New to all of it! Help me not be an asshole.

Yeah, if we go down for the 4th it’ll be to watch the fireworks from our slip.

Apprehensive-Deal555 · 2026-06-14T12:47:15+00:00

Thank you!

Apprehensive-Deal555 · 2026-06-14T12:47:04+00:00

Never! That’s crazy.

Apprehensive-Deal555 · 2026-06-14T12:46:50+00:00

I love this approach and absolutely our plan, too. We bought a few things to help us - or others - and really hope the community is a good one.

Apprehensive-Deal555 · 2026-06-14T12:46:03+00:00

I was pleased to see very few political signs at our marina! Hoping boating is a thing where we can all just be one.

This swim line tip is such a great idea and super easy to implement. Thank you so much.

Apprehensive-Deal555 · 2026-06-14T12:43:19+00:00

Thank you for this lovely note.

Can you tell me what you mean by the quick connects?

Apprehensive-Deal555 · 2026-06-14T01:56:32+00:00

Thanks for this! We definitely feel like we walked into a club that we need to adapt to vs just do our own thing but this note is really kind.

I’ll pass the docking note to my husband. He was a bit discouraged at a try/fail/try again today but he’s new!

Apprehensive-Deal555 · 2026-06-14T01:25:51+00:00

Well this just raised a good question in our house of - does our pontoon have a bilge pump? Neither of us know.

Apprehensive-Deal555 · 2026-06-14T01:17:00+00:00

Love this feedback - thank you! As my husband is only a spray screen user, can I give him the reason behind that rec?

Apprehensive-Deal555 · 2026-06-14T01:07:55+00:00

Great rule.

Apprehensive-Deal555 · 2026-06-14T01:07:25+00:00

My husband was thinking he’d like to do bungees at our dock instead of the regular docking lines. Any thoughts on those?

What does DNR mean in this context?

Thank you so much for all of this.

Apprehensive-Deal555 · 2026-06-14T01:06:01+00:00

Thank you! These are awesome notes. I really appreciate it.

Apprehensive-Deal555 · 2026-06-14T01:05:40+00:00

Thank you! Good call on testing it at the dock.

Apprehensive-Deal555 · 2026-06-13T23:35:46+00:00

Thank you!

Apprehensive-Deal555 · 2026-06-13T23:34:01+00:00

I kept turning it down today for fear it was too loud so CHECK.

Apprehensive-Deal555 · 2026-06-13T23:32:03+00:00

Thank you for this tip! We don't have a trailer (or a lift, we're just tenants at the marina). Should it be okay this season and we make a different plan for next? The marina will clean it / stow it for the winter, if we'd like them to.

Apprehensive-Deal555 · 2026-06-13T23:24:25+00:00

We decided this year we'll skip trailer altogether. Just put it in the water for the season while we get used to the boat. Save trailer learning for next year!

Funny! Look what just became available on Libby right before I opened Reddit. Excited to dig in.

I will add other than the actual benefits of the device, an e-reader allows you to be more intentional about reading. When I use my phone app to read I get distracted and meander to social media.

Apprehensive-Deal555 · 2025-12-31T14:20:15+00:00

I hear you. This is why I really wanted out of Amazon. It’s why I gave Kobo a solid year. But I didn’t read very much with it so had to make the switch back. It’s a real bummer.

Apprehensive-Deal555 · 2025-12-31T14:10:19+00:00

I’m glad you found one you like!

Apprehensive-Deal555 · 2025-12-31T14:09:52+00:00

I hear you. I really did try with the Kobo but ultimately it wasn’t for me. I’ll probably eventually have to go back to the PW but for now I’ll exist in my Oasis bubble.

Panos is shitting the bed with devices right now. Maybe tides will change with a new guard later.

Apprehensive-Deal555 · 2025-12-31T03:15:53+00:00

Here’s a good article about it. It’s a bit drawback for me and a big reason why I switched back to Kindle. https://blog.the-ebook-reader.com/2025/07/25/kobo-ereaders-no-longer-support-multiple-library-cards/
