Verdicts IN

Our Transmission has been declared dead. Grace C will be having surgery in the next couple of days as soon as the new rebuilt one is here from Connecticut. In order to accomplish the appendectomy the whole transmission has to be extracted from the bowels of the boat. She will be raised on a hoist and the operation should take about 4 hours and about 4 hour to put back.
To pass the hours waiting the women went to get groceries with Larry in the Courtesy Car. FM and the Captain feel asleep sometime in the afternoon and did not wake up until 6:30 p.m.
Filled the water tanks and made dinner. Maxine invited us to the Addonroom to watch a movie.
Nice Butt ordered some parts so they may not get underway until after tomorrow.

At least you are looking on the brightside with a little humour.Hopefully all will go smoothly during surgery. As Brenda mentioned it sounds like farming!@!!We survived the birthday party of the 10 year old who was born at 10.10 and weighed 10.10. Life goes on
