There it is the ding, like i said, there are two more like it. oh well shit happens. That's my mom working on the rigging. Today was another day of getting things a little more organized on the boat. Mom and I did some engine maintenance, put some of the safety equipment out one the deck, and then ran some errands to west marine and home depot.  We got our dinners for the trip in the mail, MRE's, that stands for meals ready to eat, its like freeze dried food, but some people think its better, really its food in a bag that can keep for up to 15 years, so you can imagine what that might be like. Tomorrow is a big day hopefully we can get the dings fixed, the boat in the water, mast steeped, and move into our new slip at the, oh i forgot the name of the marina, but I know how to get there.

Other then that, i hung out with the truck driver Howard, he is really funny. I don't think i have ever meet such a good ol' boy from Texas. I found out that he likes to listen to Rush Limbaugh on talk radio, he really isn't to keen on having Obama for president, because, amongst other things, he was born in Africa and is a Muslim. He thinks Eve Mendez is one of the most beautiful women alive, and he doesn't understand why she wont return his phone calls. He knows all Filipino women wield knives, and he is a history fanatic.

 I think he likes mom and I because he lent me his favorite 2 movies, only on the contingency that i fetch'em on back to him by tomorrow. So i should probably hurry home to watch Smokey and the Bandit and Convoy. I wish he could come out to Hawaii for the finish party, he is a riot!!! 

Alright that's all for now.
