Today started out at Memaws Restaurant putting on an eating exhibition for the local folks. Eggs,bacon,grits,toast and a couple of pancakes. Lloyd bought me a couple of 10′ lengths of 1″ pvc pipe. The gift that keeps on giving. We tied one end of one section to the bow cleat and the other to the bulkhead and repeated that on the stern. I hate that I didn’t take a picture. Now the boat is out from under most of the tree limbs and looks good for my trip north. I am going by train. Palatka,FL-Smithfield,NC with a 2-1/2 hour layover in Raleigh. It leaves tonight at 9:15 and the trip ends tomorrow at noon. Marvin is going to pick me up if he remembers. His Blackberry could run out of batteries and Smithfield would be my new home. When I get back down here I would love some suggestions on how to keep this site interesting. One of my tee shirts says “If Jimmy cracks corn and nobody cares, why is there a song about it?”. Really makes you think. Today on Towndock the quote was “Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to continually be part of unanimity.” I like that too.
