Day 10

Well, here we are. The last day off before I have to return to work. The boat mechanic came over this morning, and between the two of us, we have it tore down, and parts ordered so we can get out on the water. Amazing how expensive boat parts are, and I got to see his cost, not what is normally passed on to the customer. It's nice having clients in most industries :-)
I've been in the garage most of the morning cleaning off gasket material, and breaking down the manifold & carbuerator. It feels good to get my hands dirty.
Thought I'd come in and get a bite to eat for lunch, and then thought that I should get this done first, so now my stomach is grumbling a little. Think I'll have a can of chili for lunch! That ought to make for some down right nice company tonight!
Watched the first episode of The Amazing Race last night. Talk about spirit. There is a mother/son team, where the son is a deaf mute. They were inspirational as all get out. They came in first last night, and it was great to see someone not complain about having a "handicap", or letting it hamper what they do!
