@mclaincausey unsurprisingly I both got it and loved it. The emoji is inspired.

@mclaincausey I still don’t get the lewd joke. Please explain it to me or clue me in on where to find an emoji dictionary.

One of the things that we did not learn, but I put into practice today, is what to do when you are 15 miles offshore and you're knees interfere with the engine ignition switches and both engines "fail".....

Would you consider installing a sprung transparent plastic U-shaped cover over the switches to avoid that same “knee” accident in the future?

That is exactly what I am considering, just have not got around to it....

The bilge pump switches are near my right knee and I sometimes find that I have knocked them from auto to off. Need to do the same thing with them....

Used Apiele Lock Switches on a project once.

One of the workers comes up and says, “Cool jeans…I love the wash on them!”

I literally can't think of a more perfect backhanded compliment you could say to a denim enthusiast

Those look perfect.......Thanks

@T4920 haha…true true. Like, “fucker!! I worked hard for this look!!” But also, “people pay a lot of money for their jeans to look this way right from the mall!”

Wait, I pay a lot of money and do the hard work…hmmm

I'm riding and volunteering as a marshaller for the second time at DGR. Please support if you can. For those that don't know DGR is in support with Movember and raises funds and awareness for mens mental health and prostate cancer.

This year feels very personal to me as one of my very close mates (literally one of the boys), tried to take his own life twice. Thankfully, he is still around and is on a positive growth about his mental health. So, I just want everyone to take a second and check in with one of their mate, maybe someone you were once close but haven't in a while, and ask them if they okay or if they're going alright. A conversation, a catch up, a coffee catch up could mean more than anything..

I am going to be in so much shit when Paula finds out. I was doing something silly and bashed my head (again). Luckily Les our odd-job man who is trained in first aid was with me, so he patched me up....

[louisbosco]

what was it this time?

[Giles]

Climbing a known unsafe structure to get over a wall. It collapsed.....

Stupid old man! (could have been me)

[Giles]

Oh yeah, we both knew it was stupid with an 90% chance of a fuck-up occurring....

Unsafe structure, wall or both?

[Giles]

The thing I was climbing up. The wall I hit with my head is 18" thick, so even my head did little damage to it.....

[ARNC]

Sounds like it could have been a lot worse - head vs wall isn’t a fair fight!

[Matt]

Yeah, my instinct is to give you some shit but we both know I’d probably have done the same thing.

better watch out on the water---Orca's can smell that a mile away
