    Steeks. Not sure I'm thrilled with Butcher Box. They're usually okay, but sometimes disappointing. Anybody use a different supplier they're happy with. Yes, I'm familiar with Omaha, and local butchers. If I was the meal planner I'd always shop local. Alas, I'm just the cook. :(

    I was thinking a case of duct tape, but more likely you have the winner.

    Hurricane Awareness

    So, reviewing the list,... I've got no immediate family, but two friends and a neighbor that have potentially earned a new nickname. Cool. 8-)

    Bass Pro Shops

    Since I've only been to a Cabela's or Bass Pro about twice I may misunderstand but my impression is they they're charging list price for everything. So, other than one-stop convenience and theater I can't see it being a significant threat to my local tackle shop. Dick's OTOH, well, they can't...

    Its Windy

    Well,... Thanks to the sound of what I thought were squirrels on my garage roof, I discovered that my diagonally opposite neighbor's maple tree was beating the $#it out of my roof shingles. So, time with a pruning pole and a hand clipper we've reduced the immediate threat. I really wish I...

    That may be. I don't know where you'd find a specific number. They've never given us grief, but I guess if you get the wrong guy....

    Meadowbrook Drawbridge Dogfish Report

    The windlass on Avenger is the guy on the bow. So when the "breaker" trips, the indicator is just a lot of profanity directed at the helmsman. We had tried using the boat to pull from different directions, but the current there limits the shenanigans you can do. Eventually we figured it was a...

    I can tie them without looking. Never tried behind my back, but I don't see any reason why not. I used to be able to do a "Flying Bowline." But I got out of practice because it's just not something one does often.

    The Hamilton Marine catalog has some pot-warp crafts, like doormats. They seem like a pretty cool idea. Especially if you have a supply of the stuff and can DIY. Prior to buying the cutting gun I'd just heat lines with a candle and mush them. It worked okay too, and results matter more than...

    HBD! Sorry. I was playing with strings and didn't see this before.

    Meadowbrook Drawbridge Dogfish Report

    The freefall windlass on my friend's Grady may be viable for single-handing. OTOH, there's not a lot of margin if you don't have a deckhand. I finally found the picture of the anchor we bent. It's pretty impressive. And just to clarify, the cable crossing is on the other side of the bridge. I...

    Brushing up on my marlinespike. After I burnt yesterday at my friend's doing the fancy-schmantzy small-diameter, anchor chain to rhode for windlass splice, for therapy I thought I'd learn how to do whipping. Even though I have the rope-smoker (smells almost as bad as pot) cutting gun...
