Yellow snowflakes.

Sister, to my mother: "What color sprinkles are you going to put sprinkles on those?"
Me: "looks like someone already sprinkled on those."



This is a genetic condition. Mother asked sister twice at two different points to pick up more milk. Twice I pointed this out.



Clouat. Gabe's getting as many meals as he wants from me. No schedule. Giving him as little food as I think he'll eat. It's hard being an old kitty.




These ViceGrip pliers designed to fit bolts, allowing me to tighten nuts opposite bolts I can't reach by myself. Been trying to figure out this problem for a long time.



Kayak towing a dock float barge setup.





Corroded chromed bronze.



Temporary chainplate with a mound of butyl rubber. This is a blog about butyl rubber.



New chainplates.




Ancestors. Chicken.

How is Gabe's fur? Do we need to get your mom some pet store gift certificates for Christmas?

Lots of clumps again. He started biting at the groomers so got put on the catsona nongrata list, so finding a groomer that will take a bitey cat will be the hard part. I was thinking about that too. So yes.

In case you wondered why I am personally anti-longhair cats for our immediate household.

I hope we can help find someone. Maybe M can help?

Also, extra milk = time to make pistachio pudding!!

Also also, we need bigger context photos for the sailboat fixings. A zoomed-out photo with an arrow for where that part is located, THEN the zoomed-in one of the globs of butyl rubber!

Yeah, stepping my game up there would be nice. Difficult to fix now, so: above and below deck pictures of the sideshroud chainplates, before and after replacing a temporary one with the finished bronze piece. This is on the side, where there are two side supports for the mast on each side. I could put an arrow on a zoomed out photo but I kinda don't wanna. Below deck photo is in the hanging closet, starboard, opposite the head.

Since this is just aluminium bronze, not fancy silicone bronze, it'll never have that high gloss gold finish, but it'll also never be this pristine again either. I wanted it to look good instead of be good, I'd use more stainless. I'm appreciating things as out of context abstract industrial art but also trying to save notes about method of construction and rationalizations. That does it my logging a lot less accessible.
