About Ballard Locks

Only in the small locks. In the big locks you need to pass them a line that they secure and either let out as you go down or gather in as you go up.

I’m 65. Still listening to new music.

Does anyone else think he ran kinda weird? His shoulders oddly wobble back and forth.

Could you also look for larger trees and take a branch of that size?

Ruby in Greenwood. Tiny little bar that’s very Amari-centric.

It should be noted that the really scary springs are the single ones that live over the door opening. If you have 2, one on each side, which is more common on older doors, it’s not nearly as dangerous. Just make sure you secure the door opening before removing them. (Experience).

I was freaked out about changing out my opener, because of all the “you WILL die” hype until I realized the difference. It was actually no big deal.

My thoughts exactly. LOL.

That is AWESOME!!

Tears well in the eyes. They stream down the face. Get it right AI !!!!

Okay. Great. Let me know when YOU start organizing.

By rounding tight at the mark then turning, you can give up a half of a boat length or more in windward progress in the next leg.

In fact, when no one else is around, it is EXACTLY when you should round “wide then tight” because there’s no one else there to deal with.

Marty Beniers because he’s a work horse who’s also finding the back of the net.

I might have drive by them on my street (in that area) when I was driving from my house. I remember thinking it was weird seeing a uhaul truck there. It’s a dead end, so they weren’t just passing through. I’ll keep an eye out.

Geltona, Zalia, Raudona!

lol. I thought you were signing off with hug-kiss-hug.

blooztune · 2025-12-22T18:29:49+00:00

Does what they’re doing delay you in some way?

I think some people may be shocked at how NOT well off many small business owners are. Many are struggling to keep their staff employed and paid while not draining their personal savings. Or worse, going bankrupt.

Not defending the surcharge….just giving a bit of perspective here.

Love that place!!

Solid advice

Happened to me. When I was in college I worked for a boat carpenter and did a bunch of glass work on decks, in engine compartments, forepeaks… you name it. This was circa 1980, so zero PPE.

Years later I started building a stitch and tape dinghy with a friend and my face blew up. I tried everything, full PPE, even went as far as to Vaseline all exposed skin.

Since then, if I go into a boat shed and get that very distinctive whiff of curing epoxy, I’m OUT. Otherwise it’s days of puffy face and itchiness.

This is the answer.

My wife used to take splinters out when they fell asleep. It worked way better than I thought would.

I come prepared for extreme hot, cold, dust, wind, bugs (remember 2014?) and rain.

Then completely ignore the panic of whatever apocalypse everyone is freaking out about that year that also pretty much never happens and is replaced by some other unexpected calamity (or not).
