I'm at work and feeling much better today. When I close about 4pm I
think I'll sneak in a ride because tomorrow the storms are rolling in.

It was supposed to rain today but it cleared off and we declared a
mutiny. We took our Wednesday boat ride today. We may go tomorrow too.

Beautiful evening and I spent a while in the pool.

Busy day tomorrow. I am putting in a little extra capacity in my
septic field. I found a guy (school teacher) with a mini excavator who
will dig the hole for $250-300. A local trucker is dropping off 5
yards of gravel about noon (half in the hole and half for my trailer
parking spot) and I will start spreading it to see how that goes. I
may declare another mutiny and get the guy up the street to send me
some labor.
After that it is set the chambers, pipe and backfill the hole.


It's a ****ty job but somebody has to do it. ;-)


My experience in Florida was that the state seems to be pretty lax in
terms of rules and regulations for septic systems. No inspections
required when buying or selling property. Up here a "Title V" inspection
is mandatory.

Cool. That makes the 10x15 poly tarp we fly from the pontoon boat
really have a Cast Away look ;-)
Judy really wants to do a tall ship cruise. Is that a charter or some
kind of wind jammer thing?

It's a commercial operation called the "Star Clipper Line" or
something like that. It's an interesting experience, quite a bit
different than your normal cruise ship but with many of the same
ammenities on a smaller scale. Internet service leaves a lot to be
desired but it is available in fits and starts.

Where do you meet the boat? Is this a fly and sail?

You could never get away with that up here. Well, you might if nobody
ever noticed you doing it but if you got caught you'd be in a world of
s*&t! (pun unintended)


Come and get me copper!

This is a French Drain to handle the excess water coming off of the
roof from my new Tiki bar, that is my story and I am sticking to it.


No permits needed? Fascinating.

Repairing existing

BoatUS seems to send discounts for those cruises at times.

They sail the Med at times. We saw one in Barcelona.

I needed an inspection when I put on the addition.

This thing was working fine, then I had a problem. The guy found a bad
lead (tree problem) . I had a guy with a machine taking out the tree
and we fixed the damage, adding on a little since we had the hole open
anyway.
I already had a truck load of gravel coming for where I park my
trailer.

Generally yes, you have to check their schedules and book something
you like. See the web site that Tim posted.
