Very nice. Must be beautiful there, but you're right. Not much thought in that plan. I never had the feeling the locals had much love for out-of-staters once they put their wallets away and now they're more justified in being unfriendly.
I used to know the coast from Rockland to Mt Desert fairly well, loved it, and would love to go back. Wife and I were all set to help a friend deliver his boat from Annapolis to Portland over Memorial Day, but that's obviously off. We also have a standing invite to go up and do a classic boat regatta or two in July or August on my main Bermuda ride, but we probably won't make it.

Will you maybe be able to go to the regatta next year?

Meanwhile, Bosch is a huge company with a lot of IP of their own and they used that IP to bring an arguably superior product to market. Then SawStop lawyered-up and got the courts to see things their way and Bosch was out.

It's beautiful, but even before this it was a frustrating thing. Only recently did they get internet available there - at all. It's unreliable, and the old-timers don't understand why that's a non-starter for some of the younger folks. Then, it's so remote that even from here it's essentially a two-day trip, with a flight and an obnoxious car ride, and then either catching the ferry or having someone available to fetch you with the boat. Certain members of my family (whose worldview extends no further than New England) can't understand why I'm willing to fly to Asia or Europe or Hawai'i but balk at similar travel time to get to a cottage where I'm stuck in close quarters with a bunch of family for extended periods.
Will you maybe be able to go to the regatta next year?

Oh, and my daughter's getting married in Iceland over Memorial Day.

A poor night's sleep, a moment of inattention and a tablesaw. What could possibly go wrong?
It looks like we're gonna save the finger minus the tendon that allows it to flex above the second knuckle. They tell me I'll be released from the hospital on Wed. Thence begins 4-6 weekly dr. visits in covid land with an immune system compromised by antibiotics. Is there anything I can do for the immune system under that regime?

Theyre good - I have friends who like theirs. I nearly got one myself but decided to get the near-twin to AGs R3. Then she swapped it for a SystemSix anyway.

I think the new Giants look sharp and they have good pricing. Don't know if a Defy would work for me.

You just saved yourself about $150 in bike parts, you know. ...if they're even fixing dryers these days.
