Nope...I know what you're thinking...the volatility in the world financial markets are giving us trouble. In our case, the great recession of 2008/2009 caused us so much trouble that what's going on now is completely meaningless to us.

Our troubles are much different, and are like this: electric bilge pump died this weekend, manual must also need a rebuild as it is inoperable (discovered after electric stopped working), sail cover doesn't fit over new mainsail, new mainsail chafes on backstay up top and needs to be re-cut/trimmed, small amount of oil still leaking from valve cover on diesel, even after tightening up the hold-down screws...we even have bubbles in the varnish! Does it ever end? How can I make progress on the "to do" list when I keep having to add this kind of stuff to it?

AAAAARRRRRGH!
