Another Fascinating Weather Report
Serious rain in the night and a turn to the unpleasant side today. I decided to check the NOAA weather site and saw a "Frost Watch" had been declared. The mid-morning was spent putting the swamp cooler to bed for the season, washing a few windows, taking the powerful ventilating fan out of the living room window and cleaning it. Closing the pneumonia holes warmed the cabin right up.
I am happy to say the summer house enclosure survived a serious wind test last night. While working on that I got a scratch on my forearm from a Russian Olive tree. It was not a serious scratch at all. But today it was itching and quite red-annoying. I put Neosporin on it and went to town for water and a few sundries. I went into a serious fade at Wal-Mart. Coulda been the scratch, blood sugar, the cold, allergy, low potassium or lack of sleep. Came home, took stuff, and tried not to go to bed but finally did. I awoke about quarter to eight feeling quite a bit better. No dinner tonight but I had a tuna salad for lunch about 2:00 so I am fine.
Now for Something Completely Different:
David, Jason's friend and former boss has a bigger and newer boat than Jason's 27 footer. But he has no dock and Jason has a 60 footer. Moorage rent is sold by the foot/month in Florida. David's boat is living at Jason's rent free. Jason's is living a couple doors away at an unused dock. Boat privileges come with both arrangements. Jason met a lady in the park where she exercises her black lab and he exercises his golden. It turns out she works at a resort in Bimini-some 70 miles by sea. Her husband is a fireman and he frequently takes his 22 foot boat to Bimini which is a pretty daring thing to do. So a plot was hatched. Jason would take David's boat on his first open sea adventure with the experienced hands and they would have the resort dock and berth there in Bimini. Jason said they got stopped by the Coast Guard 4 times which he thinks is some sort of record. (David's slacker eldest son was living on the boat for awhile-I am wondering if the Coast Guard knows something Jason doesn't.) The following link takes you to Flicker where Joe's pictures of the trip reside.
