Getting ready for the annual summer boat trip

I have been here at Demopolis in Al for a week or more and to say it has been hot would be an under statement. We have had over 100 degree days every day. Gets so hot you have to work inside the boat in the afternoon for it is too hot outside. Thank goodness for the A C. I want to catch up on the jobs I have been working on since my arrival but I am not going to list them all. It has been fun for me for I like to tinker and keep busy. I go to Walmart once a week and I do my laundry once a week and the majority of the time I am working on the boat. A boat is like a house there is always work to be done. Boatng is not just fun and games all the time it is like most things-a lot of work to finally realize the fun. Some of the major jobs have included changing impellers in the two engines and the generator, fixing the two strainers for the AC and the generator, painting the aft deck, checking all saftey items and 100 other little jobs. I have been here a while and still have a lot to do. I have met a lot of nice people and we gather each day in front of the boaters lounge and visit for at least two hours after we get our work done for the day. I will try to keep up the posts and stay in touch.at least until the Admiral gets here. You see I am the Captain and Jan is the Admiral or as I like to put it she is the real Captain. Email us please. Signing off Tom.
