Sail Boat Work

I put a 9 pound pork but on the smoker when I woke up in the morning. It should have taken 12 hours, but I am going to bed without it being done. The temp probes on the smokes seem to not be working great. I ordered a wireless one,

Newsies Preview Night

Tonight was the start of the play. They did a full dress rehearsal so that parents could go and take pictures during the show. Nikki decided to hang back, so I went instead with my camera. It was a bit tricky with the lighting setup. I had to take a

Mom's Birthday Dinner

Today after work we headed over to Jeremaih's to celebrate my mom's dinner. It was a really good time. The food was really good. Service was not terrible, but not good either. They didn't raise a stink that we brought in cupcakes so that

Mast buttoned up

Today I got the new mast light installed. It should work pretty good. I used melt splices that should be waterproof and added some heat shrink, so I am hopeful everything will stay tight up there. When I launch I need to remember the windex and the antenna. I will

Mast Knocking

When my boat was at the marina in the Great Salt Lake, in the beginning, any time I went to my boat, the halyards had been wrapped around the stays. I quickly realized that someone, likely a liveaboard, was wrapping my halyards to stop them from knocking on the mast.

Shark Teeth

Nikki went in today to read Warren's class a book. He chose Grumpy Monkey, which was a good choice. He also did his mystery box where we had written cluse about what was inside and the kids had to guess. We had bagged two shark teeth for each

Boat Work

I started working on the sailboat today. I cleaned up the area that I need to work on and reprinted the 3d part I need for a space and glued it in. The issue is that there are a LOT of wasps in and around the boat. I refilled all

Warren's back to Soccer

Warren had a soccer game today. It was a lot of fun, he is doing better with each game. He got up in there and was kicking the ball which was really neat. He said he didn't want to push other kids so he stays back, but he

Kids Back to School

The kids headed back to school today. They were both really happy to be back. Warren is the student of the week in the class, so he brought home the class stuffed animal. He also brought home a math box that we needed to put things in for the class

First Day Of Lagoon

Today we headed to Lagoon. Sarah, Granddad, and Grandma all came along. Mark was going to meet us there in the early afternoon for the swap out. When we first got their we took our pictures and got our cards for our season passes. It didn't take long
