Sorry for the off-topic, Mon ami.



Unless a post violates the forum rules, deleting another member’s post without a valid reason is neither appropriate nor particularly polite to others, IMHO. But....I'm open to discussions/suggestions.

the other that is in question doesn't have any issues with the deletion. In fact, he said it was a shame to clutter up my log with a mathematical discussion. But that's ok. Let's just leave things as they are. I have had a chance to cool off. Sorry @dockattner for posting this in your log.
 
Greetings friends. We just had the squall to end all squalls. We were sitting out after a day of exploring Acadia and it was sunny but breezy. Suddenly 50 - 60 mile per hour winds and sheets of rain that I thought would blow our cottage off its foundation. And now this (only 10 minutes later):

This is not a stream. The tide is coming in and the ocean side is about a foot higher than the tidal pool in front of our cottage:

Pretty cool if you grew up and live in the midwest like I do!

We just wrapped up a few days in ME, RI, and CT. It’s hard to get tired of New England this time of year.

Sigh… I just noticed this is my third build report to eclipse 100 pages. I fully realize this makes it completely unusable to anyone with a future interest in finding a specific detail in the construction. My apologies to that future modeler…

There was a very detailed report on another forum (now lost) that had a hyper-linked index but wow, that’s a lot of work…

I know that feeling, Paul. ;) I made a excel hyper-linked index for my Bluenose build. For me it works fine to answer questions or look something up to help others. I estimate that someone else will have to create another file to be able to search in my file.:rolleyes:ROTF

There's some really impressive work being shared on the forum the past few weeks. I'd name names but I don't want to leave anyone off. Anyway, look around and you'll be impressed.

In my case, modeling time has been virtually nonexistent. But I did want to share my own incredibly impressive and exciting work...

I made dots on brackets ROTFROTFROTF:

I failed at making tiny leaf decorations for the base of these brackets. I'll take another swing at it, but can't promise I won't just leave them off.

Thanks for the visit!

'It's all in the Details!' And you made them, Paul. With a capital 'D'!
