    This posted about 5 minutes ago, solid preemptive move I think.

    Regarding the virus it would not make sense to not come up with a blanket coverage for COVID 19. But people need to be made aware asap or some could panic.

    Clever! What does no recriminations mean? Sometimes you accuse your opponent of refusing to compromise and he accuses you of the same thing. That's a recrimination, an accusation or insult that's hurled back at someone. If you've ever been in a verbal disagreement with someone, odds are that you've experienced recriminations. I'm listening to this, expect a dual with "playing for change"

    Was just watching the briefing, the question was asked but not answered about can the non insured get tested? That has to be a yes right. If you know how that works in the U.S. could you share that.. In Canada its a matter of a phone call to a clinic in your area then they inform you where to go. You can also just show up but...

    You have cautioned me once before on a thread that started one way then steered its way to show political leanings. Was I talking to myself? Of course not, I do that in private! None the less I agreed with you ,in the open and, the rest is history. Now I still do not see my deleted post as being political! I can't help it if I built a door that lead to a political comment! Now, I am wondering what is going to be determined as a political post? Obviously this is not the first time the family has been faced with this crossing. I bet that many of those same members are still with the forum today; but, times have changed, pressures have changed, perhaps there exists a way to exchange and still be the gentlemen we have proudly displayed!? My opinion to think on is this, is there a divide say between a comment by Puc couple years back (I'm not mentioning it) and Tart's of a couple days back? Does not discussing it do more than keep the divide in the dark? For me I am Canadian, I simply wasn't born with an opinion;)

    I don't get what you're saying or the tone? But I do know what started this. You proved my point; perhaps leaving it to the 2 hard heads in the center of this, is the best way forward. Now let me vent a moment: Monday I sent for the 3rd time a PM, I was sure before this happened that we were due, say past due! In this PM I mentioned traffic some thoughts, and that in MY opinion I sensed the need to engage! I wrote that I was thinking the traffic was due to a missing path, or a friend/family opportunity to vent on news feeds that the members ONLY could access! Why? (my favorite start to everything) Because we are family and friends, which may provide an opportunity for those of us who have settled here and proven to get along even thru disagreements. Why? Because we consider each others impact! This is not my fist forum, it is tho just the only one now. If I feel Dad needs a kick in then chin than let him deal with it, as I with him! Tell you somethin else, Don told me some time back that if I disagree with him to bring it, and that is where it is! Watering Hole is a sub forum and as such fall within house rules.. Maybe another sub is of benefit to the family, with rules to get in, and some privacy to express the current events that effect us all but in different ways and from different view points!? Like somethin with a vote to topics and to remove or correct vicious remarks.. People are just wound to tight these days, that leads to itchy trigger fingers. One last note: Look at what Zag did, he turned the thread with his post, how, he mentioned family. Think he doesn't know what he's doin, hmm!

    Yes sir! You know Randy it amazes me how man can repeat forked up history? Look at the country where yet another plague has spun from jumping from animal to man thru a negligent mindset.. They climbed their economy at every other peoples expense.. How else can we look at this? Look at their industry pollution; selfish selfish behavior! We spin within OUR atmosphere and pay 24/7 for their negligent. Look at their expansions, what is their grand plan? They have empty brand new cities, why? They plow over there agriculture as tho they will not need it? Hard to figure.
  10. Been staring at the screen wondering if I can associate with with the comments?? Then I remembered a time when... So I went to make a coffee on my way to the kitchen or back to the laptop??? I forgot what I remembered!? The K car;) remember the changes that followed around the struggle to survive & Lee Lacocca.. Likely that is the cycle we are seeing again? Now question is, have I remembered what I forgot or am I still sleeping? Hmm
  11. All good points, check compression carefully is a good place to start. And try to check every plug connector and there are many; use a spay lube to open the tough ones. That was a problem on mine.

    Had a bit of time so went looking for risks out of Germany, not much mention.. I did another search for Europe still not too remarkable. Here's a link https://www.townandcountrymag.com/leisure/travel-guide/a31141607/coronavirus-travel-europe/

    Have you looked at hardware stores? Lets hope it is just a flue. My boy had surgery today, first time I see him high;)
  15. I've been holding on to this clip for a while waiting for the time... First it has to be the best put together documentary I have watched on the pacific war. Secondly when we see the youthful faces I find it above me to string words worthy of such determination and team courage. What couldn't be spent in dollars was spent in blood. 1.5 hours

    Try this **** no matter how many times you try, the spelling comes out the same. This one **** “ “ “ That sir is the interface between box and human. “Mano e mano” a mating/rhythm that a box response cannot experience much less understanding! The reference to the Language Police is fact because it is history. It should not be assumed to pertain to a moderator’s responsibility towards the greater good! Our compass points remain at opposites. A post needed correction or removal, that choice was presented. However, Dad chose to include my post without opportunity to defend my position. I feel I am getting a spanking because my brother broke the window! All I was trying to do was help him repair the thing before Dad felt he needed to step in! Now the ball is out of Tarts court, it remains between Dad and I. If you think this is the first time I stand my ground and talk back to Freebird & Marcarl you might want to take a seat then, over in a sheltered corner; the dishes are still in the kitchen cabinet;) I do not have to take a position, I choose to. Tho I know Puc is whispering don’t;)

    Uncle, I respect your effort to calm troubled waters, thank you! A couple of points: Should I respect enough to address a point of view other than my own ? Yes, I will reason with him, perhaps appeal to his better or more considerate side/personality, but; I will not forbid him his thinking nor will I accept twice a patronising “sorry” . I will however carve a path broad enough ”given the chance” to allow a man to recoil and recompose a misstep! My post which was removed was not political and I stated as much. It is an observation, then it was assumed to be political by Dad and CWTART. If I had been asked to clarify my position believe me I would have! This is likely hard to understand if you are not aware of exactly what and how the events transpired. Allow me to share a dirty bit of Canadian history almost forgotten by those of us that did not have to live thru it. My province in order to control its population formed a segment of government we called “The Language Police” it was a cruel and vile assault on an educated proud people which still remains as a sore spot and a best forgotten time in our not so long ago past. My track record is one of boundaries providing, they are flexible enough to allow for a man to catch his breath and make the proper adjustment (s). Why stifle the opportunity to correct a position? Those are my stripes I doubt they will experience mush change;) One last thing: The “civil” nature are why many of us settled here, that is who we are, and worth remembering when such events as earlier in the day happen.

    This video shows another opinion and dates to 2015... I am not aware at the moment if L.A. has changed their engagement rules? But I have seen in videos where L.A. citizens have taken matters into their own hands over this..
  19. The study of marine …. Has been the most challenging I ever engaged in. Also the one I have felt most humbling when discussing it with designers from different regions. When I picked it up again I was convinced that multi hulls were the future! It was the fastest growing segment of design. Monohulls hadn’t changed in decades. And, physicists were adamant that it was impossible to sail at the speed of wind much less twice or three times….. A Lot has changed;) Lesser known designers from both worlds like Kurt Hughes (kind of a rebel) or Dudley Dix contributions were very much over looked and others too like Ganger, and Gougeon Brothers… But Dudley really brought the planing hull forward with his own design for personal use achieving speeds of 22 knots in a homebuilt plywood boat;) Personally I fell in love with his 45 AC and asked him for a couple of changes… Long story when the market fell my my plans turned into pennies so it hasn’t been built. Another the sailing community owes much to is Larry Ellison who spent a fortune and then hooked up with Coutt;, the rest is history still in motion. The 98 Sydney Hobart marked a dramatic change in thinking and one very much worth researching both in video and the many papers written up after the investigation! Sure Condor can share some links and info for those interested. Dudley has 2 books That are also a good read with basics thru to…. http://www.dixdesign.com/index.html The video below is one of my favourites tho quite old now it was crazy exciting back in the day and, sailors then said what if (s) almost every time I’d play it;)

    Wait. It was being handled at mans speed, not the speed of light! Loyalty consists of trust. Let’s all take a minute to reflect about the brain trust, intrusted to this forum/ Sure we remember our high school years but, we are not of those reckless years. We have one case to my recollect of recant that chose to tuck tail and beat it, good reddens. You were right on that one! I am right on this one! I vote it be reinstalled and let us press it out ourselves. We have earned that trust; is my opinion! And thanks to all that disagree with me as it inspires me to do and be a better… Too many assumptions, Canadian follow your networks more than we follow our own. And you spelt Canadian wrongly

    CW.Tart, as you are newish with the club I recommend you restate it differently. We are not permitted to make political comments, of this fashion. I know we as a group will except the point of view and drop it. Perhaps just repost with a different string of words. Delete or alter and I will do the same to this post;)
