This AM around 06:00 here, just the typical spring freight train front.
Got 2 inches of rain in about 30 min. My trusty dog Skipper woke me in
time to close all the hatches on the boat...but I left the window down
on the car, and I left my treasured Deigo Garcia Zippo on the patio
table that HAD a nice big umbrella on it. The umbrella is shredded and
my zippo was deep sixed. Spent 30 min in my canoe fetching the
neighbors teak deck furnature.

Hopefully the day can only go uphill from that rude awakening.

Let the zippo dry out completely...chances are all that's worng is
that the flint is soaked and won't strike....

I've got to find it first :0(

It had to of fallen under the dock between the boards, it's about 10 ft
wide and you can not dredge with the net unless your swimming and
willing to get cut up some by barnacle laden lumber.

I figure it's Neptunes now, along with many other treasures he taken
from me.
I got a good 25 yrs out of it.

Joe

Yipeeeee! Terry just found it!

She put it in the galley drawer with the fine brass and mahogany
dinnerware when she cleared the table last night.

And the Sun is shining brite!!!

Now you are in her debt for at least a month. Go out and buy her a
posy.

Good ideal...We have a nice date planned tonight!
Think it will be yellow roses!

The koys of sailing. I have donated a swimsuit top, several towels,
a pair of prescription sunglasses, the top off a grill, too many
screwdrivers to count, and other various paraphenalia to Davy Jone's
locker. Maybe that will be part of a sailor's reward when they die:
they get all their stuff back!

Me... 2-3 Case knive, 1 Buck, pair of Bosch and Lomb ambermatics, penn
senator reel and rod, jig-saw,drills, radios, many marlin spikes,
......oh and the big one... my wedding ring.

Fish it out with a magnetron magnet tied to a cord. In fact, "magnet fish"
your whole dock area you may find tools, pistols, lighters, hardware and the
like.

I saw that storm reported on Fox and Friends at 0500 while doing my morning
calesthenics and thought of you. Why were you in bed at 0600? What kind of
slacker are you?

Amen!
