Happy OldWeather Day to Us!

Yes, indeed!

Happy Birthday to us all and remember

Whilst looking for info on the American hermaphrodite brig "Sullivan" mentioned in Kearsarge log.
I came across this book and whilst it does not mention the "Sullivan" I thought it may interest any boat builders amongst us.

That link did not work for me.
It seems that ?id=qTZPsctuutwC needs to be added:

Tried it and it did not work for me either, sorry.
Usually when I want to grab a link I stop after the ? and they work. Not that one.

There is a fund raiser called Movember in which people get sponsored to grow a Mo (mustache) in November.
https://au.movember.com/
Those who have a mo shave them off and re grow them. All sorts of people join in the fund raiser, you see Mos in shop windows and on buses and trains etc.
I started growing my Mo in about 1972.
This is what happened yesterday.



It certainly will not get that thick by the end of November.
(My kids are wondering where their dad went.)

Mary was impressed!!!

With which picture?

Stuart- The Mo was certainly impressive and distinguished, and the fund-raising is to be commended, but 50 years of marriage is to be congratulated!

Thanks Morgan, My mo and I met Janeece 12 Aug 1974 (50 years ago) and we will have been married 50 yrs 24 Aug 2024.

Remembered just in time...

Some good books to read there April as you enjoy a cup of tea on your birthday.

Thanks everyone! The book-themed teapot is fitting because I got a couple new books for my birthday: Beard on Bread and The Nero Wolfe Cookbook (I just recently started reading all of the Nero Wolfe books). And I'm gonna need that tea because my birthday is apple pie spice angel food cake.

Walking home from the grocery store, I saw a car with a sticker that said "Stop texting and driving".
Less than a minute later, a woman almost walked into me because she was texting and walking!
