Getting ready

Today I will focus on getting Victor on the boat to figure out why our VHF will not transmit on High power. Victor is an extremely nice gentleman who has a rare malady, known as (CSN). He just can’t say no! As a result he is always behind and overloaded with work. Trying to keep everyone happy doesn’t work if one doesn’t meet their schedule. He was supposed to call me to come over last Saturday, but I still haven’t heard from him. I will go to his shop today and drag him over if necessary! Just kidding, what he lacks in prudent business practice, he more than makes up in courtesy and amiability. He is also very good at what he does!


After the Cruisers' net, Roger the refrigeration man is supposed to call to make arrangements to come out to check our refrigerator and freezer. I think that I might have put too much R-12 in the system. I’m not sure, but don’t want to run it until I know for sure. If I put too much in and run it, the results could be very devastating, and we certainly don’t want that. Enough shit breaks on its own around here, without me adding to the problem!

If I get these two feats accomplished, I will install the correct length bolt in the bracket I made to hold the GPS above the Sonar screen at the helm. I also need to reinstall the high pressure hose I had to remove off of the water maker, in order to be able to inspect it for wear. That’s about it for today, unless I can squeeze in some fishing time.

Judy said that while I am getting my stuff done , she would make some cinnamon rolls and make some more bread. Yum! Yum! I haven’t had breakfast yet and it makes my mouth water just thinking about those hot cinnamon rolls.
