    We were up early and met sister Ann down at the lake to push the dock into place.  That done we chatted for a while and headed for Angola to do some yard work for Doris. After that we went to the Great Wall for a good lunch time meal and a nap.


    Later, we down and assembled the new sailboat for a trial run of adding the sail. Excuse me – I forgot to tell you about the salboat -The American Fiberglass 16′ beautiful saiboat that was given to us by a gentleman near Hillsdale, MI. This boat was is near perfect shape and was beautiful to behold. To add to that it came with a trailer, good sails and a few goodies. It was really in sail-away shape. In our hands it is a loved vessel that will be well cared for and maintained.

    Started mowing the lawn but the tractor gave up the ghost – looks like maybe the fuel pump went bad.  It will start if you leave it set for a while.  I’ll try it tomorrow to see if it was a vapor lock.  The gas I used may have been from last winter so I guess this is a possibility. It would be nice if it was.

    I am sort of bummed so I will just call it a night and tomorrow will be much better 🙂
