Scott won't be needing this picture anymore
News From El Salvador:
Seems like the $1000 worth of boat parts that were so gracesously brought down for us and 'mistakenly' brought to another country, are MIA....
Tales of parties on other peoples boats and trips into town with Jan. Another 'Cheryl' thing: Scott bought pasta not remembering that we had 5 lbs on the boat already...I jokingly asked if they added all the new provisions to my provision list. Howard said, "Yeah, Right." Still waiting for the alternator to be fixed and watching for a weather window - maybe leaving 12/13.
Back At the Fort:
Woke to 6" inches of beautiful white snow covering our yard. Swept off the north and west sides of the house - glad I bought those snow boots yesterday.
'Jose' finally showed up and knocked a bigger hole in our 24" thick wall - to enlarge a vent into the utility closet- so now our gas won't get shut off! THOUGH it doesn't look to me like he is finished. Maybe he'll come back.
Took longer to drive to work with the snow covered dirt road and a bit of snow on the highways. Can't zoom to work in 4WD. Ha,ha.
