He lifted a floor panel, reached into the engine room, and manually pulled the fuel cut-off switch - the relay usually does that, but one of the wires broke.
The vast majority of the work is out of sight, but we did have all the teak redone and had the topsides compounded and polished. It’s the best it’s looked since we bought it, and probably for many years before.
FCD isn’t a big fan of garlic, but I’ll still use it, tho conservatively. He has yet to not eat.
Semi-related - Roxy’s “fiance” has 2 moms. Tobias is OK with that, but when I said something about having 3 moms, he laughed and laughed!
Add caring for a kid to that and you have a peek into 18 years of my life. But we do what we must…
FCD had a boss who all but forced his employees to take 2 weeks of vacation at a time because it took a week just to relax enough to enjoy the second week. That was a great company, which, sadly, no longer exists.
It’s been raining pretty steadily, so I shan’t be working in the yard. I did venture out to fling some clover seeds about. Then while I was on my grocery run, a certain canine took it upon himself to empty three wastebaskets. I know why he went for FCD’s - there was food leavin’s within… OK 'nanner peels, but still. The other two, on the other hand, just had paper - tissues, napkins, miscellaneous papers. So I came home to a chore. Idiot dog.
I scored some 80% ground beef and a poke tenderloin from the used meat pile. I’ve now got two meatloaves in the freezer and we’re having the poke for supper.
FCD is home from the boat - he’s going out to his shop after lunch to futz with the relay. I’m running the ice maker thru the cleaning cycle. Beyond that, dunno what I’ll do. He did say we should take a week on the boat, so I may pull out the chart pack and start planning.
