slow down

Working on my fuel line a couple weeks ago triggered a flareup that I'm still recovering from. The flareup made me sick (look up the physiological relationship of stress to illness) so I'm still under the weather, but I came back anyway because I was too homesick. Arthur too; he loves it here.

Yesterday's big accomplishment: I turned the undersink cabinet's door around, so it opens the right way. This means I don't have to take it off when I need to work on the engine or the plumbing. Of course, it's a bit crooked now, but the latch lines up and it opens all the way, so who cares. Note to self: be more careful about lining up cabinetry. Errors show.

Paul came over to help me get started on the AC wiring. Between Paul Standard Time, Isy Standard Time, and Marina Standard Time, that didn't happen, but Cathy and Fran came over and we had a great dinner. Today I loaned Paul "Sailboat Electrics Simplified," full of helpful charts and comments on the difference between marine and dry-land wiring, so I'll call that progress.

I dropped my laptop stepping onto the boat. It leaped out of the backpack and committed hari kiri right there in front of me. Awful. So much for bobbing about in a hurry.
