And On It Goes!

SHIP'S LOG:

     Well, I was able to get a good friend to haul me from Griswold to New London yesterday in time for Red Cross Certification Class at TYC. It was rather unsettling to find that lots of the procedures for First Aid that I struggled so hard to learn as a Boy Scout so many years ago are no longer used. Some are no considered merely a waste of effort and others are now seen as doing actual damage to the person you are trying to help! It was the hope of all of us who were taking the class that we would never have cause to use any of the procedures we learned. Luckily for me, one of my classmates lives  close enough to Griswold that it was terribly out of his way to take me home. It would have been one hell of a long walk!

     AAA came this morning and picked up the P.O.S. and hauled it away to Stop'N'Go Transmission in Groton. It is not that i suspect that it is a transmission problem, rather that the owner, Joel, is a friend and years ago I performed his wedding. And since he is still happily married, he is still a good friend. He, or one of the guys in his shop, will be able to handle pretty much anything that needs doing and hopefully at a very friendly fee. Considering the money I have got to lay out to get the sails back from the sail-maker and ABISHAG out of the boatyard, I am going to be hard stretched to cover expenses. In a month or so, I will be bringing in a few ducats from running the launch and cleaning the club house at TYC, but that is still in the future. Hopefully, until that time,  Publisher's Clearing House will finally find me with their Prize Patrol and help me out at least a little  bit.
