This is just awful. I used to watch his show when the Food Network first went on the air.
May he rest in peace

59°F in the Cave Sunday...it wasn't too bad as long as I kept moving around. But it finally got too cold for these old bones and the heat's been chugging away since Sunday afternoon.
Sorry if I missed it but @Gee Wally, did you manage to stay covid free? How is your wife?
so far - yes.
Shes much improved thanks. Still bad cough and tired but no where near what it was.
40 here last night. Windows open, ceiling fan on, sheet, one blanket.....love this weather

It was the Grace Bailey. We always see that schooner when we are out sailing... Their captain is friends with the captains on the Heritage.I wonder which schooner it was? It is not the Heritage.
That is terrible
One person died and three people were injured after a mast buckled and fell on the Grace Bailey schooner on Monday. The top of one of the 80-foot schooner’s two masts broke suddenly on Monday morning while the boat was off the Rockland Breakwater, according to the Courier-Gazette.

The Grace Bailey is a beautiful schooner.
They think the mast broke due to wood rot. It never happens.
It is terrible.
The Sunday Globe travel section yesterday had large feature article on this schooner. Weird serendipity. Trying to attach here. Horrible accident.

Hard to imagine that on a ship that old and presumably well maintained that they could miss the mast having wood rot. Guessing there will be lawsuits.
Just an awful thing to happen.
I know they all carry insurance. From what I just read this is very unusual. Actually, they are doing an investigation so they aren't saying for sure it was wood rot but the coast guard feels that is what probably happened.
The Schooner Heritage scrapes and revarnishes all wood to protect it from rainwater before every season.
It sails From June until the first week of Oct. It takes a couple of months to prep it for sail and the crew starts work in April. It takes a few weeks to prep it for winter too.
Funny that every morning they swab the wood decks with sea water which is actually good for the wood. It is rainwater that causes the rot. These are things I have learned over the years from sailing.
The Grace Bailey was maybe the oldest ship in the Windjammer Fleet. She is a beautiful schooner and I feel bad for all.
The largest of the Windjammer Fleet stopped sailing as it needed too much work for the owner to afford. It is a 3 mast schooner that carried 40 passengers. All of the schooners took financial hits during COVID.
I think it has been sitting in the Camden Harbor for months.
It is the Victory Chimes. Not sure what will be done with it.

I’m home sick from work today. (Something I ate REALLY didn’t agree with me)
Is it okay to turn the heat on now, or am I being stubborn and foolish?

not being a dick in asking this I swear - why would anyone labour over the decision to turn on heat, lol

We are not 20 anymore, turn it on now. Treat yourself!
Many people in New England are stubborn.
I had my heat at 60 and it came on, so I figured it was time.
It is true you get colder as you age. I purchased a small electric heater that I use in my living room when it is really cold. It helps keep the bill down for heat.
