Since my last post I have turned 70 years old. \u00a0This momentous occasion was accompanied with little fanfare. \u00a0The very small party consisted of my sister, Lee, my wife and myself. \u00a0We had a good time. \u00a0The next evening Al & Carol, our South African friends, came over and we also had a good time with them.<\/p>\n
Here is what I wrote in another blog for 5 February: I\u00a0awakened about 0530 this morning to the sounds of water and surging; therefore, I was on high alert listening for issues but a few minutes of listening produced no sounds worthy of alarm. However, I was awake and there was no turning back to sleep mode. \u00a0Now, I am writing \u00a0and slightly cold \u00a0as the heaters are not really keeping up with this size of boat. I have an estimated 3KW running and this is about 10K\u00b1 BTU’s which is not sufficient to do more than take the chill off. \u00a0Still I am happy for this and am feeling like making some coffee on the stove to add a bit more heat.<\/em><\/p>\n Today I awoke early and went down to the clubhouse. \u00a0Later back at the boat I mapped out the day to SAM. \u00a0I was going to the camper and clean up and move stuff from the car to the truck. \u00a0Also on the table was to get the truck out on the road and drive a few miles. \u00a0Upon return from the little jaunt SAM and I loaded the camper and re-organized. \u00a0We also put air in the tires and pumped up the air shocks. \u00a0She is sitting pretty now.<\/p>\n Later we organized the boat and partitioned stuff to go to the “lock up”. \u00a0Still latter we lounged around the cockpit and watched the sun go down and the chill starting to creep into the bones. \u00a0Right now SAM is fixing the food and it smells great. This is the end of a beautiful day – full of sun, low winds and moderate mid-60’s temperatures. \u00a0Tomorrow looks to be a repeat of the same.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Since my last post I have turned 70 years old. \u00a0This momentous occasion was accompanied with little fanfare. \u00a0The very small party consisted of my sister, Lee, my wife and myself. \u00a0We had a good time. \u00a0The next evening Al & Carol, our South African friends, came over and we also had a good time […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.charleswmoore.org\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2405"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.charleswmoore.org\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.charleswmoore.org\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.charleswmoore.org\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.charleswmoore.org\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2405"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.charleswmoore.org\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2405\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2406,"href":"http:\/\/www.charleswmoore.org\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2405\/revisions\/2406"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.charleswmoore.org\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2405"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.charleswmoore.org\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2405"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.charleswmoore.org\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2405"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
