We don't give a damn how they do it OUTSIDE.

It was a good vacay for me, but a bad time for others up near my cabin. Two cabins burned to the ground. I don't know the circumstances, but I know that one was occupied by an old guy who short-cuts a lot of stuff. Never short-cut your heating system. Also, 5 vehicles (Fords and Dodges) had their catalytic convertors ripped off at a parking lot along the highway. Thieving Bastards!

Otherwise, I skied, snowshoed, snowmachined, split wood, carried wood, shoveled shitpots of snow, drank beer and wine, and ate some damn good food. Even met the cute neighbor with the cabin on the end of the lake to the south.

Overall, a good time.

This is what happens when you have shitty builder-grade windows and it gets cold (-26°F at the time) outside.

5 crew members feared dead after Alaska fishing boat sinks

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Five fishermen missing after a crab boat sank in the frigid waters off Alaska were feared dead after authorities called off a search for those working in the one of the most dangerous industries in the U.S.

Two other crew members were rescued after the disaster Tuesday, telling authorities they were the only ones who made it into a life raft, the Anchorage Daily News reported. Dean Gribble Jr., who’s appeared on the Discovery Channel documentary series “Deadliest Catch,” and John Lawler suffered hypothermia but have been released from a hospital....

...Gary Knagin of Kodiak, Alaska, the brother-in-law of the boat’s captain, Gary Cobban Jr., told The Associated Press that he doesn’t think the five crew members will be found alive.

“We know the risks involved in this profession, and I’m not holding out hope,” said Knagin, who worked on a crab boat for 30 years in Alaska’s Bering Sea. “I’ve seen this too many times. There’s a 13-hour window in those conditions, and they passed that.”

Also missing are the captain’s son David Lee Cobban, Arthur Ganacias, Brock Rainey and Seth Rousseau-Gano, the Coast Guard said...

If the new safety culture of the construction industry invades commercial fishing, no one will be eating fish.

Never.

Never.

It was chilly here today. 67 as the high.

Heh but we're forecasted to be significantly above average in a few days - mid 80s. Supposed to last about a week. Way too warm. That's May weather.

T-shirt weather.

Ft Yuk is a remote village-type town. Ft Wainwright is an army post that's connected to the world. For most folk, Ft W is much nicer than Ft Yuk any day of the week.

I have no idea about either fort. I chose them because of the degree separation - and they are both forts.

I was in a long sleeved blouse, a sweater and a light jacket. And I was still cold. Ha. I'm a cold wimp now.
