Directive & ARC 2101

Post by fjviola »

Has been a busy 14 months. Cancer took Mom in Feb 2014. I did hospice for her. Was a 'good' death.
Her last directive, "Franklin, you have to stop 'camping out' like a bachelor at the bayhouse."

Re-modeling of Seabrook, TX house that Mom and Dad physically built in 1954 (She mixed mortar & He set cinderblocks) is coming 'together' as we are now slinging paint on the walls and making it our 'home'.

Speaking of paint, in April I had the ARC 21 dagger trunks repaired so hulls will no longer take on water. And, gave her a 'new' paint job!
Yep, we should be 'easy' to spot from the beach :D

Currently we taking a vacation in Miami for 7th Annual Rum Festival. Got a chance to hit South Beach on Weds.
Any idea why women tattoo their boobs? :shock:

Re-rigging of ARC 21 will be completed shortly, and ready for "First Saturday" in May at Texas City Dike 8)
Hope everyone will be trapping off a wire soon!

I painted my A cat that color and it looked awesome! I put black stripes on the side like the old Laser or phaser stripes on the 70's Cudas.

Everyone called the color "Over Early!"

ˈau̇t-ˌpā-shənt is simply the Phonetic transcription of "Out Patient".
Which, when asked, is what I tell folks I do for a living:

"I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round"
