Skippy -

Get the icecream in while you can. Unless you have a generator (don't

recall seeing one) might be a while before you can get any more.


Heh. Our freezer can handle it with aplomb (kinda like chocolate drizzle), but between the extra amps (I'd have to lower the temps by a few degrees), and the breathtaking prices outside the US, not to mention it melting before we could get it to the freezer, my ice cream days are numbered.

Not such a bad thing, as I expect that most, if not all, of the 15% weight gain I've had in the last 20 months is a product of that lovely stuff...

Skip, going up the mast today, to run new exterior Cat 5, install a new bracket for the wind instrument, and replace (third one - where DO they go??) the windex due to missing arrow and MAYBE install a couple of steps if the'll come far enough to benefit, under the shrouds, not being enough room over them...
