Forbes, The 10 best U.S. cities for singles:
Still single? Maybe you should move. Here are the top hot spots if you’re looking for love — or at least someone to like.
Seattle is #7 with the following scores:
Seattle people hate any change in the weather. In the winter they complain when it’s rainy, while I rejoice in the fresh snow in the mountains and during the summer they complain about the heat, while I rejoice in the warm water. So sure it’s been 90′F+ and you don’t have A/C (neither do I) but yesterday evening around 7pm Lake Washington was around 76′F! This morning, it had ‘cooled off’ to around 72′F and by this evening at 7pm it sure felt like it was back up to 76′F (but I was lacking my trusty thermometer).
I love Seattle but hate the weather-haters.
Sailquest has a bunch of guides for used Canadian sailboats. I’d love to find something similar for American manufactured boats.
Via the BBQ Report, How long can you store meat in the freezer? Click through, for some items its not as long as you think. I know the other day I tried eating some sausages that had been in for a while and they turned out to be quite nasty.
…I’m going to need to print this out and put it on our fridge and then I’m going to have to turf all the bad food lurking in the back.
Funny post over at John Cook’s business blog, Trolling Seattle for rich guys and gals:
Want to find a rich single guy?
Don’t waste your time hanging around Medina or Mercer Island, where plenty of the men are rich but already hitched.
You’re better off trolling north Capitol Hill or downtown Kirkland — where about a third of the men are single and the average annual income is between $80,000 and $100,000.
It’s based off this map (choose ‘Single [Men|Women] availability’).
I broke my phone this weekend at Whistler so don’t text or call. Email instead. If you have an AT&T GSM phone in Seattle you could lend/sell me let me know :).
I’m on flight AC542 to Toronto August 4th. This should get me there in time for a friend’s wedding on the 5th in Hamilton, then I’m flying to Winnipeg August 6th and then will somehow get to Panorama, BC by August 14th.
Too funny, CNBC reports that Pirates of The Caribbean beat out Aquaman at the box office. But wait, isn’t Aquaman a fictional movie in HBO’s show Entourage? :)
I’m interested in selling my property at 161 Erb St W, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. If you’re interested in buying please email me at mail @ mattgoyer.com

Growing up I always loved the day we put our boat (C&C 25) in the water in the water for the first time. There was the long car ride over to Northern Harbour with a stop at Canadian Tire along the way. In later years, maybe a stop at Subway to grab some food. Then we’d have to find the boat since it invariably got moved from the location where we ended putting it away the previous fall. Once we found it we’d crack it open and start working. Without a doubt while my dad was busy working on the more technical things we the kids would have to clean and wax the bottom (first we’d have to go steal someone’s ladder since we never had our own. we also would have to haul the water from seemingly very far away). It was definitely the worst part of the day (the best part being eating licorice on the boat once it was in the water and headed to Echo Bay).
Fast forward a whole bunch of years and I’m now crewing on a serious racing boat. We even bring in top coaches to help us improve our game. Turns out one of the things the winners do is clean their boats before every race. Now since our boats are not dry docked this means that yes, someone has to go swimming. This week was our first week getting on top of this detail and I drew the short stick and spent fifteen minutes diving under the boat with a sponge and rubbing off the growth from the last two weeks (we had a week off because of July 4th). Plus it wasn’t even hot and sunny. Not a lengthy of a job as cleaning and waxing a dry docked C&C 25 but still, it’s kinda freaky being four feet underwater on a dark cloudy day :).
