What to do...
 
Woke up this morning to minus 10C temps and icy snow still covering the
ground from Mondays storm.
http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=44258
Then at 0930 hrs my buddy calls me from the British Virgin Islands. His
base is Tortola, but he was on a charter taking tourists over to Virgin
Gorda. (Bitter End?)
His clients were ashore looking for accommodations so he called me on
his Skype line to try and convince he I should come on down.
What a temptation.
The wife expects me to paint our master bedroom and make ready for new
bedroom furniture.... but my buddy has two sailboats and a new to him
Kia Sportage waiting to go, plus he's off work next week. What to
do............

Hey Don,

I understand your dilemma.

Hire a painter and go.

Scott

P.S. If you can't, I can be ready in an hour.

I've been sailing in the BVI twice in the past 1 1/2yrs. What's the
dilemma? Tell her you'll paint after the furniture's in, to make sure
she chose the right paint color. :^) She must need a vacation too from
all that furniture shopping!

I'd like a bottle of Pusser's Rum while yer at it. :^)

Friend of mine honeymooned there and brought me back a bottle of
Pusser's. I've got to say, it's got a unique taste, ergo, Don, I'd like
one also!!
