We spent a lovely day at anchor in Barnes sound today. We
did some regular maintenance and Jim did a little electrical work he'd been
meaning to get to for a while. I caught up on my chores too. One of my jobs is
maintaining the battery bank we have. I am supposed to check the 12 batteries
we have under the bed, once per week. I discovered however that once a week was
too much....I mean I have to take the mattress off, take all the panels out
and then open these batteries up only to find that the water levels are fine,
then put all this back together again. So, I had not done it for a while. Two
months to be exact! Anyway today I finally got around to it. It took 2.5lt of
water to top up all these batteries. Ooops, I think I should not wait so long
next time. After we got our little jobs
done, we went to Alabama Jacks for lunch with the other three boats here.
Sherrie, Randy, Jim, Sharon and Ken.
Alabama Jacks is just a little hole in the
wall type place, but the food was good enough. When I ordered lunch, I also
ordered jalapenos on the side. You know what they say... hot in, hot out ...and boy
was it hot!
We then took a short walk around the restaurant and finally made it
back here where I spent the rest of the afternoon doing some leisurely carving.
I am carving a walking stick I picked up way back in Three rivers lake where I
found the Cyprus knees. It's a really neat piece of wood that looks like a old
man's face in the handle. I'll post a picture when I get it all done. For now,
I will just bid you Bonsoire.
I hope you have before and after pictures of your Walking sticks.. ( sorry if you've already posted I need to catch up on my reading.)
