Tomorrow, my bride and I will attend a Classical Guitar Concert in downtown Seattle. It will be mid day so an early dinner there will likely be the thing of choice.

Excellent question. We expect wind and rain when sun is up otherwise wind and snow when the sun is down.

Saturday and/or Sunday I will set up my 6" telescope with my Nikon D300 and attempt to get photos if this weekends atronomical event.

Google it if you are unaware! LOL! iF the photos come out well, I will share however I happen to know me personally and I know my attempts in the past have failed miserably! LOL!

More project work on the old girl, if I can stay down below and not look at how high the grass has grown already with such a warm winter.

Check the boat & dump the water from our last 3 snow storms, clean the garage & drain the outboard oil.

Saw the weather report for Miami - 80 degrees today. We better get some photos of you guys underway!

We had a wonderful time at the recital!
Our plans changed slightly. Instead of going and staying for dinner we went early. We had lunch at a great little mom and pop restaurant and then went to the recital. The young lady was beautiful and her playing was even better! We sat for an hour listening to her in a packed performance hall. There was zero electronics and zero microphones! Just this young lady and her guitar! Very cool! She even played on of my favorite songs!

Diane and I meandered home picking up pizza and spirits along the way and spent the evening catching up on movies, shows and each other!

I spent some $$$ on a program that will enable me to talk to my computer. So that my computer will do the typing an spealling for me. Typing an spalling are not my strong points, as you all know. My computer is a 2003 modal, so old an slow like me. So I got a new computer comming too. Hope that this will help on this forum

Say Chrysler20%26, If the software makes it more enjoyable and easier to you to write, great. I do enjoy your 'style' though. Your posts always come off as down to earth, interesting and generous. Some very famous writers (and even the guy who invented Scrabble, LMAO) were terrible spellers!

Personally, my Achilles heel when writing in these forums is staying on subject..... oops, I did it again!

Bruce your too kind, thank you . My ( Dragon Naturally Speaking 11.5 Home with Lifestyle Bonus Pack ) came yesterday, it needs wondows 7 to be instaled. So I have a ( HP Pavllon HPE h8xt ) comming on March 19. This should be a big help for an old guy that types with one finger an can,t speel eather. I hope to rent another slip, next to my slip. So that I can use both the C-20 an the C-26 this year. the registration on the C- 20 ( use is LIVERY which makes it a rental ) I may rent it out, wich would be better than just leting it sit under it's round shalter. I am to make my own rollfiring for it. Wich would make it a lot more fun, love that littel C- 20 the most fun I ever had on a boat. I hope you can find the time to stop by this year on your way North this year.

I would surely like that too. I usually get up there a right before Memorial Day to open up the cabin and evict the winter tenants (mice or whatever!

) before all the womens come up. I'll give you a buzz this year before we start and maybe we can get together for a bit of sail chat. I still have your number. I hope to have my keel patched up by then and have the 20 in tow for a bit of spring sailing (weather permitting). If our current weather patterns continue, it should be in the mid 70's around that time, unless Michigan winter decides to begin in May this year! Have fun on the new PC!
