What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Been missing you guys as well! With my new schedule at work on my late weeks is made it harder to have free time.
Your here now that’s all that is important, better late than never. Ok, enough cliches.
 
@Remi , my son is leaving for France Tuesday for 2 1/2 weeks. He’s going to be about an hour south of Clermont Ferrand. He’s going to stick around a day or two after his job is complete. Are you familiar with this area of France or did you not live anywhere close. If you’re familiar any suggestions of must see or go places?
Hi Kevin, I will have to look what is nice around but for sure he will need to have a car. Next week end I am also going to France for 2 weeks for work (if flight not cancelled). I will be south of Lyon which is really not far. Unfortunately, I will fly on the common week end to see my parents otherwise I would have meet him to visit a bit around. I will come back to you.

Yes, it runs but thinking it would make a nice display to hang on the wall at my cabin on the lake. Weighs maybe 20lbs. A 16” 2x8 would be plenty (prob. 2x6) but any ideas for the bracket? Was thinking wrought iron I-beam like brackets turned sideways and mount the board to that? Needs to be about 8” off the wall.

Here's our current weather it definitely feels like the real feel of 95 of not higher.
I walked outside with the kids to play, we all agreed to just go back inside after 5 minutes. The temp said 86 at the time but not sure what the index is.

Ok; editing post. Just checked.

Not good for people like me that only have a one year memory ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
A whole year, how blessed you are lol, Friday comes to me and I have to balance what I worked during the week for the payment and I forget things I did lol, thank goodness my dad writes it down
 
Anyone else having issues getting notifications?
Not with notifications, but to enter the forum, sometimes it stays there loading and I have to wait several minutes.

I haven't had that issue but my notifications don't show up until I started to go to the app pr page then they all pop up. It's been this way for several days now.

Well your spot will always be your spot. It wouldn't be the same smorgasbord without your good mornings!
 
Did you get to see the Northern Lights last October? Seeing it live is the real @smorgasbordafterdark
I saw them down here on the Mississippi Gulf coast. Could you imagine? Obviously that's something we don't see often.
