Ordered (with a Groupon) some Eckobrew refillable Kcups for the Keurig coffee maker the shore and boy captain enjoy. Saving the environment and money are the key points but apparently it makes a nice strong cup of coffee as a bonus. Now if they can just remember to put the cup under the stream of coffee all will be good.
Tomorrow morning I am heading on with a friend to tackle some errands. Good way to spend a predicted rainy a.m. Not as long a journey as some I've taken but sure to be enjoyable. For those longer jaunts I found a great advertisement for those wishing to avoid luggage but still wanting to take it all with you - reminds me of wearing all eight pairs of your underwear for the trip one over the other:
And the stats point to the fact that luggage DOES go missing as we all knew:
Now breaking all the adult ed/prep rules I am recommending a link here for those interested in travel photography. Disclaimer - I haven't tried to download or use these ebooks but they sure look good and are advertised as free so....
And if you're thinking of traveling, the destinations might as well be at least somewhat exotic such as:
And yes we are already thinking of a fall trip as we move into the later part of our short but sweet summer. Not likely be too exotic as the shore captain will be wrapped up in preparations for lobstering but ten to twelve stolen days in the Caribbean will still be great in November.
Actually the poor shore captain could use some downtime this week with the way his luck has been running. Since this is the week of full tides he's been doing maintenance on the boat and slipped on the curb catching himself underneath his ribs. Didn't think he'd broken them (did that before so knows what it feels like) no difficulty breathing but it sure was painful to move so likely a soft tissue injury. And actually he is feeling much better today. The same afternoon the large freezer malfunctioned and the refrigeration tech spent the day attempting to find/scavenge a part, even driving to the city but no luck. So this meant turning on two other freezers and transferring 10,000 lbs of bait and 200 tubs of trawl to alternate cold storage - not a small job. Then apparently something that was on the bottom of the boat he was working on - sounded like it was associated with the wheel, fell off striking him on the forehead and leaving a large scrape. Life in the fast lane.
Now speaking of catching up on sleep, I offer the following info to encourage you to GO TO BED:
Taking my own advice, gotta be on my game for a Frenchy's shop. All kinds of plans for the next four days off. Later.
