Just got done doing some fiberglass repair to Avalon. This is something I've been wanting to do for some time but finances have kept me from it. It seems that somehow the previous owners managed to tear the port aft cleat out of the hull. Needless to say it did a lot of damage on the way out. Now I need to get some paint and finish the job. Marine Rustolium looks like the best and cheapest thing to do. Hard to go wrong with white.
The new exciter coil should show up in the morning. Gotta love FedX! I realized, once I had taken the motor apart that the problem with the ignition was me. I had forgotten to tighten up the bolts that held the exciter coil down. I learned this after I performed the post mortem disassembly. The motor ran fine for about five minutes and then the loose bolts let the coil hit the flywheel. The grounding of the exciter coil took out the ignition coil and two loose bolts cost me nearly two hundred dollars. Well, shit.
Now that I have the money I need to live a reasonable life I find I'm having problems keeping my pockets from igniting. So many things I can do and so many things I don't need to do. It's hard to know the difference. One of the things I'm thinking about is a 3g net connection. That will let me stay connected in all ways digital while I'm out cruising. It's just a little hard to justify the sixty bucks a month that it will cost me.
Also thinking about a satellite radio so I can listen to my favorite radio stations. All of them are NPR affiliates. I just can't stand commercials. I do so love Jazz and Classical.
I guess what I'm trying to say that money only makes things more confused. Not only that but I'm having more health problems. Most of it I'm sure is stress related. I've noticed that my stool is now black and my ulcer is causing me more pain than usual. Stress and Plavix are a wonderful combination. Now I have to add lots of Prilosec to the mix. Happy days. I hate taking pills.
Right now I'm experimenting around with an olive oil lamp. So far no luck. I still want to live as close to the bone as I can. Money is not going to solve my issues. Good companionship, non judgmental, accepting, respectful,....... I'm dreaming again. Avalon likes me. The sea accepts me. I guess that's enough.
No one gets out of here alive, so live it like ya mean it.

Yes, do dream on, because you dont know a dead rich uncle when you see one, and trample over good, non judgmental, accepting, respectful people when you meet them. Youve had it all but choose not to keep it. I think you are afraid of being happy.
