Know your Nautical terminology
Fresnel lens
The design allows the construction of lenses of large aperture and short focal length without the mass and volume of material that would be required by a lens of conventional design. A Fresnel lens can be made much thinner than a comparable conventional lens, in some cases taking the form of a flat sheet. A Fresnel lens can capture more oblique light from a light source, thus allowing the light from a lighthouse equipped with one to be visible over greater distances. It has been called "the invention that saved a million ships."
1: Cross section of a spherical Fresnel lens 2: Cross section of a conventional spherical plano-convex lens of equivalent power
The running lights on ships are almost exclusively Fresnel lenses.

“FISH ON! FISH ON!”
...as the reel screams and line is spooling out...
That’s what we (MissWhisper & I) want to hear“
I’m jelly, like homemade plum jelly.
I hope y’all return with sore arms, full coolers of fish and that tired but refreshed feeling that only comes from a day on the water.
Just remember, some volunteer, some are sucked in. But still, #NoHomo.
Thanks, MQD, for the new thread!
When I was in high school, some friends and I were in the boys’ restroom trying to see who could pee the highest up the wall. In walks the vice principal, takes one look and hits the ceiling.
A nice valley picture last night!
:)
Thanks. That made me spit out a whole mouthful of hot tea.
I was looking back and this mathematician started posting the work on reverse engineering the
algorithm on December 5. I think it was about mid December when I found it, and that when I
was pretty sure the election fraud wasn’t going to stand. Here’s all his post on rumble;

And you might have observed about 4 years ago I almost completely quit posting and just caught
up once in a while because I wanted to enjoy life without worrying about politics. And then
the election fraud got my attention. So for the last month and a half I have been almost
constantly spending my free time engaged in figuring out what happened and why isn’t the
results being corrected.
I think when Millennial Millie put out her video and I realized the whole election was
probably a sting operation, that’s when I was more sure of the correction was going to be done
by President Trump while he was still in office if all else failed, and all else failed. Then
we heard mention of the military is the only way out, and on the 20th Biden is swore in, and
then I finally got to see it on TV and looking at that big book of a bible, I thought, this is
funny there is something else going on.
And now all the ‘enjoy the show’ details are coming to light and it’s obvious we are awaiting
a OIC, Officer in Charge, to give a briefing on just what is going on. I plan to fade to
festival and go back to enjoying my peasant life for the most part. I do take big comfort in
that we are a large group of Patriots that can be counted on to pursue the truth and make
things right, Thank Q All!

Thank you for link to Martin Geddes. He said this over there:
“If you really want to annoy the trolls, offer hope.
If you really really want to annoy the trolls, offer hope and joy.
If you really really really want to annoy the trolls, offer hope, joy, and beauty.“
Between lifting each other out of occasional morosity, posting funny animal vignettes, memes and beautiful scenes, we do this here, and the trolls are annoyed because they can’t shake our faith in the plan.
I get such a pang when I see any photo of Trump the Titan.
I miss having him talk to us almost every day.
What a man!
I’m wondering if the entire country is feeling that drop in communication.
Well, I’ve never before been so far behind in a thread. Both my main electric furnace and propane back-up furnace when bottoms up with-in an hour of each other.
Temps dipping to a -5 degrees and trying to get them working along with parts issues, keeps one busy. Jan. 20th into the 23rd are a stressed out blur. I’d only check-in when I stopped to eat.
On to speed reading practice again. I hope I don’t miss much.
Oh, I actually slept last night for the first time in days.
Thanks for the new Q thread Ransomnote. I’ll get to it as soon as I can. Might sneak a peek here, on occasion.
Wild guess. Vatican vault.
If true.. Italy succumbed (in guilt) to The Artist of the Deal, who exchanged and collected the derps & perps $350,000,000,000.00, to keep their government intact, following the Leonardo Steal.
Old news, I know. Never mind the source.
