Full Moon Record Setter

I didn't catch all the Scientific Mumbo-jumbo...   but i did catch them saying on the news that the full moon tonight was going to be 10% larger and 30% brighter.  i didn't measure it, but it did seem pretty impressive.

That's what it looks like down here on the water tonight.  Kinda makes me wish i was out in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico on a sailboat.  Have you ever been out in the middle, with a full moon?

It's easier to measure that 10% and 30% from the middle of the Gulf!    -skip

Hard Week

Its been a tough week.

Dermatologist visit

I had my Transmission go out this week.  I was driving to lunch when the car began to jerk and slide between gears.  When i tried to accelerate from a stop it would whine then jerk.  i could tell it was messed up...    It was fine the day before, then broken.  Wham, the end.  Solution?  $3,000 for a rebuilt tranny.

*note:  The auto guy looks EXACTLY LIKE shane, from my office.  really!

Then yesterday i went to the Doctor for a six month routine follow-up for my skin thing.  

basal-cell-carcinoma  

Well the doctor says, "i dont like this other little spot on your back.  Let's take a small biopsy to check it out."  Then she proceeds to gouge a massive divot in my hide...  Plus she used the liquid Nitrogen to burn/freeze off a spot on my nose.  

Getting Old is a bitch!  it sure ain't for sissies.             -skip
