Good grief, don't you guys have anything better to do?

This is a good time of year for planning and preparing for next
season's boating adventures. Hopefully some of you pull away from
your keyboards long enough to do a little of that.

Carry on.

Have been planning next summers trip. Towing to British Columbia. Trying
to decide of I want to stay in Lund / Powell River or Quadra Islandj,
probably Taku Resort. Or Barkeley Sound and Bamfield. Better Halibut
fishing from Bamfirld, but bear viewing in Bute Inlet and more chance of
Orcas.

Those are all great areas.

When you stay at one of the resorts, do they have dockage for the week
or do you have to relaunch from the trailer every day?

This past summer I didn't get the boat down to the Mira River as planned because of my PMR.
At this point I'm down to just south of a guarter of the daily steroid dose I started on and am keeping up my treadmill and BowFlex routine 3 times a week.
I am 11 months into this affliction and with any luck will be free of it by July.
So, we're looking for an active boating season next year.
Believe I mentioned that I picked up my boat a few weeks ago and the warranty paint blister repair looks great.

Damn, Don - when you say 'PMR' are you meaning this:

http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-c...n/con-20023162

If so, that sucks. I'm sorry to hear about that. Let's hope it doesn't
turn into giant cell arteritis. That's some even worse ****. I'll say
a prayer for you. (Honestly.)

Glad the blister repair looks good. I guess a year of use will show
how well it lasts.

PMS is a bitch, so I've heard. Hope you are on the road to recovery.

I look at resorts with Marinas. When we stayed in a B&B on Salt Spring
Island, got a slip at local Marina. telegraph Cove had a nice RV park plus
slips. Runs $1-$1.39 a foot per day. Week normally gets a small
discount. My boat is about 23' overall.

That's it..specialist said I had the classic symptoms.....and in spades.
End of last April I couldn't dress myself. drive or even get up out of a chair ...especially the week or two before I started the steroid treatment.
D'oh..I spent around 2 grand on a lift chair, and various aids to get me through the day...such as a commode chair, extender for picking objects up from floor, device to help putting on socks...etc etc.
Wish I had started on the steroids a week or two earlier.
Anyway, I feel great today...a bit wishy washy in the knees and can't make a tight fist.. but overall pretty minor now. I may take an Aleve pill on a rainy morning if I plan to exercise.

I'd guess that FlaJim also suffers from dementia, but I can't recall him
ever being anything more than intellectually slow.

I'm finally out of casts on my wrist and in a light brace. I see an
occupational/physical therapist twice a week to work my way back up to
snuff. But still, it's a minor inconvenience compared to what you're
going through.

You know, with those steroids in your blood, you'll not pass the drug
test for major league baseball...your hope of a career in "the bigs" is
over.
