LOL.....I have a mate who went in for vein clearance due to bad circulation in his lower legs and one of his feet, someone sent him a single slipper in a gift wrapped box

Geez, thorn, I hope you get better soon.

Makes me feel bad to say I spent most of the day on Lake Texoma with my dad and my little sister. It was a beautiful day for sailing, though. We anchored off one of the islands to watch the fireworks show and light a few of our own before going back to the marina for the dock party.

If it makes you feel better, I didn't get any beer at the party (babysitting) and we ran aground twice(shoulders still aching from rocking the boat off sandbars). We also broke our jib furler in big gust

That sucks man! Running aground is not good! Did it do damage to your boat?

Nah, it was just mud, and the boat has a swing-keel configuration. We've damaged it by hitting submerged rocks before but I'm sure you don't want hear about any subject like that for a long time

Well, I visited my mother at the rehab place, and then came home. The end.

Yeah, no more rock stories!

Glad your boat is not messed up though!

A little humor in these situations is actually nice. I didn't mind the balloons or flowers. I wanted to laugh about it all myself but it just hurt too much. I got a string hanging out of my boy for God's sakes! It's like a mangina!!! How ridiculous is THAT!! HAHAHA!!!
