This Just In...........Friday 7:50 PM

Wish

I went more pixillys

on this one.

Getting Better

Of course this is missing the pic that has all the paint and the bronze bracket that fits there, the one they put the dreaded iron in!

Wed-Nes-Day I Epoxied This In Place

Outside it looks like this..........................................................

Inside, it looks like this......................

This Dude Came To The Back Of The Boat While I Was Chillin........

Then He Sailed Away....................................

Blue Springs Marina Take A Hit

50 mph winds hit the marina and pushed most docks way whack.

This used to be a straight shot all the way to the end of the docks, maybe 200 ft.

Little C-Dock [oldest] Takes The Biggest Hit

Only one boat took some damage during the whole thing. A piece of this dock punctured [above waterline] a boat named "Little Miss Magic".

Sorry, You Just Have To Be Here......Momma+Her Babies

This was taken thru a window and I was trying to be quite.

Attempted Virtual Tour Failure

The tour of the house video was to large to upload onto blogger.
The video itself is awesome, came out very clear. We would never put it on the web.
Maybe in an e-mail.
Lets try this compact video of Malihini.

The Big House...1st floor

This is a non vidyo.
It's been

30 min....nothing yet, how long will it take?

40 min......

50 min......

55 min.....

must be one minute or more, to upload one second of vidyo.

ONE HOUR

I'll never do another this long!

68 min....let this be a lesson to me!

One hour 25 min.... I want to get on with my life!

One hour 45 min.....I'm losing interest.

TWO HOURS

One hundred and forty minutes of my time...waiting....

two point five.....I can't let this beat me. Am I the fool?

At two and three quarter hours, I call the Blogmaster. [camera settings are important]

THREE HOURS

I can't handle it any more, three hours fifteen minutes, I'm leaving. Maybe when I get back from the boat it will be done, thy kingdom come!

It was canceled by Hurricane Bertha.

The Many Navigable Inland Waterways

Many Layered Sunday...Inside+Outside...Catch Us While You Can

We went for a boat cleaning today.
These covered docks are great for the woodwork, but they also breed
some healthy spiders. Everyone in these marinas, has to spend some of their dock time
ridding their boats of the spider poop. We did a good hour wash scrubing and rinsing
because we been to long away from her.[3 weeks]
But then we went for an hour cruise, and all was better, much better!

Hi!

I Love My Deers.....

Let me bore you with yet more pics of the many, many deer that freqent
our yard and driveway. This is the same mumma with two babies, the other
one is out front trying
to drink out of the
bird bath. Can't get
enough this!

Sliding Windows Stopped Sliding Years Ago

Must fix three windows at this session,
then two more after I put new sole [floors] in a 28 ft sailboat and finish varnish on that trawler that I'm waiting for the marina to put under cover from this relentless sun.

All the black must be cut and scraped away.

The Trawler With Four Coats On Transome

Transome and eyebrow [skinny piece near top of boat] need two more coats, the rest just one good one.

" The Glass Post " + "The Floating Post" But We'll Call This, "The Printed Pages"

Bic wrote this letter [e-mail] awhile back,
sent it to Stained Glass News. Yup they printed it!
How could they not? It pulls a tear from your eyes.
She made this piece after we sold Caprifol and settled into Quissett Harbor.

"The Printed Pages Update"

Were gonna buy lottery tickets now!!!
