HELPING THE AMERICAN ECONOMY

Our BMO Mastercard is getting exerise down here. No chip capability so lots of signing! I did some provisioning of non-food items ie: poker chips, shampoos, body washes etc. Stuff that if you buy too much it is still okay, but who wants to spend $8 for body wash in Nassau?? Anyways we are plugging along with installation of the radar's wiring and the solar panel's wiring. Matt can relate as he helped one time thread these thick wires into a small black loom! Many frustrations but the old radar is off ... see photo and hopefully the new one gets mounted tomorrow. This is a brand new "toy" that is a necessity! The old one did not work properly. The new radar is so much bigger that we have other jobs to do because of it, ie: move the running light higher, move the barometer, and it goes on. You can see why I did not blog because it is just tedious work. Our workspace is small so not much room to maneuver.

Tools everywhere, but this is nothing compared in the interior of the saloon right now. 

You can see where we removed the old radar (10 years old) and the new much bigger one will go there

I did go to a local carpet place and will take charge and replace the area rug in the boat, this will improve the look on the inside so much. What we have now is so ugly! 

Today was "sweater" weather (for me) but that means warm coats and turtlenecks for the locals. I was in Target and there are the scarves and mitts AND... yes, those hotpads to put in the mitts!! Too funny. Today in Target a man right in front of me at the cash gave the cashier a counterfeit $100 ... she called her supervisor on the phone and he verbally told her that it is a policy they have to accept it. Even from where I was I could tell it was fake, off centre in the "Photocopying" and not the green it should be. He gets change of $80... and walks out. I'm not saying he was guilty of making the money, but he could have been snookered himself. I told her that I could tell that money was fake too... but what can you do. I told Paul maybe they have a policy because if you confront the man, he might get angry and a weapon might come out???

Dave and Traci of Daruma left early this morning after some engine problems. We hope their day was an awesome one. Our day will come!!
