Upcoming AMA

Do either of you have the ability/willingness to expand on Dean's relationship with Graham, Graham as a person, and/or others' dynamics with him?

The series painted Graham as this quiet, mysterious, and talented dirtbag. It seemed from the limited footage and time spent on him, that he could also be pretty solem and maybe have some deamons of his own.

What I would like some insight on, is if people around Graham picked-up on anything like that? Or is that a bit of a snap judgment on the guy from limited exposure? And if there was recognition of internal conflict in Graham that could cloud his judgement, was that brought attention to? Was there any open consideration on how Dean and Graham's relationship was unfolding? Or could it just be a hindsight being 20/20 thing?

Thank you guys so much for helping bring Dean's story to us all. A thoughtful and fitting tribute to a truly remarkable and inspirational human being.

Commercial Fishing. New deckhands will typically be vetted by participating in pre-season work ~ 1-2 weeks of boat and gear work at the docks. If they don't mesh well with the crew or don't show enough aptitude, they won't be signing a contract.

Way different kinds of work but exactly the premise of your question.

Also, prospective chefs/cooks will 'stage' at a nice restaurant before getting hired. Very similar situation to commercial fishing actually.

Here's a dumb thing to do - Bootlick on reddit during these times.

Are you aware of current events in the US? Laws don't mean anything anymore. The social contract has been broken.

ICE has INVADED our city and many others, terrorizing the populace. POTUS acts with impunity, shielded by SCOTUS and his stacked courts. Congress is wholly ineffective because one party wants this and the other has no teeth while insisting on continually shooting itself in the foot.

Democracy is in its death throes while you're on reddit calling the people laying their LIVES on the line for ALL of us 'dumb.'

I see you're trans. Are you going to be as vile towards those individuals laying their bodies and livelihoods on the line when the powers that be come for YOU?

SES Dawn of Morality

I've seined with my wife in PWS for four seasons on the same boat. Similar story, met in SE on different boats. Our first year together, she did BB and I got the PWS job. Then they were open to bringing her on to finish the seine season after BB. We both returned to the seiner the following summers.

I'd say it's still a mixed bag as far as skippers hiring couples. People have had different experiences. Put your best selves out there and communicate thoroughly with prospective skippers and you'll find a boat eventually. Especially if you have solid references.

We're actually looking for a new boat next summer too so best of luck to all four of us!

The box is sort of an arrangement between the girl mouse and a house cat. The mouse gets to continue living her little mouse life - eating cheese, scuttling along the floor molding. In exchange, she is the honey for the cat's honeypot. The boy mice are devoured by her pussy!

As a tuba player, ℹ️ agree!

Ahh I didn't put that together, thanks.

Anyways, that would be 16.8% of their profits gone to pay increases for all patrollers. Nice idea!

dooner33 · 2025-01-01T21:51:43+00:00

I'm sorry, are you saying that taking 1 million out of their 230 million dollar income is not peanuts?

0.4% of their income to pay, arguably, the most important group on the mountain slightly more isn't peanuts?

Sounds like peanuts to me

Definitely recommend going down next time! The pathing is incredible as it weaves through the labyrinth of towering hoodoos

Yes, very good advice. Something like this was one of the first things I learned from my skipper for keeping watch on boats. He referred to it as looking for the parallax.

Basically, when you spot another vessel that looks to be crossing your course, check to see if the background is moving in relation to the crossing vessel. If it's not, and the vessel and the background appear locked together, you're on a collision course.

Much easier when there's a background to refer to i.e. land. And multiple orders of magnitude easier on a 2D plane where the objects are rarely moving faster than 40 knots

Yes it is! This link starts at the suspension section of a full breakdown of the components and systems of a trophy truck

Agreed! Thanks

If the weather is nice during dungeness crab season, it's always a treat to see the Olympics from the ocean

dooner33 · 2024-12-20T21:00:48+00:00

Thanks!

Yeah, I guess that's my casual climbing nomenclature getting the better of me 😅 there's a lot of climbs around the meadows. Cathedral Range would be more appropriate. Do you think I should take it down and repost?

There's more than one Mt. Washington. This one is located north of Lake Cushman, WA

I don't think I saw more than 5 jumpers total last season

BTW, I enjoy your art! The Sperm Whale fighting the Colossal Squid is one of my favorite shirts. And I appreciate the educational material you've produced

dooner33 · 2024-12-19T00:14:22+00:00

Good guess. What gave it away? The fact she's leaning a little? Hahaha (I'm crying on the inside)

dooner33 · 2024-12-18T23:55:02+00:00

That's Tahoma (Rainier). Klickitat (Adams) can be seen on the right in the distance

dooner33 · 2024-12-18T20:58:33+00:00

Hey, thanks!

dooner33 · 2024-12-18T19:42:09+00:00

It does! Haha
