My niece after graduating college with a Marine Biology degree got a job with the Alaska Fisheries dept. Her job was to go out with those fishing boats and monitor the catch, collecting data for fisheries dept. After a few years she came back to the lower 48, got her Masters degree, applied for a job teaching Science at a local high school. During the job interview the Principal asked if she could handle a bunch of teenage boys; she replied that the fisherman of the "deadliest catch" had been her "drinking buddies" and felt she could handle a bunch of teenage boys. The Prinicpal hired her on the spot. Welcome aboard, Bob

Us too, John. -
Towels ???? Are we back in the kitchen now ?

Oh man has this topic ever taken a GPS detour thru the hinter lands. Or is this a new episode of Comedy Central ?
-
Guess that depends on the day of the week !
-
Yea, it is like the GPS in my car. Wanders all over the countryside taking me from point A to point B. I refer to it as "taking the scenic route", altho there have been a few times where it took me full circle back to point A. In Boy Scouts, back in the dark ages, we were told to use clean dirt or sand, put it in the cast iron to soak up the grease, then use a clean rag to scour the pan clean of sand/ grease.

Good one, Jud !

I can't eat tomatoes either, but do like spaghetti sauce and ketchup which are made from tomatoes. Just can't eat the fruit raw or stewed. I wash my cast iron also in soap and water, no rust, no bad taste either. Go figure !

Gluing the boltropes to the sails

See this Post. The bolt rope goes along the entire edge of the sail. -
Does that include the iron as a dietary supplement ? ☺️

Gluing the boltropes to the sails
Jack12477 replied to Oliver24's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
I just use a hand stitch with needle and thread. I stick the needle thru the rope going between one strand, then into the sail, loop around bottom edge of sail and back up thru the rope. -
Collingwood Group owns the aircraft but it crashed on take-off from Bradley International Airport in Connecticut, John. See Bradley Airport crash

I guess you guys are right. I glue the cradle to the base, so now it is permanent. Thanks for the comments, Likes, and for following along.

I left NY for the wilds of NJ for Basic Training at Fort Dix then up to north western NJ for the duration of my tour on active duty. All I got to see was NJ . But I did get to see a few Broadway plays for FREE courtesy of the USO - one in particular was Annie Get Your Gun with Ethel Merman (at about age 60 or so) and I got to take a "date" too) - and they were really good seats too, not ones up in the nose bleed section but down in the orchestra section. And I did meet my wife there too, been married to her for 52 years, so all in all I guess it was a good tour.

It's actually a shelf unit - the back side is squared off. I just used it to get an idea of size.

Well, I finally got the rest of the fiddly bits completed and installed. The model is now finished. I just have to find a more permanent plank to mount her on.

I think that was the Air Force, Lou ! But they forgot to mention you can only see it from 30,000 feet or higher !
-
Mark, Lou, these are not kits. They are resin (????) cast and come exactly as you see. They are Collectibles. When we were restoring our local lighhouse we started collecting them. The company that made them, Harbour Lights, went out of business after the founder/designer passed away.

Denis, my wife's Harbour Lights Seven Foot Knoll Maryland lighthouse model. (Excuse the dust it's been sitting on a shelf for years).

John are you referring to the 909 crash at Bradley International Airport? There were casualties. There were 3 crew and 10 passengers on board. Seven occupants were killed, and the remaining six were injured severely enough to be taken to the hospital, including one who was airlifted. Among the dead were the pilot and co-pilot, aged 75 and 71 respectively. One person on the ground was injured. The plane belonged to the Collingwood Group.

It's called a "senior moment", Lou

For us, the person doing the notification had to be of equal or higher rank to the deceased member. But the Survivors Assistance Officer who helped with burial arrangements, benefits, etc was either a Warrant or Commissioned Officer.
