What have you done this weekend...?

Sold our old boat. There she goes! Bye Bye!

 

Congratulations!

Now show us the new one.

 

Going to get back to work on that soon. Had a bad skateboarding accident a month ago and ripped up my right knee. Healing up well so won't be long now.

 

I am sorry about your injury. I only use those things to move furniture.

 

Sounded better than "falling down the stairs" didn't it?

 

You fell down the stairs on your skateboard?

 

That'll work!

 

Stayed indoors reading a Jack Higgins novel.

A couple of very cold systems hit the country and snow at many places, *****, it is cold out there

 

We got hit by a thunderstorm. I was stuffing my laptop into my backpack when I heard the rain start. By the time I threw it in the passenger seat of my pickup (with a trash bag over it), unlocked and opened the gate, drove out into the alley, closed and locked the gate, drove five minutes to work and dived into the control room, my shirt was so wet I took it off to wring it out.

Gotta love the monsoon season in the desert.....

 

storms here too,, but i watched em from the dry inside.. think ive watched tv all weekend, i now know more bout vampires and zombies then i could ever use in any adult conversation.

 

Slept or worked...or slept at work.

 

This weekend im off to visit my boat 66 days since I could last get there, im so desperate i have a blowup boat that I can fit on the back of the motorbike then I have to blow it up and row 500m out to her.

 

I spent most of the day on the arse end of my sanders prepping to fiberglass the hull. Pics weren't really that exciting so I did a virtual tour of my very messy boat shed. Click the pics will take you to the video's on my Photobucket page.

Part 3

 

Is that a TV remote and an empty orange slush . Not evidence of hard work is it?

 

Im not doing much this weekend in preperation for getting up tomorrow morning at 5 and driving 1400km to the bottom of Thailand and the the border of Malaysia.

Easy really after Bangkok then one road that probably goes right down to Singapore.

It takes 14 hours, I should be in the White Rose hotel Satun by dark hopefully.

Then Tuesday I catch the 25kn ferry to Langkawi Geopark at the top of Malacca straits where I will be on the boat for a month or two, just takes an hour. Leave the car in the car park with a solar panel charger in the window. Seems to work 0k.

Sometimes it costs me a dollar to get the security man to give me a push.

Then when I get to the boat I have to be carefull --this is the part where I have in the past tuned on shore power and invertors at the same time, man those invertors are expensive.
