Welcome to my brain. It’s messy. It’s interesting. And it’s all connected if you stick around long enough. "Believe Nothing: no matter who said it, even if I have said it, except it agree with your own reason and common sense. Siddhartha Guatamo, the Buddha.

Made it to church; evenin’ session

Yup, thats Bluejean in the water there.   I upgraded the phone too.  Thats the widescreen lense.  

And as you can see, that water is DEAD FLAT mirrored surface.    So little breeze that it didn’t even ripple the surface very often.    Considering two days ago, we were under a deluge with 30mph gusting winds.

I’ll tell ya this though.   I needed that short session on water.  I may not have done much (about 2 1/2 miles) or very fast, but my relaxation levels are ‘about right’ now.

This whole weekend getting shot to hell had me just a little frazzled.   Not that its anyones fault.   Just goes to tell me that there was some reason Universe didn’t want me in SC for a spell.  Dunno what that reason was, and I am sure I won’t like it when it finally reveals itself, but, Here I am, not where I wished to be.

Only where I am needed, for what ever reason.    So be it.

As for BlueJean,,, she’s no slouch, but she certainly isn’t a speed demon.   She’ll get you there, and drier than most of my other boats, but she will take her time doing it.    But she can carry ALL of my camp gear doing it and won’t show any signs of character change.  She ain’t goin’ anywhere out of my fleet.   I think I have said it more than once: BJ is the boat I would be willing to put my dad in for a first timer.   She is that forgiving.

The only reason I don’t take her out more often, is that forgiveness.   I get lazy and then switch boats to ones more lively; it takes a bit to re-adapt the sea legs.    Still, Lyssa is going to be in dry-dock for a couple of weeks while I work on her hull, so BJ gets to play.    I might even go ahead and do a camp out next weekend to make up (to myself) for this failed weekend. (I figure the highway and byways between here  and SIs’s house are going to be FUBAR’ed for a few weeks at least.  )

    Glad ya made it to church yesterday – mine will be tomorrow🤞

    Here at Casa Mikee we had a good weekend. Didn’t expect it, but Turdsday evening we lost power for 45 minutes. Fired up the 2 lanterns that I keep in the living room just fer that reason, and all wuz well. Dam storm knocked down a buncha tree limbs, but nothing major. Wind wuz around 50-60 – a lot! Mucho rain. That’s aboot it, though.

    The Grandson is now mobile as of Sat. Got his VA backpay last week, and they’ll have the rest of his VA stuff done shortly. He’s at 100% disability, but they only have him at 90% – still better than the 30% previously!! Sat., he got a ’15 Silverado and jood the dude down 2k – to 13k. 120,000 on the clock. 4×4, good shape with a few scratches and dings, 1 dent, paint’s good, no rust; interior’s excellent. Good deal – I’m dam happy for him – the last 2 months here have transformed him for the better! Grandpaw is mucho glad for him!! Nuff said!!

    Y’all take care (4 L’s),
    Mike in FLA.
