summer update



Greetings all
It's been awhile since I've written. Just a few things have developed. My new neighbor has been evicted. it seem that he had a rather loud and rowdy party a few weeks back and some folks in the neighborhood took offense. They called up the landlord and complained. I don't know if the landlord had any other issues with him ( I know my feelings didn't help ) but he slammed the door on him. He has till the end of the month to relocate.
On a lighter note, We are busy again. we just finished removing two Simulators. one from Boeing and one from Pan. Am. Both went to the scrap yard to be replaced with new models. The first one went in at Boeing. A Sim. move from Spain to Miami. The next one arrives by ship from the Netherlands tomorrow morning. That installation should take about a month with us working about 2 1/2 weeks on it. By the time we finish that install we have another new one coming in from the U.K. to go into Airbus. When it rains it pours.
I'll include a couple of shots of the adventures.

winter/summer


It looks like winter is loosening it's grip and summer is sneaking in. It has been beautiful here on the river. Worm during the day and cool in the evenings.
We had a boatfull over the weekend. It seemed to be birthday weekend. I got to see some old friends. It was a first visit to the boat for a few of the visitors. And kids. We had three rug rats running around as only kids can do. They were actually very nice kids, well manored but kids none the less. I had to slow them down a time or two but it was fun to have them around.
well I finally did it. I tore my new neighbor a new one. I had just enough to drink, well maybe a little more then that. But anyway the evening was winding down. My guests were leaving in small groups and it was just Gerry and myself left on board. And along comes dippy-do. He came on board, sat down and started up with his inane chatter. It only took about 5 minits before I lost it and tore into him. he was aghast. He couldn't understand why anyone could not like him. He denied ever coming on the boat when I wasn't there. When I countered with " I don't think my daughter would lie to me about a thing like that" he then said the only reason he did was he thought my boat was sinking.WHAT! This numb nut would not have the first clue as to what to do if his boat was sinking much less if mine was. Well anyway He didn't get keel hauled or thrown overboard but he was asked to leave and never to return. He did.
The boat show was this weekend. I showed great restraint in not going. I already have a boat.
Not much else for now. I think I just wanted to vent. And yes I do feel better
Until next time
Life is good
