The three C's

 

 

 

 

 

 

Every one's heard of the three C's to a successful relationship,  if you haven't, this could really help.  Today My bride of about 30 years returns to the US where we will start a new chapter in our lives.  For the first time we will live together 24/7 which is something we've never done.  I am usually gone about 3 months a year working on my projects.  Shown here packing out is my final inbound flight to the US from England. I will miss the outstanding service on a flight that I've taken a dozen times.
 As I relax in business class I gave a lot of thought to this adjustment we will both have to make.  I truly believe the secret is in the 3 C's and that's all I will ever ask of Julie.  Cook, Clean, and Comply,,,It's just that simple.  I will do all the rest no matter what it will be.  She might want to add something to that but it just won't be necessary.  So this evening when I pick Julie up at Phoenix Sky harbor, she will began a one year break from her busy and stressful career.  It will be huge comfort to her when she finds out that I've totally removed any and all stress from our lives going forward.

Now that we will be living at our Lake home for the summer we need a boat on the lift.  We sold our last boat 4 years ago as we weren't there enough to use it much.   I searched on-line while in London and found this 2000, 266 Crownline with only 106 total hours on it, in Sacramento California.  I flew into Sacramento this spring and did a test run on Folsom lake.  A full mechanical check sorted our a few issues so then I bought it.  We needed a boat that was big enough to overnight on but would still work fine for day use, fishing and skiing etc.  A covered bow and a plenty of  power is important on this lake where rough weather can happen on any day.  This boat is 26 ft long with a big block motor and weights 4700 lbs dry.  The fuel tank is 75 gallons so with a few people and gear this will be all our 6,000 pound lift can handle.  Our garage is deep enough to store this inside during the winter months.  Skimpy bikini's get free rides.
