So, you *girls* and guys that haven't done so, yet, go he http://centralva.info-komen.org/goto/reneewinckler* 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. 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. |

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. |

I was bricking up a wall, thinking about John out on the course and being a little envious. http://gfretwell.com/ftp/bump%20out.jpg 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. |
