Public service message from your neighborhood junior puddle pirate. Wear you life jacket, cold water kills, label your padflecraft with contact info. The life you save is likely your own...it can also save the coastie who gets the call and heads into risk to save you. #USCG

@NCCAAChamps @CIURams Well played at the buzzer beater Lynn, I can tell this isn’t your first rodeo.

[Daren Lewis @veryuseful]

@BDHerzinger Aye, because…
War changes.
Understanding the enemy rather than underestimating the enemy is a good idea.
Political motives can be strategic or deeply unstrateic

@AlaskaAir beautiful flight and an amazingly livery

@donttrythis I know you love process videos and machining. Ran across CEE who works on rebuilding parts for huge equipment in Australia. Sound on or off it is fun to watch. https://t.co/bamUiLUfi5

@washcoroads any idea who owns the project on Saltzman just south of Burton? No permit or ownership signage posted and I didn’t find anything in the permit system. We are patient but the have had the sidewalk closed for over 8 weeks and no recent activity.

@nchan and @donttrythis ran across this love letter to BART. Worth a watch… and maybe a collab. Great storytelling. https://t.co/ZvszMZab98

@BadgerCult @dsundahl Does rather feel that way.

@em_is_typing Nice job. Way better than the days the wind comes up very hard and overwhelms, capsizes, and scatters them all over the place. Been there too.

@EODHappyCaptain For my part, I’ve never done a coin. I have made a ton (200+) of custom, personalized pint glasses for shipmates, friends, and work colleagues. Nice to provide something they can use everyday.

[Daren Lewis @veryuseful]

@EODHappyCaptain Well the spelling war awful - trying again. It is the one on the left. The second is a hand me down USCG bicentennial coin from an amazing mentor.

[Daren Lewis @veryuseful]

@EODHappyCaptain First coin is my favorite, a generic one from the exchange. Ensign/LTJG I worked with at then USCG Sector Portland. She is retiring this year after ~25. Sits first in line.

A reminder from your neighborhood amateur puddle pirate.

@RNLI @JimAllen999 @TowerRNLI Outstanding.

[Daren Lewis @veryuseful]

Great save here!

TW: almost drowning

Accidents can happen FAST. Game Warden Branch was checking fishing licenses on a dock when a toddler fell into 13 ft of water. Warden Branch and other adults sprang into action to save her. Please wear a life jacket and be safe around the lakes this summer!

@midwesternexile You blend in well.

[Daren Lewis @veryuseful]

@NatGeo This is simply an embarrassing article to have on your site. @ExplorersClub is grandstanding, they didn’t have the capability to deploy the assets they secured, they wanted others to do it, and that is red tape? I’m sure there were hundreds of offers for assistance.

[Daren Lewis @veryuseful]

@mercoglianos You got here by doing the work sir. Lots of nuanced analysis.

[Daren Lewis @veryuseful]

@limadeltaflies I’m really only going to make a further ass of myself if I do.
