Shopping with Leslie

 David and I got up before the sun and mowed, edged and blew off both the front and back yards.  It always looks so nice and I love that smell of freshly cut grass.  I got cleaned up to go get my hair cut but David suggested I wait until tomorrow as perhaps the B Team would be working on the holiday, probably a good idea. Leslie and I decided to go shopping at Kohl’s where we managed to find a little something for most of us.  Harrison scored big, can’t wait to see which outfits he likes best, ha. Leslie and I continued the hunt for her oversized chair and ottoman.  It’s been 6 months but she’ll find what she wants eventually. I worked on Photoshop today and I learned that I have so much!!! to learn, but the joy is in the journey and it feels good when you figure out how to do something new.  We are getting ready to drive on Friday, finishing projects, cleaning up messes we’ve made (our daughter is a saint to put up with us for so long) and getting last minute things ordered from Amazon.  It won’t be long till we are back on the boat.  The yard has crossed quite a few things off the honey do list.  The sanitary hoses have all been changed, the back deck underwater lights are in, camera on the back deck is installed, don’t know about fixing the horrible noise the shower door makes or the stabilizer fin (which is why we went there in the first place) or the hatch cover up on the bow.  But one very exciting thing…..there are no signs of the rat!! He must have enjoyed a bit of poison a la mode and now he is a puddle somewhere (evil laugh, evil laugh).😈😈

Wrapping it up

 Boss Bobby was absent again today.  He volunteered to come install our hydraulic hoses tomorrow, Saturday, his day off.  Management said no overtime,  doggone again.  David was out on the dock and Boss Bobby came up to him, put both his hands on David’s shoulders and said, “I may have good news for you!”  Boss Bobby called management and explained without anybody else here to bug him, he could come and get the hoses “knocked out”.  Music to my ears!!  He said he’d be here around 9am, I said, “I’ll have lemon bars ready for you”.   Don’t know if he can get all the hoses installed, but we’ll keep our fingers crossed!  We both did more cleaning today.  I got a razor blade and scraped off some dried varnish drips that a previous, sloppy painter had smeared all over the boat when he was applying varnish to the teak rails.  I moved inside and scraped the edges and corners of the floors so get them really clean.  I applied a cle...

Crabbing

Image
 The day started out nicely.  Grant FaceTimed us, he and Harrison were hanging out at home. Grant got him to smile sooo big several times we even got to watch Daddy do Harrison’s tongue exercises  (tongue movement so everything heals correctly). The smiles were real and intentional, not just hot air came out of my butt kind of smiles!!ðŸĪŠ It was so great to see them both!  I got the great idea to try my hand at crabbing, we took a chicken thigh and tied it with string to the crab trap, I thought it was pretty secure but I was wrong.  The first time we pulled the trap up, a big crab make a fast escape, the next pull we had a baby crab, the third pull we found the chicken thigh completely gone and no crab,  and one of the lines that pulls up the sides to trap the crabs inside had been chewed off. We pulled it up may more times but still no crab. But I am not giving up!  We had a squall come through the marina, we heard noise, it was lots of rain, looked u...

Yes, Sir

 We made it to Palmetto, FL.  The winds were still blowing too much, the water was still   Coast Guard departure    Jake and Harrison playing on the Ipad    We had a stowaway,  we turned him loose when we got close to shore, I didn't know how far they can fly so better safe than sorry   Our soldiers at work!!   Jake will be 14 in a few months   Harrison is 11 months rough but what a gorgeous shade of teal blue!  We only saw a few dolphin but none came to play along side of the boat.  I used the patch again and Ellie had her L-Theanine so we both tolerated the rocking' and rollin' better.  When we only had 3 hours left to go to reach the marina, we were hailed by the Coast Guard.  Oh, crimany, what did we do or not do???  We were asked to put the boat in neutral, did we have any weapons on board and may they come aboard for a safety check?  We did as asked, they pulled up beside us and came aboard. ...
