Hello all, i have taken a few sailing courses at my local bay and have rented their Hobie Getaway a couple of times so pretty new to sailing in general. Well over the weekend, winds were about 10 knots, but for some reason I was having a heck of a time tacking left (port tack?) Last time I went out i didn’t have this problem. It “felt” like there was a stronger current this time. But basically all my starboard tacks were easy. But i would go to make a port tack on a close haul, would fall off a bit to get speed and steer the tiller, i’d let the jib backfill and it would start turning to port and then kind of stop and then then start turning back starboard. Feeling like the current was pushing the front of the boat to the right. Any ideas what could it be? Thanks

So i said “weird flex, but ok”

I only have one i got used on Ebay that needed work so i sharpened to 25 degrees and a 30 degree second bevel. But not sure if thats best?

I can’t go both days as its a bit of a drive. Easier to go on a Sunday, but don’t want to get stuck with tickets either

For me, Not Dead Yet and Bag of Bones were 2 songs that once I saw live was like these are absolute bangers! Before the concert i didn’t pay them much mind for some reason. Any songs like that for you that saw in concert?

Just want to understand, because i heard you can get really sick from not heating leftover rice properly

But the whole thing went Kaa Bluey

But I was the only one who brought their watch collection.

…that seems pretty far fetched!”

Hello all, i am still a few years from retirement, but trying to prepare in advance. I have used Boldin to try to figure things out and watched a bunch of videos etc on retirement income etc. however, One thing I am still a little confused on is how i will pay taxes? I have been working a salaried position for decades and taxes are taken out by my employer and i usually get a refund. Once I go into retirement I am not sure what will happen. I will have a small pension, a 401k and Social Security benefits. Does Social Security have an option of withholding taxes? I don’t think my pension does. And my 401k at Schwab I am not sure on either but I assume i am just withdrawing money and they don’t deal with the tax part of it? Thanks in advance

Cooler heads prevail.

Looking for a decent sloyd knife. What do you recommend? I like to support small makers/blacksmiths as not too crazy expensive or super long waiting list

Thats word to your mother!

Curious if its worth the $10 for bathroom reading
