Had a nice ride aboard a Customer's New custom 85footer today. I had some custom lockwork to finish on this Super cool vessel. Anyway it was raining sideways during our brief run from one end of Lake Union to the other.

I don't care what the weather is like, it's always nice to be messing around on boats.

I am feeling really bad for you. Did the owner skipper the boat or have a captain?

I'll bet it was miserable out in the cold on the bridge with no canvas or heat. Ted, he probably did you a favor by NOT dragging you out in that kind of weather. :roll:

So, did you have to make a common lock key for all 57 staterooms?

Did the owner give you a ride back to the place you started?

I wish I could say more.....but it was nice a toasty in the wheelhouse.
Yes it was a brief run, but still felt good to be on the water.

It was a skippered boat and the customer was not aboard.
The electronics at the helm was easily worth 3x my boat........
That's about enough.

Well, the power went out a couple of hours ago then came back on. Decided to rid myself of teenage smells and took a shower. Half way through... bam... no power.... and I was half done shaving my head... Sad, sad sight I am right now!

So now we are running on the house generator and plugged in my princess phone so I can call or receive calls. Ma Bell did right by using the phone line as its power source... Well getting back to enjoying a little HBO.

I have a Mach 3 and the newest Mach and like the Mach 3 better. Too many blades on the newest razor...

As for Nair... tried that a couple of years ago... had some skin burn and my ears felt like they were on fire. No way I'll do that again...

Now I know how my buddy in college felt when we changed out the head and shoulders for nair...

Heading out to see 7 Brides for 7 Brothers at the 5th... with a clean shaven head and all... :cool:
