At 10:12 this morning you said the exact same thing. You are repeating
yourself . That is a sure sign that dementia or alzheimers is setting
in. They have medication to treat those things now. You should see a
doctor and get on something as soon as possible.

It's only takes about three hours, but he's never been on a larger boat on
the ocean and I want his first experience to be a good one. Seems like
everyday it's been heavy fog until late morning, then thunderstorms in the
afternoon. Meanwhile, I've been enjoying the use of a free slip in
Scituate, thanks to the owners of the Mill Wharf Marina, but I don't want
to
take advantage of it. Hopefully we'll get a nice, clear day next week and
we'll get underway. To my grandson, traveling down the South Shore coast,
through the Cape Cod Canal and then over to Kingman will be like traveling
across the Atlantic.

You need to talk to Harry and JimH. Taking a child on a boat is FAR
too dangerous of an activity, and there are child endangerment laws to
protect them, according to those two.



Frankly, I have too many things to do and enjoy than to pay attention or
listen to the two Freudian Delights of rec.boats.

I don't like lightening. Mrs.E. thinks it's cool, but having worked
around high voltage for many years and being seriously zapped a couple
of times, I head for the innermost part of the house when it's around.


Smart man. I used to sit out on my porch and watch the storms come
rolling in, until a bolt hit a tree about 20' away. Now, I head inside.
Something about where I live, my property averages about 1 lightning
strike a year, but at least I've never been hit, unlike this poor guy.

A guy got zapped by lightening last week in Scituate. He was kayaking
or something. He survived, but received some bad burns in his head and
hands.

Saw him once recount the times he was hit. On Johnny Carson, I think.
He seemed to take it in stride. The older I get, the farther away
from it I get.

Grandkids are nothing but great!

Which gives me another excuse to show off my latest acquisition:

Seasickness and the associated mental state would not be a good way to
introduce the kid to the water!- Hide quoted text -

We get lighting storms in the mountains at times, but are not that common
here. Except last week. Lots of dry lighting storms. One of the reasons,
we have a state with about 800 fires going. Looks like the midwest sky.
hazy and warm.

Do you actually do anything these days except babysit?

You could put on a vest with lots of bling and get a job as a greeter at
Wal-Mart. Wait...you need people skills for that...




Harry,
You seem very anger recently. You need to take some deep breath and
count to 10. Relax. Maybe some mediation ....
ohhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm



Drop dead, sh*thead.


I only see Smithers when someone regurgitates his effulent, but he seems to
be talkin' funny lately.
examples.. "seem very anger recently"
and ..........."need to take some deep breath"

Sure did - I was testing the new camera and the image stabilization
during the last round of T-storms that came through here. As you can
see, I had some trouble with the image stabilization - got it figured
out now.

Pretty cool huh?

I don't like lightening. Mrs.E. thinks it's cool, but having worked around
high voltage for many years and being seriously zapped a couple of times, I

Doesn't bother me as long as I'm under cover. Like you, I've been
zapped a few times myself including one time when I was on one of my
towers and had a close hit.

One of these days, I'm going to finish up my remote sensor hook up to
my still cameras, head up the hill and take some images while I'm safe
in the truck. :)

A guy got zapped by lightening last week in Scituate. He was kayaking or
something. He survived, but received some bad burns in his head and hands.


Read about that - now that's a little much for me. I see lightning on
the water, I'm heading for the closest land ASAP.

I was going to write you to see if you made it to Kingman yet. I'm
still trying to find some time to invite myself over to see it.

Sounds like a blast and a good time for the Grandson.

WHOO HOO!!
