We snapped a 5/8 inch mooring line yesterday about 11:00AM at the
height of the wind gusts, with 2 to 3 footers coming through the
breakwater at Stamford, CT and wind gusting well over 35 kts.
Fortunately the second line held and I had rigged a backup in advance,
otherwise it would have been a little tense.


Got a few serious gusts here at Kingman and caused me to realize my lines
are a few years old now. They look ok, but I think it would be a good idea
to replace them soon.

Of course, Mrs. E's GB has brand new everything, including a new full
enclosure that the canvas people should be finishing up today. She actually
asked me to check the air in her fenders as I was leaving for the boat. I
have to give her credit. She has her boat looking like new.

According to my handy dandy hobby weather station, we just had a gust
of 53 Mph, winds steady out of the Southwest at 25 to 30. There's one
to 42 Mph.

Kewl....


Supposed to be up to 95 today. Going to San Francisco in a little bit for
the Johny Mosely skijump / snowboard show on trucked in snow on Fillmore at
Vallejo.


I take it nobody needs any yard trash or refrigerators hauled away
today, huh? Get much gutter cleaning work lately?

I was in Corpus Christi last night and the front hit around 9:30.
Driving back to the hotel the rain was really coming down and blowing
nearly horizontal in sheets - felt like driving in a hurricane (like
we really need another one). Sure felt better this morning though.

Get to anger management pronto, Guzzi Boy.

Bill,
One of the symptoms of FAS is inability to control ones emotions and
emotional outbursts. GuzziBoy might not be able to control himself.

If she's ready to take on bigger projects, we always have a little
bright work that needs touching up here and there...
