What to do, what to do? I could stay here and join the fray, or...

YES! Golf wins.

Click on the 'Donate to Renee' button, and put me in the poorhouse!

Sure am glad I chose golf. Looks like I'm the only one who had a great time!

I worked on some huge ag starters and alternators. That always helps
the bottom line.

I've been working on the boats. That's always fun when it's
finished.

I was going to bring the boat home and work on it, but the nice weather
changed. A little rain already. Need to weld up some old holes drilled for
removed stuff, and get it ready to repaint. Buddy wants to go kayak, but he
is fighting a cold.

We had another dummy go kayaking above the rapids in the Potomac today. Luckily, she got extracted
before she got killed.

Whatcha doin'?

Just finished up two refigeration systems on the trawler, replacing an
older unit that was getting creaky. Launched the dinghy yesterday
for the first time in a couple of months and found a problem with the
battery switch. Fixed that and then took a spin across the river and
back, always an adventure in a 12 ft inflatable. Weather has been in
the 80s now for weeks - time to fly north with the snow birds.

Two refrigeration systems... I'm so glad you're middle class!

I think some people have a freezer in their garage.

Sweat equity my poor confused woman, very middle class. The truly
wealthy call someone up and get it done for them. Installing it
themselves would interfere with tennis lessons or the bridge game.

Your turn: Define middle class.

It's shrinking. Sweat equity has nothing to do with it. Lots of people
in the lower socio-economic level work very hard and try and save.

Many people in the middle class take tennis lessons and play bridge.

It used to be that middle class was defined by relatively stable
economic situations, but more and more people are losing their homes
and going hungry even. You may not be "truly wealthy," but you're
certainly not in the middle. Someone who has a boat they use as a
second, vacation home and travel around, seemingly endlessly, someone
who has two fridges on their boat for God Sake, isn't really middle
class, at least not compared to the vast majority of people.

Saw that on the news this morning while at the gym. She should be made to
reimburse all costs of rescue with maybe a 20% PREMIUM.

I was bricking up a wall, thinking about John out on the course and
being a little envious.

Obviously the dragon's teeth on the far end means "watch this space".
We are not sure what's next on that end of the patio. It will probably
be another deck and covered area like the tiki bar on the other side.

Looks very nice...but the golf was probably more enjoyable.

Did you break 80?

I break 80 every time I play.

Agreed.
