Boat Busy Work

It never seems to end....   the boats 'busy work!'

Let's see.  Diesel Don stopped by and informed me my transmission is shot.  So i'm getting a rebuilt one and that is in process.  My new phone should (should) arrive tomorrow.  Lynne has gotten a wild hair and started painting.  So far she has done the two bathrooms with lots of threats to continue on down the hall and into the main salon.  i put new gasket material on the freezer and painted the mast foot.  i also got the new antenna and grounding wire for the used SSB and am working on that. (i guess add 'acquire SSB operators license?)  i had to swap out my left hand prop for a right hand one because the new tranny is opposite.  last week i installed a new faucet aft in the head.  (back bathroom)  i had the outboards 100 hour service done. i've been working on 2016 taxes and transiting 'boat papers'.  i put some battle stripes onto my dingy while the paint was out to give it a more individual luster.  (and to make it less inviting to steal) Lynne got her new Passport but we still cant leave - with the drive train ripped out. i have a Canon camera lens that's giving me an error message and probably needs a factory refurb.  i'm sure there's more but that's all i can think of now.

i have a pretty long list of stuff still to do.  But i'll cover that later.

i hope your engine is OK?  Avoid the Crab Pots!    -skip
