well today i had the oposit problem i woke up around 3am and could not get back to sleep. i ended up lying in bed watching almost the entire season 2 of that morman show. i finally dragged my self out of bed at 9am. my task for today was to put the back cabin and associated electronics back together but i could not get up the motivation. i did give the ais keyboard one last shot , i tried trimming the ribbon cable and sanding off some of the insulation but no joy. i will need to order a replacement one.

after that failure i got on the radio and organized a bbq on palapa for the evening. we where all getting low on food but where able to divy up the bbq so we had everythign covered. dinner turned out to be absolutely great. i did some meatball things on the grill as an apitizer. jaimi had provided marinade for the chicken and shema brought some delicious rice and garlic yogurt to go with everything. this was a bit of a farewell to paul and shema as they where heading north to marmaris to meet up with some visitors.

cheers, roger
