And then there were three

Nice and quiet here, after the holiday. Well, until my daughter wakes up :0 Our empty nest in now a little crowded, but I don't mind. It's good to have Nicole here, after being away for 5 yrs. I wore myself out over the last few days, with all the driving through the bad weather. Driving 700 miles in a noisy, shaking 16 foot truck, towing a mini-van on a carrier, through a blizzard was not fun. It only took 13 hours, ugh. But now I pay the price with a cold. First one in 3 years, and it comes over the holiday. I need a laugh. This works...

Off to see the Blizzard

Graduation day in Indiana. Yee Haw. Should be quite the happy day, as B2 gets her degree in Engineering. Purdue Engineering that is :)

Boiler Up Baby!

Poppa's proud.

I would puke

Not sure if I could make it to the head on a ride like this. Pee your pants? Imagine the cleanup after arriving in port, right after you kissed the ground.

Shipwreck

Rare ship found in Lake Ontario

Shipwreck enthusiasts have discovered a rare dagger-board schooner in the very deep water off the southern shore of Lake Ontario near Oak Orchard, New York.

Jim Kennard and Dan Scoville of Shipwreck World located the ship using deep scan sonar equipment. Vessels of this type were used for a short period of time in the early 1800’s.

This ship is the only dagger-board known to have been found in the Great Lakes.

Kennard and Scoville also what they call the “Holy Grail” of shipwrecks in the Great Lakes in June. Read story
