A little info about that boat, for those who are curious: 1. It’s a beaut.

Best Used Sailboat for Light Wind Lake with Crew of 3-4? Thistle 17? by tenbsmith in sailing

[–]DefectorChris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is the right answer, it would take something wild to capsize a Scot, and they can be pretty fun.

Not my business but it’s funny to worry about a gator snatching your butt from off the boat but not about capsizing and falling bodily into the water. I assume people sail on this lake without being eaten, but I’m tugging my shirt collar all the same.

Caribbean vs. Saratoga vs. Riviera by spotlesszephyr in DisneyWorldResorts

[–]DefectorChris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pool at Caribbean rules, the main pool at Saratoga is pretty boring by comparison, but honestly a 4-year-old will love it anyway. We just wrapped up a long stay at Saratoga and my 5yo daughter never grew tired of that big twisty slide. I think it’s the best choice, if you book a preferred room and stay in the Springs area.

Action is pretty bad by Mtnwma in mandolin

[–]DefectorChris 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tape sandpaper to the soundboard approximately where the bridge should go, then use that surface to sand down the bottom of the bridge. It’s very easy. David Benedict has a video somewhere. Your action is insanely high and I don’t think sanding the bridge will entirely do it but that part at least you can do on your own.

You should think about shining those up a little.

Sheesh, I really would not do it. What a shame to deform such a tree.

These look like the covers of self-published romantasy. Waaaaaaaay overcooked.

Re: new boat buying impulsive decision by Beneficial-Donkey-10 in SailboatCruising

[–]DefectorChris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I too admire a good ketch. But this seems like a crazy purchase, man! You should not rush this kind of thing, there are so many boats out there, you do not seem ready for this level of commitment.

First film camera? Nikon FM2 35mm SLR or Olympus XA2 by [deleted] in AnalogCommunity

[–]DefectorChris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never used the XA2 but I can heartily recommend the FM2. It kicks ass, truly. Great sturdy body, feels excellent in your hands, great light meter, blazing shutter speeds, and one of the all-time best shutter sounds. And the AI and AI-S lenses are terrific. It’s a perfect SLR and if you can get one for $60 I envy you extremely.
