The repositioning went well yesterday. It took a little over three hours to motor from my old slip in Fort Myers Beach, up the Caloosahatchee river, to downtown Fort Myers. The boat ran perfectly – Thank You!! As usual, I forgot my camera – phone to the rescue. They are not great nor of anything… [Read More]
STRESS!!
Sometimes it seems that nothing ever goes to plan. I even had a pretty simple one this time. Step one was to arrive at the boat and do some serious cleaning. Interestingly, the shore water faucets had no water. No problem, I’ll use on board water. My battery bank was dead. Ugh. I plugged into… [Read More]
Arrival
It was a very long drive but I am in Florida at the boat. Lots of cleaning is planned for the next couple days. Hopefully lots of good info and adventure to follow. I’m not sure why but I am filled with fear and apprehension.
Change
Finally, a change of scenery, a bit of adventure… I have departed for my boat. Her and I will be companions for the foreseeable future. Is the house sold? No. Will it ever sell? Who knows. What I do know is that I have spent the last two years waiting and hurting. Every day is… [Read More]
Internet Speed Test
My current home is in a rural area south of Albuquerque, NM. Century Link (formerly Qwest) is the only land-based Internet service provider. They charge $76.80 per month for a “High Speed Internet” DSL line. All of my neighbors complain of terrible performance and we all suffer from terrible performance after any good rain. The… [Read More]
Downer Day
Not surprising I guess, the contract on my home has fallen apart. I feel very cheated. My realtor was also the buyers realtor (sign #1). After waiting for two months, the buyers lender (underwriter) wanted a second appraisal but the buyer did not want to pay for it. Instead, the buyer wanted to amend the… [Read More]
Secure Information
I ran into a great one today that I just had to share. I write software (as you probably know) and have to deal with the security ramifications of collecting and storing Personally Identifiable Information (PII). In general terms, this is any piece of information that can be used in combination with other bits of… [Read More]
More Home Sale
Amazing! Remember I told you here that I expected that “they” would require MORE days for the sale of my home? Well, they do. A second underwriter has agreed to accept the first appraisal. YEAH!! BUT they want a second appraisal done to validate the first… WHAT!! Then you are NOT accepting the first one. … [Read More]
Food Flight
Yesterday morning I was invited to tag along with a friend on a breakfast flight to Sante Fe. The Sante Fe pilots group was having a little get together at the restaurant there. At the current time, I am nothing more than a pathetic pilot without an airplane so, of course, I leapt at the… [Read More]
CPAP Trouble
I spent the weekend packing and preparing to move onto the boat. I have sleep apnea and use a CPAP machine and nose mask while sleeping. This is a “Constant Positive Airway Pressure” machine that helps to prevent snoring which prevents the constant interruption of sleep. The device that I have (ResMed Escape S8) has both… [Read More]
