It is on the hard and has been for a while. The hull is very solid. It needs new bottom paint and I will redo the top paint, the standing rigging is solid but i want to remove some rust staining, the running rigging seems like it should be ok but i will replace most of it while I have the mast off, it has a newly rebuilt atomic motor that needs to be adjusted and fired up.
Overall I can't wait to get it in the water.
This happened several years ago, and I am forever relieved I don't work in a restaurant anymore. Solidarity to all kitchen workers for the endless bullshit you have to deal with.
At the time, I was working in the kitchen as an "assembler". This can be one of the most clutch positions on the line, as you take all the food being prepared by the other cooks and organize it into tickets that can be taken out into the dining room.
Accordingly, it is often a bottleneck for food leaving the kitchen - if you have a slow assembler, cooked food dies under the heating lamps. Grilled salmon dries out, fries become soggy, linguini alfredo hardens into concrete, really horrific shit. It is imperative that food not sit in the window.
I was working a weekday lunch shift, which is normally pretty slow. We must have provoked the wrath of the restaurant gods on this day though, because out of nowhere the store got hit with a tsunami of customers.
I could just barely make out the other cooks through the clouds of shrimp scampi, fryer grease, and cheddar bay biscuits flying through the air. I knew the shit blizzard was headed my direction, and began putting empty plates up in the window with the "shape" of each ticket that was to leave the kitchen, a technique I had learned to help survive bullshit like this.
On the other side of the window, coordinating the servers, was my manager, Cuntface. Shouldn't use his real name, actually, let's call him "Bob" instead.
Bob was a bit hyperactive and had an irritating tendency to micromanage kitchen processes, a problem compounded by his not knowing how the fuck to run a kitchen. When I began putting empty plates in the window so that the incoming, Interstellar-sized wave of seafood had something to land on, he stopped me.
"What are you doing?" Bob asked.
"I'm putting the plates and their sides in the window because we're about to have a very high volume of food coming through", I replied.
"Well, this is Red Lobster, and here we do the things the Red Lobster Way. We plate the food when the food is ready, and we don't put sides on early."
I tried explaining that the Red Lobster Way was designed by sentient suits and ties physically incapable of holding a spatula; that our sacred Way (as dictated in the Good Book of Employee Training) had died in the trenches of last year's endless shrimp special; that, while I appreciated the job, I wasn't prepared for an honorable death at the hands of this rush to uphold its mos
... keep reading on reddit ➡I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
I was supposed to post last Friday, but life got away from me. I hope it's ok I posted today instead!
CW: I mention my terminally ill parents… specifically in Day 7.
This is a one year update diary! Past diary is here. This is the exact same week one year later. Some big changes: all of my kids are back to in-person school (omicron I see you and I need you to stop), my husband started a new (less toxic hallelujah) job in May, and I started a new job earlier this month.
⭐️Section One: Assets and Debt
We combine all our finances, except we have separate savings and credit cards. Because of our age gap (i.e. a decent salary gap) and the fact that I got married at 24 and then worked part-time while raising kids, there was really no other way to do it. We’ve always considered any money made by either of us our money together as a family. Never settle for a partner who ever makes you feel guilty or financially insecure about what you are or are not contributing. That is not a partnership. Worth and value is a measure so much deeper than money. It boils my blood to see women made to feel less than their partner due to finances.

Kids Money:
529 plans: My in-laws deposited 30k in each of our kids’ 529 plans after they were born. Any money gifts they are given before 5 go here, and we’ll also contribute here and there when we can. After 5 it goes to their own savings accounts.
⭐️Section Two: Income
Income Progression: I was lucky to travel and live on my own a lot before and during college, and supported myself through various jobs like bartending, barista-ing, babysitting, tutoring, and writing/editing. I found college very restrictive and didn’t spend a lot of time there (hilarious given my high amount of debt…). By the time I was in my early 20s I was actually kind of ready to settle down, met my husband through friends, and we started a family pretty quickly.
The last 10 years my emphasis has been mostly on parenting, but I kept a great flexible job (first PT, then FT telework) in higher ed that crucially allowed me to stay in the workforce and save for retirement. We have a 9 year old, 6 year old, and almost 2 year old. My university kept stalling on giving me a promotion/salary increase de

They were cooked in Greece.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Or would that be too forward thinking?
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
I won't be doing that today!

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
A play on words.
