Nice Weekend

Kay and I had a great weekend.  I helped Jerry install a shower sump pump.  Stripped off the deck to the floating dock and took the scraps to Jerry's burn pile. We will be turning this into a shed where Kay's washer and dryer will be.  Then Sunday afternoon Kay helped me place barrels under the dock.  Man that water is cold and I just about fell in!  The weekend was sunny but cold at night!

Floating Turds

Kay and I seem to be spending more and more on the boat.  This weekend we had satellite TV and the dock set up.  I added a few more lights so you can make it up to the road without falling over. My friend Jerry took me to his shop and we (actually Jerry) made a stair ramp so we can get on the boat without taking your life into your hands using a step ladder.

I also had my high school friend Bill Marshal over on Friday night.  We hadn't seen each other in over 35 years.  He and I caught up and he spent his first night ever on a boat.  He and Mary will be spend a lot more time with us.

We also took up the carpet in the sun room and bridge deck.  The leaks in the "California" canvas was getting the carpet wet and stay wet all winter which equals mold.

So the floating turds.  I heard Kay scream "The bathroom is flooded!"  I ran downstairs and the bathroom was flooding.  Kay thinking quick got a lot of towels.  The water valve on the toilet stuck open over flowing the head!  No, didn't find any floating turds.  Had to turn off the water to the boat. A $35 part shut down the boat!

Sunsets on Fisher Slough

Kay took these pics a few days ago.  What a great day.  Sunny and warm and we sat on the bow in our chairs and just wondered if life could be any better.  This weekend we are putting up a mail box and looking at dock lights.
