I ride so hard for their first five albums. The sixth is pretty dang solid and it gets a little spottier from there, but they still can cook up the occasional banger.

I did a little app for the boat using htmx and websockets. It didn’t suck. I only do “frontend” work about once a year and seems like I have to relearn it all over again.

Double reefed and 80% jib. Top speed was just over 9 knots. Was planning on a lazy sail, but gusts were more than expected.

It always seems the folks who anchor way too close are also the same ones who have a clanging halyard and a portable generator on deck.

My biggest complaint of the new Whitechapel album is it’s just unrelenting. No time to catch your breath. A full album of deathcore turned up to 11. You kinda get numb to it.

A quick after work sail turned a bit stressful: one of the lazy jacks broke and the jib furler jammed up at the same time.
