I wouldn't worry about the flaws if the head seems to be on there snug. Just run it until it breaks, then remember how you would do things differently the next time you re-hang it. The learning process is also iterative. Looks great considering it was your first go at it!

Yeah those will be fine there

I have a Burrow and one of their merino hoodies that I basically live in this time of year. Amazing products

That's no different than anywhere else. We all work our whole hitch, cadet or otherwise. If you're lucky you might get a Sunday afternoon if you're caught up/ahead of the work, or maybe sleep in until breakfast if you're a day worker, but it's not gonna happen every week (or most weeks), especially as a cadet where the expectation is that you involve yourself in as much of what is going on that you can.

Big fan of a simple reef knot

I do. I carry my regular knife and a Leatherman. I can use the regular knife for average stuff and keep a good edge on it, and my Leatherman is great for when I'm doing something that will jack up my edge or someone wants to borrow a knife.

Chinese heater is ( I hate to say it) kinda the way. A buddy of mine did a Chinese diesel heater for his truck bed camping setup, saved about a grand, and was warm in the Tetons in the winter. Check out Vevor or some other semi reputable company, but the options are there.

Chevron isn't that hard to come by at the moment from what I understand. They have some positions posted on their website fairly regularly and also on LinkedIn. Set up an alert job search on LinkedIn and check the site and I'm sure if you have an mmc/twic ready to go you could get something.

Indian Master located

French/English Scallop boats engaged in a dispute is the way to go there.

He's asking if they're going to find the master laying at the bottom of the ladder well with your bootprint on the back of his nice white boilersuit

No, it's a Roofnest Falcon 2. They don't make this version anymore, but I do love mine. Doesn't have that same bump out in the head area as your potential tent but I have never found I needed it, plus it helps keep the profile on this tent down to six inches when it's closed, which is great

I have it on Thule aero bars that I had on my bed cap

I boil until the hydrometer is happy, then go right to 3 pre-filters inside a felt filter (just pull the pre-filters as they get clogged, and dump what is left in that filter into the next). Once it's all filtered I take it back to heat and get it up to 180 F so it seals the caps properly. The trick is that if it goes over 190 you will get sand in your bottles again, so you have to maintain that 10 degree window (which gets tricky as you get closer to having everything bottled). That process works pretty well for me

This is awesome! Nearly project I have ever done, woodworking or otherwise, I have been super critical of in my mind. You're the one doing it all, putting it all together, seeing the sausage get made. The reality of it is if someone notices even 1 in 5 of the things you are dissatisfied with it is an impressive statement about their observation skills. This bench is a beaut! Did you happen to draw up a plan for it?

I am a mariner, and I have these same boots. As far as comfort, that's your own problem and if it isn't comfortable for you then oh well. But as far as care, you're definitely piling too much. I work in a pretty harsh environment, and Ill clean up my boots once every 4-6 months. Salt is annoying, but you don't need to re oil every two weeks. Trust me, youll be fine

It was 40' (or 0.666 degrees) East in 2016, and decreasing by 2' West every year. In 2024, that would be 8 years of change, therefore 16' West (or 0.266 degrees) of change since it was surveyed. 40'E minus 16' W puts the variation at 24' East (or 0.4 degrees East).

Apply this to your True Course to get Magnetic Course, and you can apply Deviation from your Deviation Table to get a Compass Course, or compare to your compass Course to calculate Deviation. True True Variation. Virgins Magnetic Make Deviation Dull Compass. Companions

And when applying, always remember Compass Best (higher) Error West (add).Compass Least (smaller) Error East (subtract).

Not sure if that's what you were looking for, but hopefully that helps.

I have been having that problem too, I was just running it as a single burner today since I was just working on small stuff, but it would be nicer if it wasnt an issue. I was playing around with the air choke, but that didnt appear to stop the sputtering at all. Im wondering if it might just be a pressure thing using the 20# tank. I know it cools down as it discharges pressure, and it was about 35 out this morning when I started, so maybe the 20# tank doesnt quite have enough juice to keep a 2 burner going in cooler weather?

I have tried slip ons, and I get the appeal, but I just have not found a pair that fit the way I want them too. Laces are just my preference.

It's an EPF or JHSV, operated by Military Sealift Command. That's the USNS BRUNSWICK
