Prepping for hot weather

Weather tomorrow is forecast to be high in the triple digits. Temps will stay for the rest of the week. As nasty hot as it is now it will seem refreshing later on in the week. What a cheery thought! Looking forward to going to the boat this weekend to cool off. Just have to make sure the plants are watered.

Sunset at the boat

We went to the boat this weekend. It was VERY hot and humid. We did not sail but just went to Swan Creek. The prop on the boat was fouled with barnicales and it was hard to manuver. I jumped into the creek after we anchored and scraped the stuff off the prop. We then went back to the marina for the evening and swam in the pool. Sunset at the marina was beautiful. Thank God for air conditioning! We set up the suit case air conditioner and slept in comfort.

First Tomatoes!!!

Marilyn holds our first cherry tomatoes from the garden. They look pretty big for cherry tomatoes!

Floyd Landis is about to be toasted. Too bad, his comeback story in the Tour seemed to good to be true. Looks like it was.

Boat Rigging

Looks like the storms in the area has rescheduled the boat rigging. I wouldn't want to climb a metal mast in a thunderstorm! Would you? Monday maybe the next available day for the rigging update. Next weekend will be guests at the boat and new rigging.

Diner

Took mom to the Country Club diner. It's a nice little diner where it's always busy. Earlier this week we heard a interview with Mickey Spillane who wrote the Mike Hammer dectective series. He said that he had Mike Hammer eat at diners because he could not spell restaurant!

New Contributer.

I have set Marilyn as a contributer and commentor.

Motorcycle

Not much doing today. Rode the motorcycle to the Jenkintown train station this morning.

Photo Album

Worked on getting a photo album working on our server. It seems to be working pretty good. Now we can share photos!

Marilyn Blogging

I got Marilyn started with blogging. I'll set up a link to her page as soon as she has it for general consumption.

Went down to the boat.....

Storms let up and we went to the boat today. We made a good call as all who stayed down in Spring Cove were bounced around by the storms last night.

I needed to drop off a sail cover on the boat as it will be getting some work this week. Installation of lazy jacks, control lines lead back to the cockpit and a new VHF antenna. The cover has to be modified to work with the lazy jacks.

Rain

Rain, chance of rain, humidity and small craft advisory making a boat weekend plans soggy. We have to go down to drop off a sail cover maybe we'll go tomorrow for the day and go swimming in the pool.

Weekend Preview

Boat weekend. We'll go down and enjoy. Thunderstorms tonight and tomorrow but I don't think that they will be the as bad as the one earlier in the week.... was that thunder?

cirque de soleil

What can I say! This is always a great show! The QUIDAM show is spectacular. The clowns are funny, the acrobats are amazing, jugglers are memesmerizing, the dancing, the tumbling, the skipping rope. Yes, even something simple as skipping rope is transformed into something fascinating! The story seems to revolve around a little girl, a headless man, a clown and a hat. The story is a bit impenetrable but the show is fun nonetheless.

Dinner

We went for dinner at the place that was Joe Poon's. It was a very nice Chinese and sushi bar.

Dinner was really good. But the funny thing was the guys behind the sushi bar were watching Alton Brown on the Food Channel making wontons!

Cirque de Soleil

Tonight we are going to dinner downtown and Cirque de Soleil. The show is always amazing and completely indescribable!

Power Outage

Power came back on here at 5pm yesterday. Ah A/C !!!

Power Still out

Looks like the power is still out at home. A fridge cleaning will be in order when we get home.

Kill-the-penny bill introduced

Kill-the-penny bill introduced: "Representative Jim Kolbe (R-Arizona) on Tuesday unveiled details of legislation to eliminate the penny. The move is in reaction to the rising cost of zinc - the penny's main ingredient - which at current prices brings the cost of making the coin to 1.4 cents each."

Do they think that killing the penny is really a good use of their time. With all that is going on in the world now. Besides what would I do with my penny jar!
