Please wave to the cuzzin folk for me but keerful where ya'll mention mah name and don't reveal where ah am..........

It appears dry (even after heavy rains) but their is some signs of previous moisture inside I suspect it was left unheated for awhile years ago

CNG gas stove works, there are three bottles

Nice length for two people or day trips with more. About the right size for cocktail for six, dinner for two, accommodations for two......

Lithium Phosphate batteries sound cool, especially with LED lighting!! I had a Group 8D and three Group 27 gel cells on 36' Illusions, and the 8D put out 1150 cold cranking amps and 225 Amp hours. I just looked an 8D Lithium ion battery up and it puts out 3000 cold cranking amps and 400 Amp hours!!

Check the date on your gas bottles to insure they can still be filled.

I see radar, any ship to shore, ham, GPS, or SAT NAV for blue water sailing?

What do you have for auxiliary power during tricky docking and in marinas?

Since you are the buyer, I would insist on an inspection, even if you have to foot the whole bill. 1976 is old enough for hidden damage. Bad to find it the hard way during use or when the new prospective buyer insists on an inspection when you sell it.

43F @ 88% RH, rain, and predicted to reach 53F.

Another protest march to abolish the police and recall Mayor Wheeler, but this time they cleaned up trash and washed windows, while local civil rights activists join in protesting Portland police kettling protesters that were damaging property a week ago.

I don't know what that focker is but I sure don't want it in my garden.
These guys are cruel to the imaginative types. Us dummies can see a cowboy with a hat on in a second, since we never thought of bugs or monsters. Try looking for his nose in the middle.

Better yet, just cover the right hand dark side and the face will leap out at you

Mass shooting about 35 miles away. 10 dead so far. W T F is going on!!!

The lockdown and activist rhetoric appears to have pushed the lunies over the edge!

39F @ 79% RH, partially cloudy and predicted to reach 58F.

Hee, hee, hee, my hydrometer arrived and I made two runs in the EtOH Pro starting with 80 proof vodka and got it up to 150 proof the first pass and 170 proof the second. I'll make some more runs and when my Drierite arrives, see how concentrated we can get the alcohol.

The brandy I made from 13% Pinot Noir was at 130 proof and the white lightening from cheeep 5% beer only at 110 proof the first pass.

Gray how do you use the Drierite ? At what step in the distillation process?
Also do you have to toss any of the 1st heads?\

I saw it just after Walt said what it was. Reminded me of those ink blotch tests they gave me at the institution. Doctor showed me at least a hundred, and every one reminded me of my gun. He said I was nuts. Me nuts? He's the one with all the gun pics!

You bake it out and add it to the alcohol to absorb moisture and then filter it out, before using the alcohol for extraction.

I couldn't smell any methanol or ethyl acetate so didn't toss any heads. I will when I run my experiment starting with mash.

And all of them naked as a jaybird...................

Lots of gun bills in state legislature to take away more gun rights from those of us obeying current laws, without addressing those ignoring laws.

I finished up my ethanol concentration experiment and was able to concentrate the 80 proof vodka to 189 proof in 5 cycles. The Drierite is due Friday to see how much more water I can remove.
