Finally Friday!

A grueling week ended with a bang – my tax return e-filing instructions – and the CPA’s bill – greeted me in the mailbox tonight when I returned from having dinner with a friend.  Bad news is that I owe some hard earned money to Uncle Sam.  G…

Just a few email exchanges today

Sorry folks, but the call Tom B. and I were supposed to have couldn’t take place today, despite 3 attempts to keep moving the time up.  Work started with a lot of drama and ended pretty much the same way.  I hate when work gets in the way of …

My head is spinning…

How can my head be spinning without a conference call to blame?  Email is a powerful tool, designed to evoke feelings of madness, loss of control and paranoia.Such was the state of affairs today.  It all began with an email sent by yours trul…

Anchors away..

Today’s conference call had to be accomplished in 30 minutes to accommodate our schedules.  So we were done in 45 minutes, not bad for so many big topics.I have to tell you that it is far easier to discuss granite and sinks than anchors and electr…

Day Off Today

My decision-making activities got the day off today.  Well deserved, I might add.Since there really is always something to think about where boat building is concerned, I did visit the Lebroc website and read up on all the styles of helm chairs of…

Cruising Right Along

Another successful conference call today with a most patient and encouraging KKY guru.Somehow, with the help of plan drawings (they give me the hiccups), pictures of other boats and a lot of help from Tom B., the following decisions were made today – a…

Day off from boat decisions

Though I didn’t make any boat decisions today, a 6 pm email from KKY set my thought processes in motion.Since the interior of this boat will be a brand new design, there are some changes that will occur without precedent.  Since I am totally inept…
