I am in Baltimore at the moment.. Boat is Florida registered and I am a resident.. took a nursing contract up here..
Ya know.. this is just over the top...last night I heard that crrrruuunnnch..I was asleep, I instantly sorta kinka woke up.. sat up and slammed my head into the overhead.. swung around and slid off the bed and put my left foot in the icky litterbox.. sorta stumbled into the main salon and found nothing.. Today I got out in the dingy that I sat ON the ice till I got in it and it sorta kinda fell through the ice.. with an hatchet and chopped ice from around the boat. Of course it will be frozen again by morning.. at least I will have a night witouth that awesome crunch sound. Thank goodness she is 44 yrs old and built to withstand this sort of stuff.. My goal, now is to be home for hurricane season.. it is the only season to be IN florida for..(joke) On Sun, Jan 25, 2009 at 9:35 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > > naw...its just to damn cold to comment.... besides I am iced in...this is > > just too wierd..
