SHIP'S LOG:
Well, Thanksgiving Day was special. Basically, it was just "old" folks around the table, sharing our aches and pains, proclaiming how good the food was (and it was!!!!!) and trying to not be overwhelmed by the "triptophane" (or however you spell it, you know, the chemical in turkey that makes you fall asleep) onslaught. Everyone had plenty of the first and it was sort of a "can-you-top-this" contest. Everyone proclaimed the greatness of the feast by consuming "mass quantities," or at least more that we were planning to when we got to the table. And while only my sister fell asleep, the rest of us did get pretty dozy.
My "Black Friday" Shopping spree was limited to a quick trip to Harbor Freight where I purchased three smallish blue-poly traps and some clothesline for covering the hatches on ABISHAG. I want to make an attempt to keep her as dry as possible inside to prevent the growth of any more mold. I found several products online that will do the job and all sorts of suggestions and processes to eliminate it in a "natural" way. Everything from bleach and ammonia(just DON'T Mix 'em) to borax and white distilled vinegar. It will have to wait in any case until March at the earliest unless spring comes very early. I am just getting a head start.
I'll be heading up early in the week to do my "Christmas Wrapping" as it is too cold today and tomorrow calls for rain. Not that I really trust NOAA, but tying lines and wrestling with tarps is something best do in above freezing temperatures and dry.
