    Hurricane Ian and the cone of uncertainty

    Be careful out there with your travels. It could be ugly. A side story - I had 2 sons in the Houston area during Harvey. They rode it out with significant flood waters. One put his kids in a blow up pool to cross the street in waist deep water to stay upstairs in a neighbors 2-story. The other...

    Hurricane Ian and the cone of uncertainty

    Stay safe Marley. I'm on the other side of FL, but yeah, looks like a nasty storm. I keep my eye on the NHC website. Storm surge forecast was just updated. What would I do on your coast? Try to make my best risk assessment, then probably go to TX and noodle on my son's Les Paul for a few days.

    Haven’t visited for a while, hope everyone here is doing well. An Atlas V launched from Cape Canaveral at 6:29 EDT this morning. These were taken from my neighborhood in St Augustine ~115 miles north.

    After 40 do you start falling apart

    I grew up in Puyallup, Crystal Mt was the nearest skiing and Green Valley is well known to me. Back in high school I was enjoying the icy moguls, crossed the tips, fell from the top of one mogul to the top of one below it, hit my left shoulder hard. It hurt, but nothing broke, so like a 17-year...

    Coronavirus discussion thread - NO POLITICS, or "POLITICS by PROXY"

    Sorry to read this. Vertigo can be debilitating. Look up BPV or BPPV. If this is the cause, there are a couple of physical positioning maneuvers that can resolve the symptoms. Mr first bout 15 years ago lasted 3 weeks when I didn’t know about this. My second bout 5 years ago I did, and within...

    What's On Your Workbench?

    Thanks :D. This is sort of a practice experimental piece, before I start cutting up an ebony board for the inlays.

    What's On Your Workbench?

    I’ve enjoyed turning bowls and other pieces for 45 years, but I’ve never made a knob. Both of us have a horizon to expand :cool:.
