On the bright side, tomorrow is the last Friday I have to work until after Labor Day. I negotiated a deal with my manager that lets me work four day weeks for the summer (as well as take the first week of July off...and another week off in August). I haven't had any real time off for 12 years, so I'm sort of making up for lost time.
The bad news is that Saturday looks like rain and thunderstorms. The good news is that I have a retinal exam scheduled for Saturday morning (dilation, etc) so I wouldn't be able to sail anyway, what with my eyes being as wide as a loris on meth from the dilation. I figure when I can finally see again I'll use Saturday to get the new ignition switch from MerriMar, then head out to West Marine and buy a spare impeller for the raw water pump, seeing as I used the spare one I had on hand. I also need to buy some food (non-perishables), paper plates, silverware, tea pot, pots and pans, etc to stock the galley. I'm leaning towards a french press for my coffee-making requirement.
[Judging from the weather forecast, it looks like I'll need to add raingear to the list!]
Sunday I'll put the ignition switch in, sail for a few hours, motor over to Bridge Marina to fill the tanks...and then we'll be ready, her and I, for whatever adventures await.
