Flower beds

Well good morning to all.All things here or a go (lol) I still will be working on the raised beds here at my daughters house. I have to finish up today cause tomorrow Will be going over to my other daughters hose for the day and head back to the Carried Michelle and start my week out. This week I will consecrate on the guessit and then move on to something else. Other then that all is well. Have relley enjoyed my visit even those Icon not do that hevey work lie I use to. I guess that comes with the age thing.

It sure feels good to take a day or two off from the Carried Michelle. This way it breaks the rutine and makes the days go by easier. Anyway I am looking forward to getting back and start working back on the boat. The best thing now is I am way on the downhill side of the work. I am thinking that I will have her in the water some time next month and start testing out everything on the boat.

Well unfit next posting have a great day,
Harold

Trip was nice

Good morning to all. Well yesterday I had a great drive to my daughters house. It could not have been any better weather then it was. Nice and clear,no rain just good weather.

Yesterday after I got here we went to this place called Jimmy Johnson and had lunch and was it in good. This place is a sandwich shop and the dressing is what makes the sandwich. I had there 0#11 witch has turkey, ham,two types of chess,and the lettuce tomato thing,plus sprouts and it was good.

After 8eatting wee went to Clowes and bought 48 landscape timbers so I Gould build her flower beds. We also got 64 bags of potting soil,good thing it was on sale. So today I will get it cut up and maybe start putting them together sometime today. Other then that I think I will be busy for today.

I would like to ask you to pray for my son in laws family as his brother had a Massey stroke Wednesday morning and he has been in a coma ever since and it looks like there is no hope there either. So I ask to keep him in your prayers.

Until next posting have a great day and may God bless you,

I have been

Good morning to all. Well we or in for some ruff weather here in So.Texas today. The red flag is out for today which means the wind gust will be over thirty miles per hour. Well we really need the rain but we do not need all the wind. But sometimes the wind comes with the rain so it is a trade off.

Well I have been blessed these past few days. Like I meet this guy and his wife and was talking to them about what I was doing. I told them about how I was rebuilding the Carrie Michelle and they thought it was neat. Well the next thing I new they were here to look at the boat. They looked at it and was really impressed with it and wanted my blog address and then here came the blessing. They had an boat they were parting out and wanted to know what I told them. So the blessing poured out then , they gave a windless winch that cost over1,200. when it was new, but it was in great shape. I also got a fly bridge windshield with its frame, and the last thing was  just get what ever you can use they said. So that was my blessing.

Well today will be a good day I  am hoping to get a bit done due to I am going to my daughters for the weekend. so for the next few days I will be on the road and will not be doing anything on the Carrie Michelle.

Until next posting have a great day,

Gussetts or made

Funny looking sky

Well good morning to all. Yesterday was pretty good on the Carrie Michelle as I got all the gussets made and ready to be installed into place. Frist thing that I have to do is to remove all the tanks so I can get them installed and fiber glassed into place. Hopefully this will be the last time that all the tanks need to be removed. But all this was created when we modified the mounting brackets. That is ok cause it will all work out for the best.

I also finished up mounting the new antenna by mounting the stand off braked. So that was about it for yesterday and today I will start removing the tanks.
So that is it until posting,

What a good week here

Will the week finished up on an upswing. Just had one bad day and that was taking Shirley to the airport. But all things happen for a reason so they say and it has happen here. I got my other motor today and it is already in the shop getting checked out. Do not want any troubles down the road or should I say done the rivers. So now I have a pair of Evinrude 130's to cruse with So that should move me right on down the water ways, what a blessing it was to get them. The best thing they were under budget also and that really was a blessing

Well today was a good day, like I said got the other motor and it is in the shop getting checked out and a new water pump installed in it.

Radio on fly bridge

 I did mange to get the fly bridge radio installed, wired, and tested out. It works loud and clear as to a tug caption.

New Antenna

In stalled the new antenna that came in this morning, tomorrow I will hook it up to the helm radio and see what happens.

Fuel filter housing

 After the antenna installation I installed two fuel filter housing.

Fly bridge gauges

 This afternoon I installed new gauges on the fly bridge consol. That was about it for today. Until next posting have a great eveningHarold

Good Day Here

Well good evening to all,
Well today was a fairly good day here on the Carrie Michelle. I got one of the radios installed completely with antenna and wired up. I did manage to talk to a couple of tug boat captain's and got the oke doke on the radio. That's means it was loud and clear ( lol ).

The main thing that got done today was I got the motor over to the shop to start the rebuild on it. Also the welder should be thru with the motor mounting brackets ( I hope ).Tomorrow should be a pretty good day here. I am hoping that I can get the gussets done and the stiff back installed also.

Also today one of my antennas came in too, along with a Tech, and two key switches. So as for as something to do I still have plenty to do, it just depends on witch way I turn is to where I start. So therefore I am not short on work here.

Harbor Shot

Well until next posting have a great day,

I have a motor

Wow! What a great day it was yesterday. The welder came and started on the motor mounts and that job is under way now. He should be thru sometime today. What a blessing it will be.

The best thing that could have happen did. A blessing fro God was drop on me yesterday and what a blessing it was. The blessing was I got my first motor yesterday and have a prospect on another one today. So this morning My good friend Wesley and I or going to go and look at it. It just shows all things happen for a reason and we can not control them. I have been waiting to sale my motor home so I could buy the motors and that has not happen yet, But I took Shirley to the airport yesterday morning cause she said this boat life was not for her which is understandable for she is close to her kids, but I am sorry it wound up that way. Then yesterday morning I get this call about this motor and Wesley and I go and look and it and bingo it is in the back of my truck now. So hopefully the welder finishes up today and we can mount the motor.

So that is my good news for today. Until next posting have a blessed day,
Harold
