That's a good way. Another is to use plastic wall anchors-the kind used to hold screws in drywall. My canvas guy down here showed me that one several years ago.

The hoo fishing in our part of the Bahamas has been great too. Marlin, esp stripies, fair to good. Oddly, YFT, not so much.

Your prop(s) is "singing". You can have any good prop shop put an anti-sing edges on it. Very common and easy fix.

I try to help people. That said, I don't believe there is any helping Mr. JoeMc44. As I said, more problems than a calculus book. PS, the wind is CRANKING down here. I have never seen a pre-summer blow like this in all my time down here. However, I don't think I want to spend any more time "up country" than I have to. Boston on the radar for late August.

Thx CC, great to be home, but WOW, we've gotten some crazy rain. Cisterns are all topped off tho, the plants are soaking it all in and should green up nicely, so that's a good thing.

6:30 am, 1 May and off to Logan for a JB flight to FLL, then Yellow Air Taxi to Marsh for a hop back to GTC. 42 degrees on May first? See ya!

So, I was out for my run early this morning and passed by a Sprint store, which was not yet open but had TONS of ads in the window for the new S5, I am intrigued given that I still have an S3. So I stroll from the Lenox down Boylston to the store this morning and got one. WOW, what a major upgrade. I highly recommend this thing-amazing features. The rep said I was only the 7th person to get one but they expect to get mobbed today. Weather is unreal today.

Nice the last couple of days though. Training for Boston, running as a Bandit. Hoping to break 4:30. Have done it twice this winter, so I'm hoping for a nice cool, overcast day.

I haven't spent this much time in Boston in winter in over 25 years. All I can say is wow, I don't miss this stuff! Awakening to what the meteorologists call a "wintry mix"-aka slush, snow, rain and sleet-I really miss Paradise. No run this morning. As a colleague said to me today, "Welcome to January 90th, 2014!!!"

I wanted to post a shout out to Jim, Eric and the staff at BOE Electronics for helping me choose a replacement chartplotter/fish finder for my finally-rehabbed flats boat. Looking forward to receiving the Garmin 741XS soon. Excellent pricing, very helpful staff.

Oh look, my little stalker has brought his miserable countenance topside. Wiley, at what point are you going to put this psychological cripple down?

I can't figure out how to post my picture here, so I'll post this one from their FB page. If you look real closely, you can see my squares. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152227305876882&set=pcb.10152227306601882&type=1&theater

They certainly were disappointing. I don't know that I've ever seen a more boring football game. Denver never looked to be in trouble. Seattle beats Denver 27-20 in the SB.

You nailed it Wiley. I like New England beating Denver by 4, 31-27 and Seattle over San Fran in a dog fight, 24-17.

I went 3 for 4 this weekend. Sitting in 4th place in the playoff pool we have going here. Next weekend picks are New England, Denver, Seattle and Carolina.

En route Nipper's for Sunday Happy Hour party. Best in the islands!!!!!!

Skip the bikini.

That is some funny stuff right there.

Nice boat. One of my neighbors here on GTC has one and it's very versatile.

Looking forward to it. I will be in Miami for a conference the week prior.

Looks like an Owens. They were on the vanguard of switching from lapstrakes.

Good, see you there JoeMc44, did you enjoy the book?

I am fairly certain that I can outrun a prius.

The doctor will be in. As yet, travel plans aren't cast in stone but we hope to be making our way from GTC to FLL on the boat mid-week, visiting friends and family, then head to MIA for the show, then a long flight north to visit my son at Dartmouth in cold, unforgiving NH. It will be a few weeks of contrast, to be sure.
