  1. Little Food Porn on this beautiful day in Virginia. 20oz Rib-Eye at Texas Roadhouse Full rack of Ribs Stopped at Home Depot to pick up some Ground Cover Phlox for our Memorial Garden in the Back Yard.
  2. We sent all that rain up your way. Rained about 3 inches here the last 2 days. Time to mow again here for about the 6th time this year. Grass is really nice and GREEN ! Have 3 new blades on the Mower, make s a huge difference how nice it looks after mowing.
  3. Is there a polite way to tell the OP this news has been posted before? Guess not. Have yet to see one.
  4. I think it is staged rain............rained just like that on our final lock also when we did the Panama Canal Cruise. We were going the opposite way though West to East.
  5. Would love to see any pictures online of when they were digging out the new locks before opening them up to water. Wonder if there is anywhere. That would be amazing to see. The equipment they used compared to how they dug out the old locks would be a major, major difference.
  6. When going through during a storm when it's very windy those tall lights sway so much they almost hit the ships going through. Saw that when we went through the Canal many years ago.
  7. UT OH is it my phone or an issue there but last 5 posts the pictures did not post. Edit: ok now I see them
  8. Later in the afternoon on the later locks there will be plenty of rail space on the bow as many will get tired from long day and heat.
  9. So are you moving or just sitting out in the open water. That's was what I was asking.
  10. Since you are so close to the Canal right now, what does the ship do tonight? Are you just sitting anchored somewhere close just waiting for your time in the morning?
  11. I was expecting someone rowing the canoe.....then I see the outboard motors on the back......lol I bet it gets interesting on high profile vessels going through the new locks during strong winds. Could you see if any of the walls in the new canal were scraped up on look like they have been hit a few times?
  12. I would call myself, shouldn't take long.
  13. Interesting as to what those 3 bodies of water next to the new locks do as far as opening and closing the locks, faster I would guess. Correct.
  14. John going for a free cruise? How many more signups does he need?😉
