Meeting Location
- Do I need to book tickets in advance?
- While we can sometimes accommodate last minute sign-ups, we highly recommend purchasing your tickets in advance in order to guarantee your space. Book online or over the phone using a Visa, Mastercard or American Express.
- The forecast says 30% chance of rain, will it rain on my sail?
- This is a common summer forecast in this area. The majority of time we will see little or no precipitation. We watch the weather radar carefully and will cancel in the event of extended periods of heavy rain. However, we will sail in light rain or showers.
- What happens if there is bad weather?
- If Traverse Tall Ship Co. cancels because of bad weather (thunderstorms, heavy rain for extended periods etc.) you may reschedule your sail or receive a full refund.
- What is your cancellation policy?
- Once purchased, tickets cannot be refunded. You may reschedule your tickets (subject to availability) only if you do so at least 24 hours in advance.
- What should I bring with me?
- Since this cruise is in the evening, we would recommend dressing appropriately for the colder temperatures. Be sure to bring your government issued ID. All participants are required to have ID since this is a 21+ event. Please leave beverages and coolers ashore.
- What should I wear?
- Even at the height of summer it's usually cooler on the water. We recommend having a jacket or sweater with you. All passengers should wear rubber soft-soled sneakers/tennis shoes or sandals. No high-heels please!
- Is there an age limit for this sail?
- There is not an age limit for the sail, however, in order to participate in the wine tasting, you must be at least 21 years of age with a government issued ID. Keep in mind, however, there is no reduced rate for children and everyone will need a full price ticket.
- Is your sailboat safe?
- Manitou meets or exceeds all U. S. Coast Guard regulations for construction, stability, safety equipment, and electronics for vessels in passenger service. The U. S. Coast Guard licensed captain has many years of experience and you can rest assured of being in good hands.
- Will I get seasick?
- You are unlikely to get seasick. Manitou's size and construction generally translate into an easy motion. In addition, our sailing grounds in Grand Traverse Bay are well protected from most wind directions.
- Is there a bathroom on the boat?
- Yes, the boat is equipped with two bathrooms that are accessible at all times. We call them "marine heads" and they are unlike the bathrooms you use at home. Using a marine head involves pumping, and there are simple directions posted in the bathroom on how to use it.
- Is the ship handicap accessible?
- Manitou is handicap accessible, although we cannot accommodate battery powered wheelchairs due to the excessive weight. We do have a manual wheelchair on the premises. There are two steps at either end of our boarding ramp. The crew is quite adept at lifting you over these two minor obstacles.

- Yes, the Summer Wine Tasting Cruise includes delicious Mediterranean cuisine provided by Silver Swan Homemade Foods. The flavors will surely complement the wines we will be tasting. Additional alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and snacks can be purchased on board.
- What type of food will be served?
- Silver Swan Homemade Foods will specially cater Mediterranean cuisine that best suits the flavors of the wine of the day. The menu varies, but includes delicious items such as: baked brie with raspberry melba, stuffed grape leaves, baba ganoush, and lemon bars.
- What if I have dietary restrictions?
- Please let us know if you have any dietary restrictions in advance and we'll do our best to accommodate you.
- Can I bring my own food and drinks?
- You may bring your own food, but space considerations do not allow coolers to be brought aboard Manitou. However, be aware that a ticket for this cruise does include food and wine tasting. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks may be purchased by cash or credit card. Please refrain from bringing beverages with you. It is illegal to bring alcoholic beverages aboard Manitou.
- What sort of wine will be available on board?
- On Tuesday evenings we will be sampling wines from Leelanau Cellars. Leelanau Cellars offers a variety of wines from the season Summer Sunset semi-dry blush wine to their Great Lakes Red. On Thursday evenings we will be tasting wines from Left Foot Charley urban winery. While the selection will be varied, Left Foot Charley specializes in white wine varietals, hard cider, and sparkling wine.
- How many glasses of wine are included in the ticket price?
- We will sample four to five wines in standard tasting pours.
- Do you accept both cash and credit cards on board?
- Yes, we accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover or cash on board.

Traverse Tall Ship Company
Current owners, Capt. Dave and Mary McGinnis, first became involved with the company when Dave was hired to command the newly acquired schooner Manitou back in 1990. They assumed the mantle in 2004 and haven't looked back. Manitou's 2 hour sails (many of them themed), bed & breakfast packages, and multi-day windjammer cruises offer a wide variety of popular choices.
After several years, Dave and Mary felt it was time to offer a more intimate and customized sailing option for those folks who might not want to be in a large group setting. So in June 2013 Sailing Yacht Scout joined the Tall Ship family, to great accolades from all who sailed aboard her! The 38 ft. Scout is ideal for a private group of six or fewer guests. Because you are reserving the entire boat we can work with you to design the ideal experience!
Traverse Tall Ship Co. is proud to have received a "Certificate of Excellence" from TripAdvisor. Our vessels meet the rigorous standards of the US Coast Guard and State of Michigan and our licensed captains and crew act with the highest degree of professionalism.
"Awesome, so much fun. Great crew!!!! Enjoyed the sail immensely!" – Sammie O.
We look forward to sailing with you!

Owner Kathy Sok said the all-natural, non-toxic products her crews use, along with machines that consume 50 percent to 70 percent less solution and reduce the amount of water needed to clean surfaces, make up a large portion of how her company has become green over the past decade. "It's not just about the chemicals, and it's not just about the machine," she said. "It's about the complete system."

The Seagate Hotel & Spa
Delray Beach, FloridaEnter your email address and zip code for pricing and availability
Why Stay At The Seagate Hotel & Spa
On a pristine stretch of Delray Beach, Seagate's impeccable, modern spaces and over-the-top spa make it one of the best places to unwind in the South Florida sunshine.
The Scoop
The new Seagate Hotel & Spa feels like the type of grand hideaway you'd expect to find in the South of France...except it's set on happening Delray Beach, FL, a lively resort neighborhood where families stroll the streets barefoot, and khaki-clad visitors—from wintering East Coast snowbirds to sun-kissed Floridians in the summer months—split their time between the beach and the locally run stores on Atlantic Avenue. Beach-chic abounds at the property; the two pools are often filled with jet-setters and stylish weekenders (all of whom stop into the hotel's Aqua Resortwear boutique for its well-edited selection of brands like Tory Burch and Burberry), and the private beach club serves up gazpacho and irresistible sweet potato fries to couples and families with ocean-loving kids. Come evening, the club offers a formal, jackets-only dinner service complete with an ocean view in its upstairs dining room, known for its veal chop. And, after a day in the sun, you can cool down with an evening aloe vera treatment at the property's 8,000-square-foot spa.
Insider Tips
Take time for a signature Atlantic Glow Body Experience treatment, which uses virgin coconut oil and sugarcane as a natural exfoliant, on a weekday morning when the spa is less crowded.
Spend an afternoon at the Seagate Beach Club, where you can rent scuba gear and snorkels...and, if needed, get private lessons on how to use them.
Preferred Airport
Arrive at Palm Beach International Airport (PBI), which is approximately 20 miles (30 minutes) from the hotel.1000 East Atlantic Avenue, Delray Beach, Florida, United States

[ Retro Scan of the Week ] Memotech ZX81 ModulesMonday, November 3rd, 2014
The Sinclair ZX81 (marketed in non-kit form as the Timex-Sinclair 1000 in the US) was a tiny computer with a tiny price and tiny capabilities.
It was possible, however, to make up for some of those shortcomings with a wide array of plug-in peripheral modules from Memotech, seen here in this ad from 1983. Furthermore, by piggybacking one module onto the next, it was possible to create an even more capable — and far longer — ZX81.
I wish I had some of these Memotech modules to mess around with. All I have is the bulbous Timex-Sinclair 16K RAM Module. Time to check eBay.

[ Retro Scan of the Week ] The Epson QX-10Monday, October 6th, 2014
A fellow donated an Epson QX-10 to my collection some years ago, but I have never run it because I lack the proper monitor cable. This fascinating machine ran the CP/M operating system and came with a full suite of office-centric software tools, called VALDOCS, wrapped in a semi-graphical user interface layer that ran on top of its host OS.
As far as I've noticed from my QX-10, one of the coolest things about it is that it has specially engineered low-profile 5.25″ floppy drives. That was a unique thing to have in 1983, and it made the QX-10′s case very dense and compact.
Discussion Topic of the Week: What do you think the world world be like if CP/M, rather than MS DOS (PC DOS), shipped on the IBM PC in 1981?
The Warning Signs of Computer Dad SyndromeTuesday, September 23rd, 2014
During the 1980s, a debilitating disease broke out among white middle-class nuclear families across the United States. Fathers everywhere were seen awkwardly encouraging their children during regular activities — often while playing video games or using personal computers.
Thirty years later, doctors have finally identified this malady as Computer Dad Syndrome (or "CDS" for short), which manifests itself in spontaneous episodes of uncomfortably becoming someone's dad for the duration of a photography shoot.
Diagnosis of this condition is contingent upon the appearance of three or more of the following symptoms.

[ Retro Scan of the Week ] iMac G4 MemoriesMonday, September 8th, 2014
On the eve of a potentially large and impactful reveal of new Apple products, I thought it an opportune time to take a look back at this now-12-year-old debut advertisement for the iMac G4. And to wax nostalgic about Apple product events.
The ad itself is clean, white, minimalistic, and so modern-feeling that I think it would work very well, unchanged, as a print advertisement today.
As for Apple product launches, I've been closely following them since the debut of the original iMac in 1998. (As an aside, I remember telling my dad to buy Apple's stock when it was $14 a share in late 1997 — not long after Steve Jobs had returned to the company — and he scoffed at me.)
For the next five years after that first iMac launch, the excitement of unexpected new Apple products seemed to build relentlessly, each one seemingly trumping the last. There was the Power Mac G3 (blue and white), the iBook, the Power Mac G4 Cube, then, of course, the iPod (although nobody really knew what a big deal the iPod was at the time).
Then came the iMac G4, and I had to have one. Prior to that, I had last used a new Mac in 1987-88 with the Macintosh SE, but our family had been Windows-centric since then (today I use OS X, Windows, and Linux almost equally). After much pestering, I convinced my dad to loan me the cash to buy the high-end iMac G4 model with the 800 MHz CPU and the DVD-burning SuperDrive.
Unlike any machine before or since, it felt like I was buying a complete computing experience. Coupled with a newly revised version of OS X (10.1, I believe), it felt like a new era of computing was upon us. Keep in mind I was coming from the "must reinstall every year, crashes every 10 minutes" world of Windows 98.
The iMac G4 design turned heads; its release was truly a watershed event in Mac history that brought a lot of "switchers" from the Windows world. I showed that thing off to everyone, taking it into my dad's office to demonstrate it to folks there, and I even invited my mailman (a confessed Mac fan, as I had learned from prior conversations) to come inside one day while he was dropping off a package to try it out.
I used that iMac daily for email, iChat, photo management, and web browsing until around 2006 when the already overtaxed machine couldn't keep up with modern websites. Today, it sits proudly on a desk in my office, ready to be called to duty for whatever PowerPC-era Mac task I might throw at it.
By the way, if you're interested in learning more about the iMac G4, I wrote an article about the machine — one of my personal favorites — for Macworld back in 2012.
Discussion Topic of the Week: What new Apple product were you most excited about when you first heard of it?
Andrew Kay (1919-2014)Thursday, September 4th, 2014
The Kaypro II (1982), sold by Andrew Kay's company, was one of the earliest vintage computers I added to my collection (and my first CP/M machine) way back in the early 1990s. Its high-quality components, including its sturdy metal case, its integrated serial and parallel ports, its full-sized keyboard, and its sharp 9-inch green-screen monitor made it a joy to use. And man, it had an 80-column display, which made it a competent word processing machine even in 1994.
With everything integrated, the Kaypro II was a truly plug-and-play machine at a time when other systems required hooking up chains of various peripherals to get things done. With the KayPro II, you folded down the keyboard, plugged it into an outlet, inserted a disk, and flipped it on. It was an island oasis in a sea of endless computer cords.
Andrew Kay's achievements were great (among his other works, he invented the digital voltmeter in 1952). He will be missed.
[ Retro Scan of the Week ] Space BucksMonday, September 1st, 2014
I've never played Sierra's Space Bucks, but it looks like a fascinating strategy game. I was a big fan of SunDog: Frozen Legacy on the Atari ST, so I'm a sucker for any game that shows the inside of your spaceship from a top-down view (even if only in a non-functional splash screen). Has anyone out there played it?
(As an aside, when I started this blog in 2005, I could just say "I've never played this game, does anyone out there know anything about it?" And get away with it. That's because very little game info was out there; Wikipedia had very few video and computer game entries — especially obscure ones — and MobyGames was incomplete. Now I have no excuse for not looking it up myself. And what do you know: here's a Wikipedia entry on Space Bucks, first created in 2012.)
I have this feeling that most Windows games from the 1995 era slipped through the cracks and were mostly forgotten. It's my impression that not many people played early games created for Windows 95 and late-period games made for Windows 3.11. Maybe it's because the IBM PC world was in the middle of a big transition from MS-DOS / Win 3.11 to Windows 95. I remember still buying MS-DOS games well into 1997, for example.
Discussion Topic of the Week: What was the earliest game you bought that ran exclusively on Windows 95/98?
[ Retro Scan of the Week ] Aplus 3000 Apple II CloneMonday, August 25th, 2014
The IBM PC wasn't the only American microcomputer that got cloned in the 1980s. The Apple II also inspired its fair share of software-compatible copycats, such as the Aplus 3000 system seen here.
This appears to be a grey market VTech Laser 3000 computer with the name plate removed — possibly to avoid any trade import bans on Apple II clones that may have existed at the time.
Clones like this were popular in certain underground circles, and for good reason. Take a look at the price list in the ad. The Aplus 3000 retailed for US $499 (about $1,104 today when adjusted for inflation) verses $1745 for a bona fide Apple IIe (about $3,863 today). And on top of that, the Aplus 3000 contained integrated peripheral cards that would cost thousands of extra dollars if purchased separately for use in a real Apple IIe.
As I've mentioned before, peripheral integration was a great way to undercut official products. It happened quite a bit in the IBM PC universe.
Discussion Topic of the Week: If you could buy an unauthorized clone of an iPad or iPhone that ran iOS and had better specs for less price, would you do it?

[ Retro Scan of the Week ] The Micron MillenniaMonday, August 11th, 2014
What could $6,410.55 buy you 19 years ago? (That's $4099 adjusted for inflation.) Well, if you picked a Micron Millennia, you could get a 120 MHz Pentium CPU, 32 MB of RAM, a 1.6 GB hard drive, a 17-inch monitor, a 4X CD-ROM Drive, a SoundBlaster 16 sound card, 2MB 2D graphics card, a minitower or desktop case, a Microsoft mouse and keyboard, Microsoft Office, and Windows 95.
That's a lot of stuff. And yet most people's smartphones today pack far, far more power and functionality than that in a pocket form factor with a 10 hour battery life. It's all about integration, baby. More functions in fewer, smaller chips. I love it.
Discussion Topic of the Week: Tell us about one of your beige box PCs from the 1990s. Who made it, and what did it have inside?

David Allen was really great. He helped us sell our home and find a new home. He was always available when we need to talk to him and he always had very insightful information about the market. I would most definitely recommend him to my friends and family. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him. He has a great personality and very easy to work with. He made the process very easy and we sold our home in two months and closed on our new home the same time our old home had sold. This would not have been easy without David's help. More Less
Thank you Amanda! It was a bit of a roller coaster ride at times, but it all came together in the end! Thanks so much to you Steve for choosing me as your Realtor. I am so happy that you had a positive experience. I make great efforts make myself available when my clients are available and to answer all questions/concerns as thoroughly as possible. We definitely found you your dream home! Very excited for you both and I look forward to assisting any friends/family that you may send my way!

Gang Starr
Gang Starr makes hip hop that breaks down boundaries. On their two previous albums the Brooklyn duo helped forge the now-trendy relationship between rap and jazz. On Hard to Earn they put aside those smoky vibes and turn up the heat with rugged, street-savvy hip hop that's as hardcore as any posturing gangsta record.
What Guru lacks in ingenious rhymes he makes up for in sullen intensity. DJ Premier supplies uncluttered, tight grooves that avoid clichéd beats. Despite serious underground support, a growing rep as one of hip hop's best production teams and great reviews, Gang Starr have never been seen as true stars. Hard to Earn is their chance to seize their rightful place in hip hop's hierarchy. (Chrysalis)

About Owner
This is our future retirement home and we can't wait to be here full time. We have enjoyed the Lewes/Rehoboth Beach area for the last four decades with family and friends and are happy to now own a house here. We currently live and work in the Lehigh Valley Area of Pennsylvania and visit as much as we can to enjoy the beach and the peaceful setting of our home.
Owner purchased this house in 2012
Why Owner chose Lewes
We love the closeness to the beach, restaurants and shopping but love to come back to our serene setting on Love Creek.
What makes this house unique
When we were looking for our retirement home we fell in love with the mature trees, the private location, the sunsets over Love Creek and the amazing home.
There is nothing like sitting on the flagstone patio in the morning to greet the day and watch the birds come to visit the feeders and watch the ospreys fly over Love Creek. And then at the end of a busy day at the beach or sightseeing to come back, sit out on the patio and watch the sunset. And because there are no distracting lights, the stars at night are incredible.
Guestbook comments from the owner
You have a beautiful home – we especially enjoyed the birds being the only "life" noise of the week! Thank you for sharing your home.

Sep 20, 2013The actors are good, the writing is terrible. The jokes are lame, the laugh track is lame, the premise is lame. The characters are void of any personality. This show should be studied and examined thoroughly for any aspiring writer as an example of what not to do.
Sep 17, 2013I think the potential is there for a solid sitcom but the trailers really ruined the pilot episode for me. They spoiled quite a few funny moments and made the pilot a bit predictable. Still, I'd give be willing to give it a few more episodes because it doesn't seem that bad of a show.
Sep 18, 2013God awful. Yet another example of the cast outpacing the writing. If Fox saw fit to cancel Arrested Development, this series has no chance. Why Seth Green, who has spent a good portion of his career lampooning lame shows like this, would sign on to something so bad boggles the mind.
Sep 21, 2013I thought it was funny. There was very good chemistry between the actors. There may not be a lot of places the show can go but it was much funnier than the media is saying.
Sep 18, 2013I love Family Guy and American Dad and thought this had a good shot since Ted was so enjoyable. But, no. It wasn't funny, was poorly written, and even the very talented cast couldn't make it work.
Sep 19, 2013I wound up watching this in passing, mostly because of Seth Green and Martin Mull. The reality is that the trailers really do hit it on the head that most sitcoms don't make it past episode one. My hope is that Green's ability to write comedy and put really good funny into real life situations (racist parents who don't believe they're really THAT racist, kids who more or less have to deal with their own parents' bad decisions and awkwardness, and combine it with a razor-thin edge of a software startup environment) will come out in future episodes.
That said, for twenty-two minutes of plot exposition, Dads managed to eke out a "yeah, okay" spot on the DVR for me.
Keeping in mind that most anything with a laugh track or some kind of documentary-style "The Office" show tends to annoy the hell out of me, I'm not rolling too high on the hopes, but I'm definitely thinking if you have no ability to be patient enough for a single episode, you probably just hope Green goes back to doing show after show after show of "Robot Chicken" and fart jokes.… Expand
Sep 25, 2013Effing awful! I thought for a minute the audience was being pranked. Not one laugh worthy joke and it only got worse as the rest of the cast went through their painful expo. Wow, ridiculously poorly written.
Sep 17, 2013Seth MacFarlane was doing great. Ted, Family Guy, American Dad, Cleveland Show. Then Dads came a long, and nearly destroys all that hard work. Thankfully, we'll all forgot about this disappointing show
Sep 21, 2013I think this show is hilarious. It was the first episode give it a break. It was funny. I can't wait for the next episode. The concept is different and the actors are good.
Oct 1, 2013It has been 3 episodes so far and I have to say that despite some noticeable flaws I am enjoying "Dads". It does have some jokes that fall short or are racist and not funny, a completely awful intro/theme song, and an overall cheap sitcom feel, but so far the number of moments that provide genuine laughs have kept me coming back. Its issues do decrease the overall quality of the show but I still find myself laughing enough to recommend it to the right crowd. So if you're a fan of the fantastic cast and don't mind immature humor than I recommend this show. I know it gets me laughing.
*Like I said earlier in the review the show has only aired 3 episodes so far, so as more episodes air if I feel like the show is getting better or worse I will update my review and score to reflect that. Until then consider this my definitive review.*… Expand
Sep 26, 2013TOTALLLLY INAPPROPRIAT FOR THE TIME-SLOT----DEFINITELY NOT FUNNY,TERRIBLE LANGUAGE,DRUG USAGE PROMOTED AND ANNOYING CANNED LAUGHTER...WE HAVE ENOUGH PROBLEMS WITH ILLEGAL DRUGS IN THIS COUNTRY ---WE DO NOT NEED A TV SHOW PROMOTING THIS AS COMICAL,ACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR----SHAME ON EVERYONE INVOLVED WITH THIS ATTTTTROCITY---WHERE ARE YOUR MORAL VALUES?????
Oct 8, 2013Dads does have a few moments that are actually funny even if some of them are in more of a 'so bad its good' way but overall the misses outnumber the hits. It's not worth staying for the good bits since the ratings are so bad it will probably soon be gone.
Oct 3, 2013Well, I don't get why the 2 lead characters are having exactly the same issues with their own dads. The concept could be interesting, but it's something like you already have seen before!
Oct 8, 2013Lame, unfunny and kind of racist. I love Seth McFarlane, from Family Guy and Ted. Big fan of Seth Green again in Family Guy, Robot Chicken and other works, bit this....this...??? Seriously? It made me want to pull out my eyeballs and scoop out my brain with a melon baller through the eye socket.
Oct 15, 2013I have really enjoyed this show. It started out rough but after four episodes its picked up steam and is hilarious!! I really enjoy the superb cast. Great Show!!!
Oct 24, 2013This show is hilarious the differences of the relationships of fathers and sons is comical and true to life i would think and makes you laugh so hard that i don't advise eating while watching it especially if your alone. You are in for a comical treat!
Jan 1, 2014I think this show is great. I laugh out loud EVERY episode! Giovani Ribisi is so funny, and if you don't like Seth Green, there's just something wrong with you.
Apr 26, 2014This is perfectly watchable. I wondered why they pushed it to 1.50am in the UK on ITV2 so I came here. Turns out either there is a campaign against the show on here and in the press or I enjoy this show and am in the minority. It's pretty good, I mean what kind of rating does 2 and a half men have these days? This is basically that.
Mar 5, 2014i'm actually quite enjoying this show, i find the jokes in it to be quite funny and i see potential in its future. I want to be a game developer one day as well so i find the characters to be relatable. I just hope that investors see the show the same way that i do, id love to see more of this show.
Nov 26, 2013This show is terrible. It is a shame that these actors have stooped to this level. Jokes are so dumb, and not funny at all. Stupidest show ever. Kill it!
Dec 12, 2013Really hard to watch. Funny that the show caused such a stir for "offending" people. Feels like that just feeds the flame and probably tempts the network to pigeon-hole the show for people who see that as a good thing. It's probably capable of more.
Jan 21, 2014Love this show, it's crude and rough around the edges BUT what comedy's first season isn't? So many haters on here, it's sad really. Maybe it's hatred towards Ribisi being a scientologist?
Jan 25, 2014This show is amazingly funny and perhaps funny for a smaller audience. I think people who dislike the show have issues seeing a show where there are 2 successful male in their 30s. The show is funny and healthy for many males to see a different aspect to comedy around male figures. Much better then everybody loves raymond and kings of queens which both makes men look like complete idiots. So this show is better written and planned to make a better attempt to make a comedy around two succesfull male characters rathern then making stupid fart, drinking and idiot jokes about men.… Expand
Feb 5, 2014As a dad I love watching this with my kids. The lines are funny and the dads might be goofy but most of what they say is so true! We are hoping this show would be renewed for 2015!
Apr 2, 2014yeah dads are a pain in ass i enjoyed the first episode . now its just old . comedy still terrible and its just old i rather watch Seth Greens Robot chicken .
Grade F
Mar 19, 2014I thought this was the funniest show on Television! It was a feel good show without too much smut. I pray it will be renewed. I told everyone I knew to watch and then it was gone.
Apr 19, 2014It's very funny. Of course it's not perfect, but it's funny, which is the point. It's like an episode of Family Guy, but has more restrictions since it's not animated.
Apr 25, 2014THIS is a show that should stay. YES- it's a little off color at times. But how many years has it been OK to make make White Males- especially Fathers look stupid?? So this show comes along and pokes fun at some other races at times- and OMG- PULL THE PLUG!!!! The writing is sharp- and the acting and cast are SPOT-ON!! How the heck is 2 Broke Girls still on? Or Mike and Molly? The acting on those shows- esp 2 Broke Girls is HORRIBLE! 2 and a Half Men- I cringe when I think of the bumbling idiot of Ashton Kutcher (not much of a stretch as an actor) trying to replace Charlie Sheen. I hope Dads stays!!… Expand
May 2, 2014This is a fun show that is not for kids or easily offended adults. The shows don't end with a major problem solved or a life lesson that you are supposed to learn from the story. It is just meant to give you some laughs at characters that remind you of people you know in your life. I find it funnier that "critics" are bombing this show with their reviews. Hank Stuever who writes for the Washington Post tanked this show in his review. If you find this show offensive or crude then don't read The Washington Post. I almost bought a bird just so I could put The Post at the bottom of the cage for the bird to crap on. Hopefully the bird would have good aim and give Ole Hank's reviews the reception they deserve. Looking at that guy you would think he would be a tv critic I would imagine he doesn't have much else going on other than TV. Glen Garcin from the Miami Herald blew it out of the water as well. But Glen is from Miami and this isn't the first thing he's blown. Maureen Ryan from the Huffington Post piled on this show also. The Huffington Post.... Yup. Terrific to hear from "Mo"... Her all time favorite show as Battlestar Galactica. That makes me want to punch kittens. I have never met anyone that watched an episode of Battlestar Galactica and we have this as a "critic"? Dads is a funny show that allows you to enjoy selfish adult humor for 30 minutes.… Expand
Oct 22, 2014At first it was a little bit weak but then it got stronger and stronger and now I love it.
Martin Mull is my fav (He reminds me a bit of Trigger from Only Fools and Horses from over here in the UK).
The writing on Dads is so straight-up horrendous that one wouldn't be surprised to see it in the middle of a "Family Guy" episode as an attempt by MacFarlane to satirize bad sitcom writing.
With such a superior comedy cast, it's deplorable how far this badly written and directed show has dragged them down.
Creatively speaking, Dads comes off as if it were a much-resented homework assignment for all involved.

Suggestions for a fuel pump?

Well, it seems that racor fg 500 filters require 60 GPH flow to separate particulate and water properly. I don't know what engine pushes 60 gallons of fuel past the injectors per hour, certainly not mine. (perkins 4 - 108) (i doubt it would be 1 gallon) Therefore I need an electric fuel pump to polish my fuel while the motor is running. Fuel pumps can deliver this kind of flow, (60 gph, 5psi) and you polish your fuel through the dual racors. I change filters regularily and have a vacuum guage on each low pressure side of racor. When it starts drawing -12hg, it's filter time... I have 2 tanks that are selected by one 6 way valve that is either tank 1, tank 2, or off. The only other valve to open or close is a relief valve (WOG ball valve) from the pressure side of the system into the return line of the tanks (2 - 75 gal). The system is as simple as it can be made, while being able to polish both tanks. If I were to add some valves, I would add the ability to transfer from tank to tank. Till then I will just switch the hose
So I would like to know what kinda pump you think I should throw in it?
Why, why, why?

Nick Young took his rapper girlfriend to Target for their first date
This story is from last week, but it's one of those things that I feel like you need to know. Simply put, on his very first date with international rap sort-of-star Iggy Azalea, Nick Young went to Target before heading to dinner, just to walk around. They went because she asked, which is always a good reason to do something on a date, if you're really trying to woo the asker.
And speaking of wooing the asker, here is a partial list of things I would buy from Target to show Iggy Azalea what I am in to and how swaggy I am.
– Plain grey hooded sweatshirt.
– Bag of Sour Patch Kids.
– Bag of Lemonheads.
– King size sleeve of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
– Commemorative box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
– Two gallon jug of skim milk.
– Bag of Archer Farms brand Black and White trail mix.
– DVD copy of "The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug."
– 2L bottle of Diet Coke.
– 20 oz. bottle of Diet Coke (for the drive home).
– WoodWick candle, fireside scented.
I don't know if that's the kind of shopping list that would get me a second date with a rapper, but it's pretty accurate since I'm a chill bro who likes to keep things cozy but hasn't seen the second "Hobbit" yet because it was released during the NBA season. Though I guess she's right — you can tell a lot about a person by what they purchase at Target. Everyone should take their first dates there.
