Hmmmm… trying to think if that helped – nope! With me it was the smaller the better, the larger the worse. I was OK on the tiny ?sunfish? sailboats not much bigger than a surfboard with a sail.

I loved Hobie Cats, but I also loved sailing on a friend’s 42′ sloop. I’ve never been on a huge boat.

Nice – very nice 🙂
My friend had what he called a “day sailer” maybe that size or a tiny larger. One day it was nice when we went out, but all of a sudden the weather turned bad (classic for New England). The wind was so bad so quickly the boat started tipping over before he could even get the sails down. I had to climb up and stand on the SIDE of the boat pulling on a rope, hanging my weight (at that time @ 100 lbs) against the tipping boat until the sails came down. Even with the sails down the boat was tipping, so I stayed hanging on the edge of the side until it quieted, and we were closer to the dock. Never forgot that, and would still go out. There is something special about sailing I can’t describe.

Sea Fever
BY JOHN MASEFIELD
I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;
And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking.
I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.

The Navy Hymn has been going through my mind ever since the USS John S. McCain accident:
Navy Hymn: “Eternal Father, Strong to Save”
Verse 1: Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who bidd’st the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!
Eternal Father, grant, we pray,
To all Marines, both night and day,
The courage, honor, strength, and skill
Their land to serve, thy law fulfill;
Be thou the shield forevermore
From every peril to the Corps.
The “Navy Hymn” is “Eternal Father, Strong to Save.” The original words were written as a poem in 1860 by William Whiting of Winchester, England, for a student who was about to sail for the United States. The melody, published in 1861, was composed by fellow Englishman, Rev. John Bacchus Dykes, an Episcopalian clergyman. The Marine stanza composed by J. E. Seim (1966).

I have to smile. I remember my brother and I trying to teach the tiny puppy he rescued from a junk yard how to lift his leg to pee. Good thing we did because he grew to well over 6 ft when he stood on his hind legs. We had no idea how much he weighed. We did teach him to relieve himself way in the back of the yard behind a shrub next to the forest so the waste could be dumped in the forest for fertilizer. We knew he was going to be huge, and did not want that in the yard!

The will be about the same time he gets “fixed”. I am waiting until he is almost fully grown.

I know vets who say six months and some who say as low as four months. If I can I wait until 12 months to make sure my male has maximum growth. I waited with Zauber and it took early training and a firm hand to keep his shepherd alpha tendencies in check.
I haven’t seen any problems with waiting, professional breeders easily manage problems with their intact dogs, it ain’t every day with the females and with the makes it’s about training and being the boss. In feral packs the alpha decides who’ll breed and as the dog’s alpha the owner can do that too.

Today I am helping out a farmer friend at his roadside veggie/fruit stand while his wife gets her hair done and takes a break from her usual ten hour shift as chief cashier. Last year I helped him dig sweet potatoes; back breaking sweat inducing work. It’s amazing that sweet potatoes don’t cost fifty dollars a pound.

Growing up in a very polluted town, I have been trying to look for something safe and fluffy to add to my rich, but dense topsoil to use as potting soil.

Get those big bags of peat (sphagnum) moss at the home improvement stores. Get the dry stuff, with wet soil you’re paying for water. We use peat to backfill in holes we put trees into and it dies wonders for root growth and is its own fertilizer.
Also, we have a ‘slop’ box by the kitchen sink. All of our organic kitchen waste gies into it and is tossed into the garden. If you don’t want to toss it directly out into the yard there are small barrels (my fav is the one you can kick around to turn the compost) you can use to make relatively stinkless compost. If you’re really adventurous you can talk with a local grocery to see what they do with produce that’s gone stale, they msy give it to you for composting.
The peat moss is great though, and sometimes it’s on sale late in the season. Spread it on windless days as it’s very dusty and be prepared to mist it down after aplication. I’d also suggest buying, on and off, containers of bait worms and putting them into your garden, they work wonders for improving the soil. They are sure but slow and self-replicate.

One of our friends brought the first blueberry picking machine into the area. Prior to that a flock of migrant Mexican workers came to hand pick but they were getting too expensive. The machine not only picked their berries but he’d rent it out to other farmers along with his Mex crew, he’d make extra cash, his crew would make extra cash and those he rented it out to saved cash.
Interesting thing was that many of the migrants lived in the US, some even had farms of their own, they just earned cash by working as migrants. Many had other crop specialties too, a couple of them spent a few months in the Caribbean on yam/sweet potato farms.

In honor of the ship theme today I substituted my original painting with this:
Captain Isaac Hull’s frigate “USS Constitution’ engaged “HMS Guerriere” in mid-Atlantic on August 19, 1812. The battle raged for half an hour, as “Old Ironsides” vanquished her foe. From:
http://backbaypress.com/bostonfreedomtrail/?p=122
Yesterday I was listening to, and thinking about those patriots on Boston Common this past weekend standing up for freedom of speech such as Sue, the older lady holding the flag that was assaulted. I was thinking how the Freedom Trail and other historic areas were probably closed down by the counter-protesters – that is rioters. I believe that was a big plus for them in picking Boston. I have also wondered why such a beautiful city as Philadelphia has, from what I have read, turned into an awful place you would not want to visit. The rioters pick cities led by democrats that are historic to our freedoms and the revolution, and make it so people do not want to go there.
Here are 2 links (I hope that is OK Stella) One is to Jeff Kuhner, a Boston radio host on wrko from noon until 3. Yesterday he interviewed Sue, the older lady assaulted because she held the flag. His shows are often quite good, and I listen to him as often as I can. Be aware the show on before him are rino’s that contradict themselves into pretzels so I do not listen to them.

Charlottesville Vice Mayor Wes Bellamy is the individual responsible for campaigning for and sitting on the City Council that voted for removing the statues. In December of 2016 vulgar, racist tweets by the Vice Mayor were uncovered and exposed, which led to Bellamy’s resignation from his teaching job at Albermarle High School and his resignation from the Virginia State Board of Education……
The importance of that information lies in the following:
CBS19 website, dated October 29 & October 30, 2016 – “ The tweets were unearthed by local blogger Jason Kessler, who published them on his website along with a call for Bellamy to be removed from Charlottesville City Council. Kessler is critical of Bellamy for his “anti-white racism,” and in particular is critical of the Blue Ribbon Commission on Monuments and Bellamy’s push to remove the statue of Robert E. Lee from downtown Charlottesville”-
– Jason Kessler, founder of Unite the Right. Yep, the man who caused Wes Bellamy great humiliation has now been shown the error of his ways as he has now been targeted as a racist, a white supremacist and the man responsible for the Charlottesville riots. See how that works.

He said one of the worst things they did was: they got on a hot air balloon, and it was this girl’s first-ever solo with passengers. They got to ten thousand feet, her and four dudes with trench-coats on. They looked at her and said “Sorry, ma’am.” Her eyes got wide, and she said “NO!” They all bailed, my good friend was the last, and he looked up and smiled and waved. You need oxygen not much further up than that. When the four of them bailed, you can imagine how fast the balloon climbed in altitude, because of the ballast reduction. She lived, but ended up climbing to 17k ft. He feels bad about that little stunt to this day.

Another song I’ve been thinking of today…”Something’s Coming.” I was in college when WEST SIDE STORY was released in 1961 and went on my first date with a fellow student who would become a good friend. He had a terrific old Morgan convertible and we drove from the San Bernardino County countryside into the big, bad city of Los Angeles to see the film. It was the first time being in a big theater (I have in my mind that it was Graumann’s Chinese Theatre) where after the film was over and that great score played under the ending credits, almost everyone stayed in their seats in sort of a stunned appreciative silence, it was that great a film and film ending. Afterwards we walked up Hollywood Boulevard and purchased the 33-1/3 rpm album.

Until I looked up this info just now, I didn’t know the name of the singer you will hear, though I did know Beymer didn’t do his own singing.
Notes from the IMBd website showing the unfairness of some filmmakers and composers: “Jimmy Bryant was selected over every singer in the world to be the “ghost voice” for Richard Beymer. The producers flew people from all over the world to audition, putting them up at the Beverly Hills Hotel. When the producers decided to hire Jimmy, he was offered a contract at scale, which he took because he needed the money, desperately, at the time. Jimmy Bryant received residuals only for television replays. Inquiring about a Record Album residual, Saul Chaplin told Jimmy he had to deal directly with Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim since they kept those rights. Marni Nixon, a friend of Bernstein, flew her agent to New York to negotiate her deal. Marni Nixon made $18,000 in her first check. Jimmy Bryant, so new in the business, had no such luck negotiating sound track record album residuals.”
“Jimmy Bryant was born on June 2, 1929 in Birmingham, Alabama, USA as James Howard Bryant. He is known for his work on Charlie Wilson’s War (2007), The Paper Brigade(1996) and Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967).”
Perhaps Jimmy Bryant is gone now. But if I were to ever meet him, I’d tell him how sorry I am for never knowing his name and give him a very belated congratulations on a job beautifully done.

BTW, one day in the early 70s I was coming back from lunch and who should be sitting in the office lobby but Richard Beymer. I walked over to him and asked who he was coming in to see ’cause I knew it wasn’t me or my boss. He mentioned the casting director’s name and we sat and talked for about ten minutes. I brought up WEST SIDE STORY and he said, “Oh, you know I didn’t do my own singing.” He seemed rather embarrassed by that.

🙂 Big smile. “Old car guy” in disguise here. So how sore does your back and bum get riding in one of them? The only car built similar to that style and age (not engine) was a 1953 or 55 racing Ferrari. Boy, I don’t know how those race car drivers did it. It was worth the soreness though. It was a blast driving around on a summer day in an old convertible like that. 🙂

My Dad made us learn to change tires, check oil, water, wiper fluid, air pressure, belts etc before we could even get a learner’s permit. My brother is a master mechanic, and doesn’t drive anything newer than 1990. I wanted to buy an old Jaguar back in the 80’s. He said he wouldn’t touch it. He hated the electrical system in it.

Medium sized storm brewing over a group of Cleveland Brown players kneeling and praying yesterday during the national anthem at a preseason game. Let’s presume for a moment that they were beseeching heaven to redress social and economic woes that infect the country…ignoring the fact that, as a group, they make more money in a year than a whole average housing area receives in a yea. No, I believe they were praying that no one realizes how much money they make playing a few hours a year versus what people who actually work for a living and produce a product earn.
The disconnect between what ‘professional’ athletes make and what working folks make is unsettling, so let’s pray that the tax laws are adjusted accordingly. The Left whines and moans about how much more a CEO makes as compared to what the lowest worker under him makes, let them whine about how much more a pro football player makes than that same blue collar worker.

Back in the mid 70’s in college in my public speaking class we had to speak on a subject we knew would be controversial to others in the class. I spoke about professional, organized sports replacing religion in the famous “religion is the opium of the masses” quote. I got more anger than when mentioning abortion. (It was a Catholic college which back then made a difference on abortion views). Hmmmm just realize – would a person now be given that assignment in a snowflake college today?

Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.

Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and Mike Pence and their families as they seek to lead America back to You.
Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall.
Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.
We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
Thank you Father, for Your Love and the gift of Life.
In Jesus name, we pray. Amen

Unfortunately Nehlen has very little support and still is an unknown. He seems to have a lot of support because of his broad support from Trump supporters across the nation. Unfortunately Ryan’s district tends to not take him as serious candidate or even know anything about him. That may change but I don’t know how many WI republicans still think that Ryan is a conservative with their best interests at heart, keeping mind Ted Cruz won the primary here.
Ryan’s biggest opponent will be a very vocal anti-Trump democrat who has a lot of support. Randy Bryce.
Bryce is as Left Wing as Bernie. So basically Paul Ryan with a D behind his name.

I don’t know Paul’s district well enough to know if Bryce has a legitimate chance or if Ryan is the new Ted Kennedy of elections. Both men are ardent opponents of President Trump but Ryan is at least forced to vote with the president to one degree or another. Not defending Ryan at all I think he is despicable I just don’t know that the people in district 1 are willing to give him anything other than a golden pass.
