OMG

Isn't it funny how once you learn something it becomes integrated into your life? Just a few days ago I became acqainted with the text message phrase "OMG." As luck would have I proceeded to lose $800 in cash that was contained in one of those little bank envelopes along with my driver's license and ATM card. Having just left the bank enroute to register SPRAY, then pay a friend for the work he did on her, I felt good that I had the money to pay off these little ditties..

Confused again

Here I am confused again. I was grazing my blog profile and other pages I am not always sure how I navigate to. None the less, a pop up box asked if I wanted to share my blog post on Face Book. Though I have two Face Book accounts, one under my name and the other under a boat I race (Fast Lane), neither are up to date.

"B43 #19 has had similar issues but easily resolved by; 1.) adjusting latchhead to proper position then; 2.) tightening backing nut.  Have not had to do this with middle seat but there is a backing nut on latch. You have to be a contortionist…"

"I have no idea! Maybe you can call Beneteau with your manufacture's Identification Number and Beneteau can give you the hull number."
