Key Lime Pie
 

Just bought a whole Key Lime pie and I intend to eat the
whole thing this evening.

Already ate a New York strip steak cooked on the grill and a
Caesar salad. The pie is for desert.

Gotta keep my strength up for pulling sheets and halyards.

What a lousy cut of meat. NYers no nothing about steaks!

Soon I will fire up the magma grill for Ribeyes that have been soaking
in my secret marinade all night.


and a
Caesar salad.

Sounds good!

Sounds good to! Topped off with a nice lime margarita in a glass with
the rim crusted with seasalt.

Well here we have a wicked cold front moving thru, 20-30 knots out of
the north, we will be sitting on the bottom soon.
Will have to find other ways to burn off the calories.

That same front is expected here tomorrow afternoon.

Sounds like a good time for me to try out my new
spinnaker and gear.

New York strip steaks are good meat. These are
on sale for $5.99 a pounds. They are lean and
tender.

Ribeyes are also a good cut of meat. A little more
tender and civilized perhaps but more for the
girls. Did Miss Terry 'suggest' you buy them
or did she buy them herself?

Let me guess, does it contain ferrous oxide?

I prefer fillet. How much do you pay for it?

Cheers

9-11 bucks a pound is the asking price. I don't pay that much
for any meat.

She does all the grocery shopping Capt. And with a 6 cubic foot freezer
on the boat she buys it when on-sale and stocks up. 1&1/4" thick
marbled angus. You can stick to your manly leather steaks. Mine you can
cut with a fork.

That's too bad. You don't want lean steaks.

You will find no ferrous oxide anywhere on my fine British steel
vessel.

I thought it was Amerrycan

It is now, But she was buildt in Lowenstolt England, a small port town
on the north sea. Her steel is the finest found in England at the time,
all her fittings and thru hulls are Monel.

I have not been able to find who the orignal owner or builder was. All
I know is her original name the C Warden.

Joe

She is now

But RedCloud was buildt in Lownestolt England, A small port town on the
North Sea.

Her original name was C Warden, I have not been able to find who was
the builder or original owner yet. All I know is he buildt her of the
finest steel found in england, most likely they melted down a few tons
of old Knight swords and armor. All her fittings and thru hulls are
monel. Very unique for a 1976 vessel.

Joe

Probably melted down a Kraut submarine.

I assume you mean Lowestoft. You should go there and check around. Sure
to be some old timers who could tell you a little.

Usually that stuff wasn't steel, it was a rather spongy grade of wrought
iron. Just try making steel on a hand-pumped bellows some time.

... All her fittings and thru hulls are

???

Monel was invented long long before 1976 my friend. It was used in steam
turbines in the 19-teens among other things. The U.S. Navy was using
monel thru-hulls in the 1950s if not much eariler. My understanding is
that Monel is not a type of steel at all, but is actually nickel &
copper with a little steel mixed in.

DSK

Yeah Lowestoft thats the place, on the west coast of the isle.

When I purchaced RedCloud I found an old life ring cover with the name
and port stenciled on it. The previous owner told me the boat was
sailed to the USA in 1976 for the celebration in NY harbor. went back
to england and returned to texas in the early 80's. The owner got
divorced and sold it to the guy I bought it from. His house burned down
right before Christmas so he needed the money and I had the cash. When
I bought her she had the HMS Neversail painted on the bow and had been
neglected for many years. I put around 35K into restoring her to better
than new condition. Those crazy brits had 2 heads on the boat and no
shower. I'd love to find out who the original owner/ builder was. So
many parts were hand made like the wheel, all the turnbuckles, the mast
lowering devices ect that maybe it was a backyard project buildt by a
shipyard worker.

Ive contacted several people in the lowestoft area but no ones
remembers the C Warden.

The ability to weld Monel to steel is the hard part, Not that Monel
did not exist.

Dunno. Hi-pressure hi-flow steam valves have some of the innards made of
some exotic metals, but IIRC it's hi nickel chrome steel, not Monel.

Advances in metallurgy is one reason why stuff lasts so much longer now
than it used to.

Here in Michigan, if a commercial orchard is sold off as residential real
estate, the apple tress must all be taken down because the new home owners
may not treat them with pesticide, thus unleashing an unwanted insect
population. One of our boys bought a farmhouse that was originally a
commercial orchard and they raised the orchard...hence...a lot of apple
wood...we have a lot of oak around here but the big ones were all lumbered
off 75-100 years ago...they are still trying to catch up with the maple and
walnut population. I've been nursing along two oak trees since we moved
here 23 years ago...one is finally big enough to produce acorns and we had
our first squirrels move in this year. (I like squirrels, so that's an ok
thing).

Ya gotta shoot a bunch of em, add some rabbits and a pheasant or two
if you're lucky enough to find some. In a pinch , groundhog can be
used, but it needs to be soaked a while first.
