Computer Challenged

Though I started using a computer in 1978 with a Tandy 4K with a cassette drive; and over the years moved from the inital 8088 with floppy drive 5 & 1/4. I rely on my son who is has his degree in networking to fix problems. As with all on his field, they get upset when simple questions are asked. He shared that he was drafted at the college he works for to teach as basis starter course one evening. When he told all in the class to move their mouse to the bottom of the screen, on lady placed her mouse on the monitor at the bottom !

Repairing Tarp

I heard from the company that made the tape used on the tarp. Though it states use in tough conditions, they shared it was not water proof. I will stick to duct tape from now on.

Should you like to know the name. Leave me a note.

Change of Plans and talking to a friend

Posted by Picasa

It has been sometime since any work has occurred. My job and my bride's business takes up much of the time. Decided not to go with a slip for now, basically due to not having the boat ready. Bummer...

So when it is a little warmer going to start back. The boat has a tarp over but it is 2 two old. The seams came apart and I used a tape to put back together, but it failed during a storm recently. I e-mailed the manufacture this morning so I won't mention name, yet, that would not be fair to them at this point.

The joy last week is speaking to a friend that we had not had contact for years. He was visiting my wife's business and she put on the phone. I forget at times how important it is to keep in touch.

Anyway, I attached his picture when we were docked in Alexandria for the 4th of July in 1996.
