On the boat

After a slow start we took the boat out for a day sail. Anchored in swan creek. Had dinner saw a beautiful sunset and we are just relaxing for the night.

Let's Pretend

Last night went out with Marilyn and Meg to see the play Let's Pretend We're Married. We went out to the Nodding Head for dinner and then to the Prince theater Black Box to see Let's Pretend. It's put on by the 1812 productions. A comical look at marriage on the stage and beyond. Jennifer Childs and Tony Braithwaite are just a howl especially when they are belting out 70's love lounge standards. The spoof on the Newlywed Game was great. I'm so glad we were not picked! It's a good show.... go see it.

Working from home today.

Needed to get some work done today without interruption. So I'm working from home. Making good progress and I'll be done early. Maybe I'll go get a haircut.

Well the boat is now ready!

The boat is now ready for the 2009 season. All mantainence and setup issues are now done. Except for the fridge. The fridge quit and I have someone going to take a look at it. That won't stop us from going across the bay next weekend. If the weather holds up we'll get off the dock and head to the Magothy River.

Happy Birthday Mary Beth!

At the blog we are shouting out a big happy birthday to Marilyn's Mom!

Hope the grandkids are there to help you blow out the candles!

Happy Memorial Day

Were down at the boat. Finally got the solar charging system installed. Changed the fuel filters. Oil change will have to wait untill tomorrow. Next weekend we'll be ready to head out on a cruise. Saw Howie and Bill and Pat Rock in Rock Hall this morning. But they took off before we could invite them to the boat after they finished their ride. Oh well.

Almost the Holiday

It's Friday before the holiday.

There is a 25% chance you coworker has blown off the day.

There is a 25% chance that you will blow off the rest of the day before 2pm.

There is a 75% chance that your boss or a customer will come looking for you and not your coworker after 2pm

This is the Great Recession the biggest downturn since 1929 and screwing up will blow your whole career clean off!

You got to ask yourself .... Do I feel Lucky!

Well.... Do you feel lucky Punk!

Made it to work OK today

Glasses on, shirt right side out, no shaving cream in the ear, pants on, shoes on the right feet.

Morning are hell.... especially before coffee!

Get the white cane!

Forgot my glasses today on the car seat. I was wearing my sunglasses and thought I had my glasses in the case. But they are spending the day on the car seat. Luckily my sunglasses are two piece Rx inserts and sunglass overlays. It works but it's dorky.

Snuck out early today

And went up to the flying field. Joe Baker was mowing it much to my chagrin. The wind was blowing and I put the little Piper SuperCub model in the air. It flew nicely and handled the wind pretty good. The wind was too much for it. I got at lest one good landing on the field. One I plunked down in a hay field. The TREX Helicopter flew well. I just did one flight of it. Then the sneezing took over. I'm still sneezing tonight. To the showers to wash off the pollen!

Flying this afternoon

Going up the the Buck County Radio Control field in Plumstead this afternoon to do some flying. I think that the wind is low enough to fly the small plane I have and one of the helicopters. I'm wondering if I should bring up a bushel basket for all the pieces!!

Boat in the water

Yes, the boat is in the water. The rain has not helped fitting out Imagination for the summer. It's either been raining or threating to rain for the last three weeks. The sail are up, not the canvas and the solar panel project is not completed. A final push this Memorial day weekend will get it done! Hopefully we'll be updating the blog from the boat this weekend.

Time to shake off the dust.

Hey I woke up and it's 2009!!! Well No. I was just feeling like shaking the dust off the blog. I made some changes. I added a place where you can post that you are following the blog ( How very Twitterish of me ) a quick comment where you can mark the post as interesting or funny or completly irrelavant and a newer Where's Rico section. So I hope you enjoy keeping up with what is going on.
