Launch Fever

After yesterday the cushions are on the ship, the paint is on the hull, and only the sails need to be installed. Perhaps too many summers have been tied up sailing, but we are about to launch on another. The sun needs to melt some snow in Montana and push the lake up in North Dakota a little.  People are beginning to show up at the boat yard, cleaning, and polishing, all signs of spring.

Cory our resident millwright helped polish yesterday and is looking forward to a trip on the good ship. Fair winds and warm weather cannot be that far away.  Spring has sprung in the North and the trees are popping. The Commander has most of her garden in and the promise of fresh vegetables is there.  For mother's day The Commander got a new self propelled mower. She will love it.

Kadizzle thinks of the guy north of town who farms when he thinks of The Commander and the way we work here.  The farmer has a reputations. The locals say " He will never take on a job, his wife can't handle".  That is the way we handle the yard work here.  The Commander has disqualified Kadizzle from running the push mower.  Kadizzle just does not have the expertise.  There  is some question if Kadizzle is qualified on the riding mower.  This could ultimately mean Kadizzle is not qualified to cut the grass at all. The only thing for sure is Kadizzle is qualified to empty the grass clippings, and haul the crap to the dump.
