Is it my news server or has this place been unusually quiet for the last

Our resident narcissist seems to be on holiday, severely limiting the
rebuttal flames. Didn't he say something about visiting Florida? The
weather here is spectacularly good today so perhaps he's enjoying some
quality time at the beach.

I'm in the middle of a big project replacing the teak decks on our
Grand Banks. After 37 years they had lost about half of their
original thickness and were due to be removed. It's a lot of work but
the old teak is up, thousands of screws removed, screw holes filled
and gelcoated. Fortunately I've got a very capable helper who has
built two boats of his own among his other accomplishments.

That's a major undertaking. I am impressed.

Have a friend who did the same (among many other updates) on a 42'
sailboat. Been working on it for 2 years now but is just about
finished. He plans to live aboard, sailing the seas wherever the wind
takes him.

Me? I babysit horses.
