NYTimes was a siege, thank God Beethoven was the hook...

 

[Roccus7]

...... which puzzle is that ?

I get it from the Portland newspaper. Get the LA Times from the Washington Post and torture myself with the NYTimes from the source. I can do all of them Mon - Sunday except the NYTimes. Thursday through Saturday can be iffy. Sunday can be too long a slog.

Thursday is my special nemesis. Unless you've used the same mind-altering drugs as the author, it can be a real battle.

Noooo, not the Dory!! I love those back creek vids with the Dory!!

Dory was basically a 1 person set up. Looking at a Sundance skiff ....... more room and plan on putting a pedestal seat up on the bow. Much more stable for an old fart like me to move around in.

I know ...... got a lot of sweat and time invested in that boat. I think its sold ...... pretty sure, anyway. I have not met the gentleman yet but he is a well spoken senior. He has looked for a dory for awhile now. Downsizing from a much bigger boat. He said he fished from a dory as a kid ...... it was his first boat. He said he has been looking for a dory because it is also going to be his last boat. I can't express how happy I am its going where it is.

I do the LA Times; Monday to Friday and Sunday is fun but I still struggle with Saturday; it’s a challenge. Actually the longer it takes the more I like it. A lot of time on my hands lately.

 

[WhatKnot]

Packing a cooler with my refrigerated beer before I pull the plug on it in anticipation of tomorrow’s new Fridge delivery. A man needs a cold beer or at least a chilled one. I guestimate it will take the Fridge 24 hours to come down to temperature.

 

[Dx life Rx fishing]

Check to make sure the fridge was transported in an upright position. If it has been on its side during transportation you have to wait before you plug it in.

Dang would have jumped on it if I was on LI. It would be nice to have something smaller than 22' when I get "adventurous" in my estuary fishing. But at 800 RPM, and an incoming tide, the worst I can do is clean the bottom a bit and put a nick or 2 in my prop and skeg. Did some bottom cleaning yesterday...

Sounds like she's going to a proper home and will be properly appreciated and cared for!!
