the grand romance

Built by the Barker family in Fort Bragg, CA in 1990. Debut in 1993 as the Petaluma Queen in 1993 on the Petaluma River.

Relocated to Napa, then Vallejo and then Long Beach in 2021. After a history of problems and run-ins with State and local officials moved back to Norcal just north of the Cal Maritime campus.

Been sitting and rotting ever since and pretty much gutted by fire and now lies partially sunken in the Bay.

Six Days in New Orleans: Five

Originally posted November 9, 2015. After breakfast at the Deja Vu Bar and Grill we took a ride on the paddlewheel steamboat the Creole Queen to the nearby town of Chalmette to visit the site of the Battle of New Orleans, where many of my ancestors and relatives fought against the British with Andrew Jackson in 1815. Along the way, we also photographed the larger steamboat Natchez which was…

The Energy Efficiency of Aquaculture Paddle Wheel Aerators in Sustainable Aquaculture Practices

Aquaculture, as a rapidly growing industry, is constantly seeking innovative solutions to enhance productivity and sustainability. One of the critical aspects of maintaining a healthy aquatic environment is ensuring adequate oxygen levels, which is where the Aquaculture Paddle Wheel Aerator plays a pivotal role. This device is designed to increase dissolved oxygen in water bodies, thereby promoting the growth and well-being of aquatic organisms. However, with the increasing focus on energy efficiency and environmental impact, the energy consumption of Aquaculture Paddle Wheel Aerators has become a topic of significant interest.

The Aquaculture Paddle Wheel Aerator operates on a simple yet effective principle: it uses a paddle wheel to agitate the water, creating a flow that enhances the transfer of oxygen from the air into the water. This mechanical aeration method is widely used due to its efficiency and reliability. However, the energy consumption of these aerators can vary significantly based on several factors, including the size of the wheel, the speed of rotation, and the power source.

When assessing the energy efficiency of Aquaculture Paddle Wheel Aerators, it is essential to consider the power source. Traditionally, these aerators are powered by electric motors, which can consume a considerable amount of energy, especially in large-scale operations. However, with advancements in technology, there has been a shift towards more sustainable energy sources, such as solar power. Solar-powered Aquaculture Paddle Wheel Aerators can significantly reduce the overall energy consumption, making them an attractive option for environmentally conscious aquaculture operations.

The size and design of the paddle wheel also play a crucial role in determining the energy efficiency of Aquaculture Paddle Wheel Aerators. Larger wheels can cover a greater surface area and may require more energy to rotate, but they can also provide more efficient oxygenation. On the other hand, smaller wheels may consume less energy but may not be as effective in oxygenating the water. Therefore, finding the right balance between size and energy consumption is crucial for optimizing the performance of these aerators.

The speed at which the paddle wheel rotates is another factor that influences the energy consumption of Aquaculture Paddle Wheel Aerators. Higher speeds can cause increased oxygenation but also result in higher energy use. Conversely, lower speeds may reduce energy consumption but may not provide the necessary oxygen levels, especially in high-density aquaculture systems. Therefore, it is essential to find a suitable speed that balances oxygenation needs with energy efficiency.

In addition to these factors, the environmental conditions in which the Aquaculture Paddle Wheel Aerator operates can also impact its energy consumption. For instance, water temperature, salinity, and the presence of other dissolved substances can affect the efficiency of oxygen transfer. In such cases, the aerator may need to work harder to maintain adequate oxygen levels, causing increased energy consumption.

To further enhance the energy efficiency of Aquaculture Paddle Wheel Aerators, manufacturers are exploring various technological advancements. These include the use of more efficient motors, improved materials for the paddle wheels, and smart control systems that can adjust the speed of the aerator based on real-time oxygen levels in the water. These innovations not only help in reducing energy consumption but also contribute to the overall sustainability of aquaculture operations.

In conclusion, the energy efficiency of Aquaculture Paddle Wheel Aerators is a multifaceted issue that requires a comprehensive understanding of the device's design, operation, and environmental context. By optimizing these factors and embracing technological advancements, the aquaculture industry can significantly reduce the energy consumption of these essential oxygenation tools, contributing to a more sustainable and efficient future for aquatic farming practices.

lets say i bought a connecticut ticket to eric....

and wanted to take the greyhound

do u think it would end by 10:30 for me to get back to the last greyhound of the night????

or i could take metro north back but it's more expensive than a greyhound

I felt inspired to go back into spinning thanks to the Tour de Fleece this year, even tho I have cats (but they are melting into the floor due to heat) and my hands have been hurting badly lately.

I took my spinning bag out to see my terrible halfway experiment when I was trying to learn how to draft. I tried to spin drafting. I still can't draft. I was too tired and my hands hurt too much to go back into pre-drafting. I felt bad. Put my bag away again.

It's ok. I'll try again another year :')

[pseudowho]

It was in the corridors of Jujutsu High, that Nanami Kento first learned that one of the First Years had gone missing.

Whispers of varying voice rose and fell along the wood-panelled walls as Kento walked with a growing unease. Rumours rose on both sides around him, as if in some uncanny valley.

"...off the rails..."

"...not answering calls apparently..."

"...unauthorised? Gojo's not here..."

"...gone rogue. Sukuna's vessel?"

Kento paused, outwardly unreadable as his blood ran cold, with his hand upon the doorknob. Balanced on a knife edge, he moved again, slow and considered, stepping out before closing the door behind him. His feet paddled madly beneath still water, and Kento pulled out his phone, typing fast.

His phone to his ear. A pause.

"Hi, Fushiguro-kun? Do you know where Itadori-kun is?" A pause. A single flat command. "Tell me, immediately."

Another pause; a nod, a pen and paper not required.

Kento waited until he was completely out of the line of sight, to begin running beneath Jujutsu High's tree-lined torii gates.

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

Scum.

Yuuji's red boots skid, bloodslick, and he stumbled around a corridor with his breath loud in his ears.

--execute him already--

He wasn't experienced enough for this; but he knew that when he came, hoping to earn his own goodness as proof, to those who determined his worth based on the monster he contained.

--better off dead--

And maybe I am, Yuuji thought, slammed by flailing bestial limbs into concrete, that crumpled like wet paper beneath his body. Slumping down against the wall, Yuuji accepted that the only dignity he could afford himself, would be to choose a good death for himself, as the boy he was, fighting to save lives, instead of the beast within, fighting to take them.

"Itadori-kun. Move behind me. I'll take it from here."

Yuuji looked up from the floor, slow and stunned. Kento stood before him, stony-faced as he bound his spotted tie around his fist, alight with swathes of blue fire.

"...Nanamin...I--"

"I'll scold you after. Behind me."

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

Yuuji's eyes were downcast, and chunks of rubble shook from his hair to his thighs, when Kento slammed his car door. As Kento stepped into his own seat, Yuuji caught the tail end of a conversation.

"...coming home to ours. Gojo knows. He's got it handled with the school. Yes. Alright. We won't be long."

The car rumbled to life. Yuuji's fists clenched in his lap, his face twisted with pain, guilt, the crushing weight of failure and embarrassment. Kento allowed him this, for a few minutes, driving seamlessly through the Tokyo evening traffic.

"Are you going to explain what you were doing, Itadori-kun?"

Yuuji was silent, gagged by the sheer volumes he could speak, all fighting for precedence. He heard the faintest sigh from Kento.

"Yuuji?"

Still, nothing. Kento's hands gripped the wheel a little tighter.

"I see. We shall talk after dinner."

"...you can just drop me back to the school--"

"We shall talk after dinner."

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

Your hands worried the baggy sleeves of your cardigan before you heard the front door unlock. You stopped, plastering on a smile, and walking over to greet Yuuji as the door clicked open, Kento guiding Yuuji in and shutting the door behind him.

Yuuji's eyes never left the floor to accept your smile. He was thoroughly reduced, hidden behind cloud. Your eyes flicked to Kento, sensing his fixed cool anger, and you redoubled your efforts for Yuuji.

"Busy day, huh? You hungry? I've made lots...come on."

You sat together, tense in silence. Kento ate, robotic and clipped. Yuuji pushed the food around his plate, utterly silent. Kento pressed a napkin to his mouth, lowering it and clearing his throat. He repeated himself.

'Yuuji. Are you going to explain what you were doing?"

Silence. You placed your knife and fork down, your throat thickening with impending confrontation. Yuuji squirmed in his seat as frost formed beneath Kento.

"...I just...just wanted to be useful."

"Useful?"

"...just...wanted to be better than they say I am."

"They?"

You felt Yuuji's stress climbing, racking exponentially with Kento's insistent dig for clarity. You opened your mouth to try to soften Kento's blows before Yuuji blurted.

"Anyone who matters at Jujutsu High thinks I'm scum. Thinks I'm--I'm-- no better than--than him." Yuuji snapped, gesturing to the slits of Sukuna's other eyes on his face, and shoving his plate away with a clatter. Kento bristled, the frost thickening.

"Control your temper, Yuuji--"

"Oh yeah? And why should I? I could have died a good death there-- trying to help people, if you hadn't--"

Kento slapped his napkin down on the table, moving to stand, and you felt yourself shut down beneath the gravity of his rage, knowing it was all concern, but terrifying nonetheless, and you felt the escalation as Yuuji stood, too, facing Kento with combatant teenage fury--

"And who, exactly, were you helping, Yuuji? Were you helping the sorcerers who would have come to rescue you, if I hadn't? You call that a good death, giving the higher ups exactly what they want--"

"--well they can fucking have what they want, then, can't they, nobody gives a shit about me anyway--"

"--language, Yuuji--"

"--nobody fucking cares--"

"I care."

Yuuji's face crumpled, his anger burning out hot and fast. Transitioning from man to boy again, his sleeves rubbed the rage tumbling out as tears.

Kento's chest heaved with the fever-pitch of battle. He turned on the spot, one hand on his hip and the other running through his hair, as he stared up at the ceiling, calming himself. He turned to Yuuji again.

"I care. And I need you safe. And while I cannot fathom the stress you are under, I am so disappointed with you, that you view yourself with the same ill-regard as those with such pithy, ignorant understanding."

Yuuji's hands hung limp at his sides, now, the tears falling freely. Kento rubbed one hand down over his own face, appraising Yuuji with ruffled impassivity.

"...finish your dinner."

"I'm not hungry."

A sigh, weary. "Then go and get cleaned up, and go to your room."

"I...dont have a room, here."

"You do. Third door on the left."

A heavy pause. Slow footsteps carried Yuuji away. Your head rested on steepled fingertips, your dinner churning in your stomach as you bit back nausea.

You thought of all of the words you could say to Kento, but dismissed them as soon as they came into your head; all too visceral, none of them helpful, and maturity held your tongue.

"...you get cleaned up, too. I'll tidy away dinner."

"No, no. You cooked. I'll tidy--"

"Nanami Kento. Do as you are told."

Kento was silent, stewing. Eventually, he stood, walking away down the corridor. You heard two showers, running. You left spare pyjamas in Yuuji's bedroom.

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

A gentle three knock-knock-knocks sounded at Yuuji's bedroom door, and he sat up fast in his borrowed pyjamas, wide eyes tired in a tearstained face. He sniffled.

"Y-yeah, uh...come in."

You peeked your head around the door, smiling. Yuuji offered a watery smile in return.

"Alright, kiddo?"

Yuuji swallowed thickly, nodding, resting his chin on drawn-up knees. You sat at the end of his bed, pressing a mug of hot chocolate into his hands, and he felt it balm his soul before he had even drunk it; the act of receiving it, so much more significant than its imbibement. You let him warm in the gesture for a moment.

"...he cares about you, Yuuji. A lot. You know that, right?"

Yuuji's mouth puckered, and he shrugged his rejection, churlish. You raised one eyebrow at him, a gentle, chastising challenge, and Yuuji blushed.

"...yeah, I guess. I mean...I...I know."

"You know?"

"Yeah, yeah, I do."

You smirked, eyes twinkling. "What gave it away? Was it the running to save you in battle? Or the bringing you home for dinner?"

Yuuji's mouth was obscured, buried in his knees. He paused. You didn't manage to hear the words muffled by his legs, and you tilted your head to one side.

"...sorry?"

"It was--...was when he said he was...disappointed with me."
