadly side effects.
Dr. Michael Kirk Moore Jr., 58, who operates his practice Plastic Surgery Institute of Utah, Inc. in Salt Lake County, Utah, begins his trial on Monday, July 7, 2025, at the Orrin G. Hatch U.S. Courthouse, located at 351 S. West Temple, Salt Lake City, Utah.

My understanding is that Mitt Romney, (who fortunately can afford it after the career of corporate raiding) has to spend some millions of dollars per year on security for himself and his family.
Not to protect himself from liberals on the other side, but from his own side, because he criticized Trump and voted against him.
This has been going on for several years now. Don't recall it in the news much.

the womb-like roundabout signifies a return to the earth mother; its ovoid shape reminds one of the womb, and it functions as a method for avoiding conflict.
compare this to the american 4-way intersection. drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians confront one another from all directions, and immediately find themselves entangled in conflict; the resolution of which can be brought about by respecting our great nation's laws, or else by sheer force.

Brits can sleep safely tonight, after the heroic work of the Metropolitan Police. The Reverend Sue Parfitt, 83, a retired priest, was arrested in Parliament Square for holding a sign which read:
“I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.”
Under British law, this now puts her in the same category as an ISIS or Al-Qaeda terrorist. The courts may impose a prison sentence of up to 14 years, to protect the public against the existential threat posed by this very dangerous woman.
is it bad that my first thought was "someone needs to create a new organisation called Action for Palestine and just do all the same shit Palestine Action was doing but as a different group"?

I think a lot about Emerson's quote, "the corruption of man is followed by the corruption of language" (Nature).
With this in mind, I ask that people not use "Alligator Alcatraz" to identify the concentration camp in Florida. Do not use the language of the fascists. It masks (like the ICE agents who wear them) the reality of what is happening. Don't let them do that.
As the state’s wildfire season kicks into high gear, the state has to rely on the whims of the Trump administration to see if it could possibly, just maybe, have its own troops back so that the state doesn’t burn down.

That is why it was so funny that someone posted about block and tackle yesterday.
Because I was thinking of buying one or a chain block.
But this engine is just under 220 pounds so I thought about the ratchet strap and it worked just as planned.
