. . . . .Ummmm!!! Nummers!!! New ethnic taste treat courtesy of our Filipino galley staff. . . . fish eyes and fish eggs cooked up in their own broth!. . . .Oh Boy!

 

 

. . . . . .Day 2: Broken bird on landing pad had a fire, that was the minor problem. Two mechanics brought out by boat last night looked younger than my neice's son, not confidence inspiring. Neither was the process of (a) work on engine for a while (b) run downstairs to frantically dial an outside line and get instructions (c) run back upstairs and work a while more (d) repeat process endlessly throughout evening. Finally quit working around midnight, how do I know? Guess who mechanics were berthed with? I'm having sooooo much luck.

Dawn breaks, a new day, fresh start, fresh perspective, it'll be all different now. . . .it is. . . .another broken bird back on the beach . . . .guess it was lonely. . . .Mechanics start new round of (a) work on engine (b) run downstairs, make phone call, wait for fax (c) run back upstairs to work some more (d) repeat process in endless loop all morning long.

Confidence factor in human ability for flight with mechanical assistance:

ABYSMALLY LOW!!!!

 

. . . . .Cravings and urges for chocolate milkshake and root beer float continue unabated, now joined for unbelieveable hunger for some of my own spaghetti sauce.

 

. . . .Youngest son e-mailed me his grades this morning, God I'm proud of him.

 

. . . .Back to politics I suppose soon, Bernanke testifying in front of Congress this morning, results of the stress tests not good, 10 of 19 banks will need capital. That sucks.
