It sounds like a fairly simple task, and that's what I thought it'd be,
until I started to do it.

I go through at least one such episode every year...

So here I am at home in more AC and I'm quite pleased with myself for
actually doing it despite the quad bypass four years ago!

Part of the reason I've resisted getting A/C for the boat - I would
probably get 10 minutes into a job, then give up and retreat below.

My Tale of Woe (for today) was really a simple brain-fart that could
have been a disaster. I was taking my brother out for a spin around
the harbor. We're on the end of the dock, so leaving is just a matter
of removing the lines in the proper sequence, and then, if necessary,
springing off. The only real problem is that from my helm seat, I'm 15
feet from the dock, so its hard to work lines and engines at the same
time. I calmly gave my brother the whole sequence, removed lines, hopped
on, and headed out. Only one problem: I had forgotten the shorepower
cable! Of course, my brother was not familiar with the workings of the
cable, and then when he finally got it off, he tossed it in the water!
Fortunately, I was back to back up to the dock so he could flip the
power switch and retrieve the cable.

Around here the radar caint see the skeeters due to the clutter caused
by the flying cockroaches. I always wondered why we didnt have mice
like they do up north till I saw a roach run across the yard carrying
a dead mouse.
