well, boat is cleaned and running, tires and axles in good shape. new
safty cable, cooler ready for soda pop, juices, salads and water. all
systems working. tow station wagon in as good of shape as it will
ever be. Only thing is I didn't find battery operated stern light
for the boat. But I'll stop as Salem tomorrow and they have a goodly
selection of boating accessories because they're 15 mi. from the lake.
If I cant find one there, I'll do the emergency light strapped to a
back hand rail. Oh yeah, the nephew's have "borrowed" Aunt Bridget's
life jacket, so I have to get her another Sterns. She likes the full
padded type, because occasionally the side of the boat can give a
pretty good jar to the back, and they make a good cushion for such.

Daughter just got home from college for the weekend so she's going
too. Boat is too small to do any tubing. I suppose we could but
there's enough room for just us and some swag without the floaty toys.

Y'know. it seems that no matter how much you can think of, there's
always something you leave that you need. But I'll make sure I have
all the legally required stuff.


Anything else? eh , I'll think of it when I get out in the middle of
the lake.


Next year I'm going to remind you about May to go out for a boat ride
just to see if everything works. Then you won't have all this last
minute pressure to fix stuff.

Are you running around the house going, "Where's the Zoloft, where's
the Zoloft?"

Good luck on the water. We're on the way. Housesitter arrives soon.
Keep this place clean and friendly!
