As most of you know
"I've got a problem!" the bourbon evaporates quicker as the weather getz warmer!
This is a common problem and one that can be rectified by returning to Townsville for a refill of Felixxer.
The tiling in Perth is reaching a definitive point where it can be left until my return early in the new year when the downstairs area is also ready.
With this stage complete my desire to get the Yot underway again has returned, lotz of things on Galleycat need 2B finished B4 I head towards the Whitsunday's with Torsten.
So Late next week I'll jet off again bak to my life on the Yot with a renewed outlook on life and a "little" hope returning to my world.
The lawyer type people were here today finalising the family court documents to regain contact with Cameron.
So itz a positive day all round.
Plus itz a Friday and the means I actually have to "buy" a bottle of bourbon!The bathroom is looking really good with just final cutz needed to complete the main area's.
The cabinet guy will bring the vanity middle of next week so I can finish the trims and mirror.
Then I'm estimating around 18-25kgs of grout needz to be applied and cleaned off the surfaces.
Only then will my job be complete and I'll head back to prepare for the yard Xmas party.
I'm hoping to stay awake longer this year with a dismal effort last year of 8pm. Lydern, Patricia and I stayed awake until 2.30 am the night B4 preparing platters of food.
"Life" is sumthing I'd forgotten about, itz taken this trip 2 remind me of all the things I'd left behind.
I don't mean the good things like family and friends but the over powering "negatives of life".
I don't miss the traffic, phones, sirens, constant deadlines, traffic litez, wind, noise and perceived expectations(wkoa) truly these facets of day 2 day life I'd managed to remove in my new life and as such had forgotten.
The rest of you can have these thingz all to yourselves, me I prefer sun, water, tropical islands and yes even the fibreglass dust (in moderation).
I'm renewed reinvigorated and ready to "complete" Galleycat and continue with my quest to find an even more tranquil existence.
I still have commitmintz to Family and Cameron but I've now said my goodbyes to most others, I realized during my dark thymes that I hadn't said my Goodbyes! this is something I've now rectified and when the thyme comes I can rest in peace.My task of tiling is by no means complete, in fact itz not more than a quarter done. But the other trades need thyme 2 do their thing so I'll be back when the area is ready "and" the fishing is open!
Huge area's of the downstairs is 2B tilied with large floor tiles and another bathroom, powder room and toilet plus laundry as well. So I'm thinking 2-3 months for the next stint and then if all goes well and itz meant 2B I'll complete the task then join Andy and Jemma to transfer a Yot from Mandurah back to Townsville.
Big Ash and I spent last Wednesday evening on the Mandurah estuary looking over "Cat Loose" for Andy. After this was complete we didn't waste the opportunity to have a fish!
Every "MULIE' (not pilchard) was met by a ravenous Tailor bite. So much so that we went 1 for 1 with bait to fish for around 2 hours just after dark.
We ended the nite at a far more sensible hour this thyme and were both home B4 midnite!
My efforts to procure a Powerdive unit for the Yot are coming along with several visits to their outlet on Stirling Highway. The unit itself seems to of passed all of my test criteria and they have been very helpful with regards to any long term faults I might encounter.This Summer period should be one of Joy and Happiness with the addition of the Powerdive plus the upgrades made to Galleycat during the year I'm hoping for a "Life changing" period thatz been made better already with Big Ash and Kenny both confirming they'll be joining me in The Whitsundays.
That all for this entry
