While I did mention pulling my boat out of the water this weekend, I put it off for another week as there were a couple of things I needed to do before I could proceed, one of them making sure the boat trailer was pulled out of storage and the registration sticker for this year placed upon the license plate, something I will be attending to on Monday. All of this is due to the lake level being so low. A couple of the boats that dock along the same pier as I will have problems getting out as the water level is so low that they are now sitting on the lake bed. It’s going to take some work to get them out!
I will be taking one last cruise around the lake today unless I am able to sneak one in sometime later this week before pulling the boat out of the water.
And so it goes.

I figured as much.
The FBI did send hundreds of undercover assets into the J6 protests.
The best part of the linked post is the Babylon Bee’s take on the whole thing: New Report indicates that only 3 people in the January 6 crowd were not FBI agents.
‘Nuff said.

I have to say that I have noticed the same thing...and I’m not surprised.
People are abandoning movie theaters in favor of streaming movies at home.
Americans are more likely to watch newly released movies from the comfort of their own homes instead of heading out to a theater, according to a new poll.I understand it as the cost of a night out at the movies keeps climbing. Almost everyone has an HDTV and more than a few have a 4K UHD TV. I watch far more newer movies at home than at a theater. The last movies I saw in a theater were Downton Abbey, Yesterday, and Bohemian Rhapsody some years ago. Otherwise I watch them one of my 52” Sharp Aquos HDTVs. I have not yet upgraded to a larger 4K UHD TV and am unlikely to do so unless one of the Sharp’s die.
About three-quarters of U.S. adults said they watched a new movie on streaming instead of in the theater at least once in the past year, according to the survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, including about 3 in 10 who watched new movies on streaming at least once a month.
Meanwhile, about two-thirds of Americans said that they’ve watched a recently released movie in a theater in the past year, and only 16% said they went at least once a month.
The results suggest that, on the whole, American moviegoers are more likely to stream a film than see it in the theaters, a shifting tide that was only accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath. Convenience and cost are both factors for many people who can’t find the time to go to a theater or pay the increasingly high price for a ticket.
I can watch at my convenience, pause if I need to hit the head or get some more snacks, or even stop watching and pick up again the next day if it comes to that. I don’t have worry about parking, rude patrons, and expensive concession stand refreshments.
Considering how many of the movies coming out of Hollywood these days are dreadful, I am not inclined to waste my time and money at a movie theater to watch any of them.

As the great philosopher Robert A. Heinlein once said, “Stupidity is he only universal capital crime.”
One has to wonder just how many stupid people will end up dying from this bit of insanity:
Tylenol Overdoses Spike After Trump Autism Link Announcement
I've had at least two people in my life, one a family member, one a coworker, die by liver failure in part due to overdoses of Tylenol.It has been known for a long time that overdoses of acetaminophen is toxic to the liver. Yet liberal know-nothings who hate Trump with a passion are downing huge doses of Tylenol just to prove that what he, RFK Jr. and Harvard have warned about is false. Some of them taking doses appear to be pregnant women. All I can do is pray that none of them seen in the linked videos are taking large doses.
But oh I guess I'm just "too right wing" or whatever for warning you of the consequences.
I hope that isn’t the case because these women won’t have to worry about their children having autism. They have to worry about them surviving such a stupid stunt.

Who knew that actions can have consequences? Certainly these two geniuses – sisters – are finding out the hard way that they do.
Two filthy hag Democrat sisters in their 20s are accused of vandalizing a Charlie Kirk memorial in Bentonville, Arkansas. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes, as they hags found out after they were caught on video vandalizing a Charlie Kirk memorial. They both got fired from their jobs, and are now begging for money online using GoFundMe.The two sisters have also been complaining that they’ve been harassed for their vandalism. One of them, the older of the two, has also been evicted from her home.
This may sound a bit heartless, but they haven’t received a fraction of the embarrassment and verbal abuse they deserve.
And the hits keep on coming…

As a closing, I want to mention that yesterday the WP Mom and I met the younger WP Sister and WP Niece in Manchester for lunch. It was a bittersweet get-together as my niece is heading overseas – northern Europe – for two years, working at her employer’s HQ to upgrade her skills and knowledge about her employer’s products and services. She departs on Tuesday.
I know she’s a little nervous about this, but I reminded her that she’s broadening her horizons and will gain a different perspective about all kinds of things.
While she does plan to return home for Christmas, her visits home will be few and far between.

And that’s the news from Lake Winnipesaukee, where it’s still nice and warm, there’s no rain in the immediate forecast, and where Monday is returning again to “harsh our mellow”.
