As we get ready to make our trip north, we sit here in the cool boat watching Fox news and Glen Beck. Unless we all wake up we will be having violence in the streets like Greece . Hope it can wait till we get back down here. Could not afford to live up there on my disability check. Not sure what will happen when the bottom falls out and the the dollar tanks. Those of you that voted for change...well you got it now.
Joyce seems to have us fairly organized, we get the cat's .....she is no longer a kitten.....papers tomorrow, finish up a few delicacies left in the freezer....double up on the lines and put out and anchor (not supposed have hurricanes down here till September when we get back) It has been pretty lonely around here. Roy finally left for the Rio, Saturday.....he has been my drinking buddy since Jim and Norma left 3 weeks ago. Have had Travis over again to fix stuff on the boat....best 50 bucks spent yet....did fix our diesel leak...have pumped a few hundred bucks of diesel into the harbor....been blaming the dive boats till we ran out of fuel. Put some dye from my leak kit in the tank, found 2 frenchie hose clamps that had rotted away....A/C pump and water pumps changed out....even changed out my fuel polishing pump....been running for 3 years....pumps my fuel through a roll of toilet paper before (over the side before we fixed the leak) and then to the engines or back to the tank. Have managed to get 1/2 a tank 20 gals at a time....about $3.50 a gal here...gas about 4 bucks.......that's at the gas station.......almost $5 a gallon bucks here at the marina...
Joyce has been busy diving and trying to sell her condo in Z. We found a lot on the water down here....would be nice if it all came together...her condo sells, I sell the boat and we find a small trawler .....well we can dream...
I did get upgraded by Delta on the way back....so Mizzen and I get to sit up front.... would be more important on the way back when we need the extra luggage allowance, will cross our fingers. So we will see you all back in obamaland this weekend
Hi Cap't Paul, hope you are enjoying your stay, but would not say it's Obamaland - yet. His approval ratings are going in the tank - again - still enough of us around to make a difference if we turn out in 2012. Since I still have residence in CA and MI, I'll do my part and vote twice - it is the Democrat way, right?
