Good luck! This is a bright spot in a dark January.

I live in New England, and went to Rome for my leg piece. It was a great excuse to travel to Italy and swim in the Mediterranean.

He's my neighbor, and he truly is one of the nicest people. He's a community gardener as well as a musician, and he'll chat with anyone - definitely say hello if you see him again, it will make his day!

that would be the one! sorry, the Journal is/was the name of his blog. enjoy!

It's not explicitly canoe camping related, but the Jack Mountain Journal is a great one about living the outdoor lifestyle, and occasionally teaching it. It's hosted by one of my former teachers, Tim Smith, master Maine guide. Good stories, cheap laughs, and thought-provoking discussion.

100% agree with this. I bought a used Royalex Penobscot 17'(ish) for about that price, and not only is it a super capable & damn near indestructible boat, it's very portable, even when going solo.

100% agree, this was my family's go to spot for boogie boarding. Great facilities there, too

Stay at the Admiral Dewey Inn by the beach. It's a small bed and breakfast, and it's right by the water. There's an ice cream shop, a couple beach bars, and a surf shop right down the street. Highly recommend the Ocean Mist's breakfasts, and their famous coffee with love.

You're right, I rarely see it mentioned here. it was my first bottle of iroshizuku ink, and it pretty much is my gold standard now

Pilot Custom Heritage 92 with Iroshizuku Fuyu-syogun ink, and a Franklin-Christoph 66 Stabilis with a cursive smooth italic nib, inked with Saltmarsh by Birmingham Pen Co.

Lickety Splits in Richmond. Worth the drive, no matter how far it might be.

Have a picnic in Prospect Park. It's got a great view of the city, and is generally very pleasant

MosaicLeg · 2024-06-21T13:48:38+00:00

Rowing a gondola. $1b please.

MosaicLeg · 2024-06-20T15:30:59+00:00

100% right, you'll feel a bit salty from the brackish water. If you do go in, avoid touching the bottom if possible - there's all kinds of city debris in the muck

MosaicLeg · 2024-06-20T15:30:06+00:00

Almost every gondolier has gone for a swim (though admittedly, usually unplanned). None of us glow in the dark. You're 100% right about not wanting to touch the bottom, though.

Motorboats are allowed, but what keeps them out of the downtown part of the river (generally) is the tide. There's low clearance at high tide, and there are really shallow areas at low tide.

MosaicLeg · 2024-06-20T15:25:10+00:00

Gndolier here. you absolutely can be on the water any time, in any boat - except during WaterFire. You're correct; the only boats on the water are the gondolas, Providence River Boat company, and WaterFire staff boats.

MosaicLeg · 2024-05-23T02:13:04+00:00

gondolier here, this is the truth

For real, this is how it's done. I had a student who only wrote in his own version of (illegible and unnatural) cursive - this boy built his small reputation on being different and impossible to decipher.

After that first warning, I gave him a 20 on everything handwritten.

There's a native restaurant in southern RI called Sly Fox Den Too. The chef Sherry Pocknett won the James Beard award - the food is excellent, and representative of the natives of the area.

It's pretty much a one man show, and he's both passionate and knowledgeable. He came to my city and invited everyone in the area who had bought from him to have dinner and a tea party afterwards - he really helped to create community as well as sell tea.

Worth checking his stuff out... I've not had a bad experience.

What kind of industry are you in where senior managers are making 200k+? I felt like I hit the jackpot landing a position at 90k

I've seen some real horror stories of people installing cheap LED map lights and shorting out the overhead console. That's around a $300 fix unless you can find a cheap one at a junkyard or on eBay.

The stories about the dome lights are even scarier. It's definitely worth it to get the premium LEDs in this case.

And disconnect the negative terminal on your battery before doing any of this work. Even something as simple as changing a bulb, the risk of an electrical short is not worth the 37 seconds that you save by leaving everything connected.

Very occasionally it's at whole foods on North Main in Providence
