John, so the job is not as good as you hoped it would be?

Leo "Apollo11"

It's lunchtime, and all the Union pukes are on 'break' so we're schlepping some enchiladas and doing some down time. See that MO's been out there, so thought I would hijack myself back.

Job is fabulous. It's a dream come true and will open a lot of new doors. I get to be as iconoclastic as I wish, and think (hope) I can get a boat out there with my particular views as to shape.

MO is refering to old history. First time I did this was doing a new keel design for Doug Mungeon. It was costly and Doug couldn't get insurance to pay for it. So there was this Catalina Island race where we burried him in the Isthmus hole and were miles ahead of him at West End, and we were quarter mile ahead of him at the bight. Doug's Swiftsure rated -21, our Shadow rated 17. He was pissed and talked his tactician (from a sail loft that will forever be nameless) into running the boat hard up onto the San Juan Rocks (which every 12 year old from SoCal knows where they are).

"Damn it xxxxx, I broke my keel!"
"Ok, let's take it to Dana Point Shipyard and get it hauled out. Maybe we can get a new keel!"

And so he did. Big boat sailors know this story very well. Doug marched to a different drummer back then. Most people nowdays aren't quite so cavalier with the rules, but when $hit happens to them, they do tend to recall Darling Douggie and his magic new keel.

MO is just being a little pissy. He takes a cynical view of big boat owners. But just because somebody runs their boat up against a bar, and needs a keel job, doesn't mean they meant to do it.

Ciao. John

Asleep at my feet right now. On a double long leash and loving every second of P'cola. Little boy widdles a bit on each and every thing that comes within his radius. The workers love him. They go "way down! look out for the dog!"

Would you like some pics?

Always!

It has been 14 years since I moved from P'cola, when I left the Navy. There are a lot of great parts to that area. Next weekend, I'm meeting up with two old, retired Marine buddies who I have not seen since I left there.

Fantastic!

That must mean I'm next. Still a part timer after 16 months. But I am getting in more hours. Things are picking up. Hopefully not much longer. Blue Cross/Blue Shield dropped me last month because of the shoulder thing. The BASTARDS.

Nik,

Although I think that's terribly cruel to the mice, poor little squeakers-I'm very happy for your offer.

Uh...will you accept it?

Beautiful country. We did quite a few projects in that area. Mostly schools.
Watch out for deer aned moose. They don't like moving off the road. They just flip you the hoof rather than yield to the right of way. Real bad asses up north. My buddies mom hit a moose over by Thief River Falls heading to the casino from another buddies wedding reception. Quite the scare when Mickey got the call from the PA system and went to see what it was about. Had there been a passenger, there would have been a fatality. Peeled the roof to the head rest on the passenger side. She mostly got fur and glass and some minor scratches. Air bag never deployed as the hood passed under the belly creature. Lucky, lucky lucky.

The summer will practically end on Sunday / Monday when temperatures are expected to drop 10-15 degrees Centigrade and heavy persistent rain is expected... we had almost 4 months of beautiful weather (perhaps 10 days of rain alltogether) and temperatures regularly above +30 degrees centigrade with plenty of blue sky and sunshine...
