Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

for any of you who have gone on cruises, leaving a busy port often means seeing other cruise ships.
I lived aboard my boat in Aventura Florida for three years, and often went south on the intracoastal to Miami.
There you headed off to port to the inlet, aka Government Cut, or down a ways and right up the Miami River. It was a hopping area.
And right out in the channel there was a turnaround for the cruise ships next to the seaplane landing area.
You really had to be careful and pay attention

interesting in this video, which I muted, is that with one exception, every cruise ship spun around to starboard, not port.
I could not explain why. If a single prop, perhaps, but they have identical exterior conning stations up front, I wonder why starboard/going right
is a preferred option. I wonder if that is a big ship protocol of some sort. Anyone know?

sure looks pretty there
we had to go past this area to get to Biscayne Bay and the Keys.

some snow flurries out now, 75 in Miami

40°F and cloudy this morning, briefly got up to 60° this afternoon. Too cloudy for much drying out today. Sunny and 66° tomorrow should help.

Finally got new tires on the Kia Rio on Friday. Should have done that before winter got active, but ... so it goes.

Got some stuff done in the garage today, including emptying and resetting a couple of mouse traps. Active little boogers the past couple of weeks. Also cleaned windows on the Rio, much needed.

Drew, the company I work for has three facilities, including one in Hermosillo Mexico. About 95% of the business there is supplying electronics assemblies for the local automotive industry. There is indeed a lot of "American" auto manufacturing going on in Mexico.

Good afternoon, gents.

good progress on the Kia Paul, you can see now and it has grip.

Very interesting. Come to think about it all the cruise ships I've seen at Galveston are parked in the same direction like that.

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 21.7C and it's presently 28.6C, lightly overcast & calm. I know that the temperature, here at Wagtail Park, is going to get higher. <woof> A cool change is predicted for Wednesday.

Honestly, that's about it, take care all.

my son had one of those coffee machines, but switched back to a regular pot.

We have a Ninja that will brew either a full pot or K cup. Handy

We use the single serve pods as the coffee consumption is not consistent some days just a couple of cups the next day it could be several but possibly some at lunch time.
We have gone through several different machines our last one is a Ninja and I think it is one of the better ones that we have had.

I have a ninja, but she doesn’t make coffee.

 

[PJSprog]

Wife has a Keurig that does both. Depends on her mood or her plans for the day as to which side she uses.

Me ... I usually drink tea.

I don't drink coffee anymore, but when I did it was a dark french roast on the Turkish grind (super fine) done in a French press.

I just found out that we are going to have an early spring according to Wiarton Willie.
