Lobstering is not a good idea. The lobstering community is a small, tight-knit, exclusionary one, and they're not pleased with "rec" lobstering. Once they know you're running traps, you're as good as a leper. Believe it or not, on virtually every day the only boats out on the water besides me are lobster boats, and I if I'm having an emergency, it's reassuring to know that I'm on their "Good List" since I buy all my lobster at the local lobster Co-op and I don't have any traps out.

Additionally, at $125 a trap, my 6 traps would quickly start to "disappear". $750 buys a crap load of lobster, more than I every buy in a year and > 1/2 my yearly boat fuel tab. Also I get the lobsters when and in the numbers and size I want.

Besides the magnificent clams, those are the best oysters I've ever dined on, including the ones I used to collect in Mt. Sinai and Port Jefferson harbors. The farmed ones here go for >$2 each, so I'm saving money,, getting exercise, and eating good in the neighborhood.

Needless to say, the Christmas Eve Feast this year will include baked Oyster and Clam appetizers, and the main course will be Lobster Fra Diavolo. When in Rome...
 
they're saying it should have already landed based on the timeline - they're trying to establish communications to see if it survived
 
William Satner was co-narrating the landing on CNN. When they announced it had landed intact - you had to see the shit eating grin on his face.
:D

Well, sorta, unfortunately...

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — A private U.S. lunar lander tilted over at touchdown and ended up on its side near the moon’s south pole, hampering communications, company officials said Friday.

Intuitive Machines, the company that built the six-footed lander, initially said the Odysseus lander was upright after touchdown Thursday. But CEO Steve Altemus said Friday the craft “caught a foot in the surface and tipped” and landed on its side, likely leaning on a rock.

“So far, we have quite a bit of operational capability even though we’re tipped over,” he said.

Look at the bright side! This, and the Japanese SLIM lander going over on its head, are definitive proof that teenage Moon Inhabitants have taken up "Lander Tipping" as a new past time. Guess they've been receiving TikTok transmissions from earth showing cow tipping and they're adjusting it to their own fun... ;););)
 
Would have thought they might have designed in some capability for it to right itself, just in case, given the terrain it was attempting to land on. Pure geniuses, probably a bunch of DEI hires.
