back in the middle of somewhere

| 6 Comments

Just returned from the Great White North (OK, only the upper penninsula, actually). It's always a pleasure to be back in the middle of nowhere. I just wish it wasn't so far away. They need to move nowhere closer. But, I got to stick my toes in Lake Superior and catch up with friends and eat good Hunan style Chinese food (which you can't find down here for some reason). Interesting note: GSM cellphone service works in the UP now.

Also, still experiencing Internet Impotence. However, my friend and service provider is pursuing an Internet little blue pill to keep things staying up the way they should. Thanks, Chet!

Lastly, for those of you keeping score at home, my boat has beaten me yet again, in my attempt to get the thing into the water. After a new floor, engine tune-up, two carb rebuilds, water extraction, electrical fixes, outdrive rebuild, water pump replacement, intermediate shift cable replacement, throttle cable replacement, cable, water, exhaust and drive shaft bellows replacement, U-joint replacement, outdrive shaft seal replacement, and about a dozen engine oil or gear oil changes, it is still not ready to go in the water because of a recurring drive shaft bellows problem. This makes the score so far about 49--1. However, because I'm a truly ridiculous optimist, I sense a comeback brewing.

Hurray! Hurray!! You're back! You're back!!!

Middle of nowhere? Maybe middle of now here.

Know what would be cool? Kevin making another log entry.

I agree, that would be awesome.

I mean come on. Like the crack dealer. Making me beg. Or something else. Puts out a lot in the beginning and then fades to once a week. Next thing we know it will be all over. Don't do it KT. Where are the interesting articles? Your delightful insights?
