Boating Updates

We spent Thursday through Sunday on the boat.  We had to work on Friday but I had a work party Thursday night 10 minutes from the boat so we decided to stay on the boat.  Saturday we got one of our friends to come by and give us some pointers on engine maintenance, changing filters and various other mechanical things.  Matt put all the cupboard handles back on (he took them off to paint them as the faux woodgrain was wearing off) and we did a few other minor maintenance items.

We had dinner at the club Friday and went to the club Christmas party Saturday.  I am not sure if I mentioned, when we were in San Francisco for Matt's company Christmas party we stayed at the Argonaut Hotel and the bartender there gave us all a round of shots he called "Whoa Nellie."  We googled that and came up with a different drink from what he was making us.  He said it had Vodka, Whiskey, Amarreto and Pineapple Juice.  Let me tell you, they went down easy.  We told the bartender at the club how to make them on Friday, then Saturday we gave him a "holiday tip."  I guess he really appreciated the tip as every time we turned around he had made us another round of "Whoa Nellies".  Sunday morning I was in the WORST mood and I can only figure I was hung over from all the whiskey.  BLUCK.  They sure taste good though.  Luckily we had no plans for the day and we packed up all of our stuff (laundry and such) and headed home to watch some football. 

We put the name and logo on the back of the boat the other day.  The old name and hailing port still show but oh well.
