Figured it out!!!!

Sorry for the extreme delay in posting ANYTHING!  I went to log in some time ago and was all prepared with various sources of pictures scattered on the table, you know, camera, phone, video camera etc etc cause you're never carrying the same thing twice in a row, and when I entered my info to sign in to the blogger it was wrong?  HMMMM, remember some crap from Google coming through on my phone that I never really read and promptly deleted so posting went on the back burner for awhile.
I hate when anyone takes over my electronic stuff or basically any change whatsoever in anything really, creature of habit.
 As you can see, I finally figured it out and this a "please keep the faith and check the blog once in awhile" post as I will post the pics of new stuff I have or will have in the near future as someone amongst us keeps clearing all my good crap off the table, bless her heart.
We went on a little sailing adventure a couple weeks ago.  I found our neighbors a new to them catamaran on the cruisers forum, went with them to check it out, they bought it and Traci and I went with them to sail it from the east side of the Keys to the Gulf side and up the Gulf a wee bit to Port of the Islands.  It is now docked right behind us on B dock and Johnny is being indoctrinated to big boat ownership, you know, no more money, never ending job list, infinite list of "I wants" and the supreme test of your relationship.  I still think that the first time you reach a foreign shore of your own accord and you look across the crystal clear, never ending blue water, and you anchor in the middle of the banks on a calm night with not another hint of other humans insight and come to realize the lack of noise, odors and light that you've become accustom to, it's all worth it.
For us, we have our old, built like a tank Daruma and being true to form for big boat ownership, we have a list of new "stuff" that is really all I have to post about right now other than going for a supposed drivers license type medical yesterday for an upcoming job in Brooklyn that turned into so much more.  These American doctors have followed suit and commercialized their craft into a profit oriented only business along with the rest of the world, they up sell the crap out of you so to speak.  A simple "Department of Transport medical" turned into a more expensive "wellness" medical which meant being lubed and violated and paying extra for the privilege.  She started ordering all these additional tests and the dollar figure kept rolling upwards, finally I just said whoa and phoned the office to see exactly what was required although too late, I'd all ready been violated which as Johnny says is usually a 2 drink minimum.  She even called in a second female to observe the whole thing which was compounding the issue in my mind.  "Come on in and watch me fondle and violate this slightly aging guy.  It should be fun!"
For the boat we bought a new sewing machine, new wind generator, used - newer course computer, new spot light, enough new flooring to finish the floors, sent the USB radio I talked about in a previous post out for repairs, new - larger capacity bilge pumps, new engine thermostats and a few missing engine parts.  Just have to get it all done now.......
