0716, Sun, 041413.  La Paz.

 

Just another day hanging around on Neos.  We did run into the broker the other day.  She mentioned she had a friend down in Panama area with a 120 foot yacht who had a friend looking for a catamaran so she sent of the information on Neos.  We told her that sounded good and to keep it up.

Sue and I spent the morning scanning the photos of my parents in the early 1940's.  Remember those stupid paper corners we used to hold the pictures on the page?  What a nuisance.  I would remove the pics, hand them to Sue to scan and then repaste the corners that had come off and return the pics to the correct spot in the album.  Project done!  Now Sue has to use Picasa to clean them up.

I have finally finished with all of my little notes and penciling in of information gained over the years on family genealogy.  It is all in the computer, finally.  Now I need to reach out to family members to get updates on some of the young 'uns in the tree and then I should be already to scout out any info on the old folks.  Upon entering in names I was notified that I reached the 300 people list which entitles me to put the tree on some sort of register.  I'll look into that when I get back to living on land.

We thought we had the chain galvanization project all lined up but after meeting with the delivery guy he sent us a bid that seems high.  Sue said we could rent a truck and do it ourselves for that price.  If it wasn't for my reluctance of driving around in Mexico I would certainly consider that.  We spent several hours deciphering the bid, in Spanish of course, but also in metrics.  Lots of converting and punching numbers on the computer.

The movie last night was the newer version of Total Recall.  It was well done.  It doesn't seem like the first one came out that long ago with ole Arnie, but Sue reminded me it was probably in the eighties.  Well, what can I tell ya, ha……more later..
