okay, hold that thought, more on him later.....

Found our bottom paint in Daytona and now we're waiting for a painter.....

what's it like living in a boatyard?   Imagine your beautiful 3 bedroom 2 bath home.  And your beautiful, lush green yard.  Now, picture it on blocks 15 feet in the air.  Your yard has turned to sand and the wind is blowing forty miles per hour.  But, you can still use it, you just have to climb a 12 foot stepladder to get inside.  And, you can still use your refrigerator, just one third of it.  Which is all there is on a boat to begin with.  And, you can use a fan.  (but if you use them together you have to climb down the ladder two or three times a day to switch the breaker back on when you blow the power.  You can't use your hot water heater.  But no reason to because you can't run water or use the shower.  They are just a short walk away.  Down your ladder and across the sand dunes.......It's kind of like that.  

Anyway, there was a great movie once -it's probably still there.  Harry In Your Pocket.  James Coburn.  Anyway, Harry was a pickpocket.  Harry had one rule - "Harry doesn't hold."  Meaning, once he picked your pocket, he immediately passed your wallet off to someone else.  The cops grabbed him several times, but he didn't have the goods.  He passed them off.  Because, Harry doesn't hold.  Anyway, living in a boat yard is a lot like camping.  And "Ed Doesn't Camp."  Look for it in theaters soon.....

So, we're stranded on the space coast, may as well go watch NASA launch the rockets.  So we go to the space walk to watch the 646 (1846) launch and at 620 (1820) this guy in a green shirt with patches sewn on his shirt of every CPR class he's ever attended and, looking disturbingly like the guy above from Men in Black suddenly stands up and yells (YELLS) SCRUBBBBBBBBED!!!!!!!  He looked official, but I checked with Mr Google anyway.  Took Mr Google ten minutes to tell me the launch had been rescheduled for tomorrow night.  I guess Mr Greenshirt knew something.  Or he was an alien who has fooled us all.
