Barnicals

I have been diving on our boat every three weeks to keep the growth off the bottom. Because of my surgery, Becky has stopped me from doing most of the blue chores (guy jobs) on the boat. It's been seven weeks since I've cleaned the bottom and yesterday we noticed barnacles, lots of barnacles! A band of barnacles, about one inch tall and three inches wide, at the waterline, had attached to the back third of the boat. I told Becky I would dive on the boat, Becky told me if I re injure myself doing that, she would make me do the surgery again, then send me back to my mom for 8 weeks to recover. I'm sure my mom is glad to hear we came up with another way to get rid of the barnacles. Becky laid on the dinghy and scrapped them off with a putty knife, while I held the dinghy in place. In a few weeks I will clean the whole bottom and things will be back to normal. After Valentines Day, I have doctor Becky's ok to do as I please. So no more threats of sending me back to mom!
I love you mom, just not for eight weeks straight!
