I thought about the boat, as I ripped out the old deck in back of the
house. 30 year old redwood. Substructure is shot. Was in the Napa Valley
Friday and Saturday. Our kids gave us a trip on the Napa Wine Train.
delicious, well presented food, no sandwich. A seared Ahi appetizer, with
a stuffed pepper for a salad, and followed by a beautifully done Filet.
With a Chocolate Pot Pie desert. Each course accompanied by a local
Merlot. Was the Merlot Varietal dinner. one good merlot, one not so good

many boat points. Saturday we visited the Copia wine center and museum.

Probably 18-19 mpg overall. Today, spent 4 boat bucks for new pressure
treated lumber for the new deck substructure. Bay look beautiful on TV.


I was thinking of how beautiful our area can be to visitors, especially
dependent on where they are from; there are many great places and each with
it's own flavor. My only regrets for this part of the country are the
greens fade to soon to browns (pleasing in their own rights) and the warm
water summer starts too late and ends too soon. While I was on my way back

Dry Creek Rd. wineries for a taste, but thought better of it without a
designated driver on hand. If you can find it, try a Greg Norman Cabernet
Merlot, especially with rib eye steak marinated in something a little spicy;
you might like it.

And, my redwood deck needs replacing as well. I'm flipping back and forth
between a concrete patio and a redwood deck replacement. I started to tear
it out last summer, but we bought the boat and ...
