Replaced the valve handles with stainless steel handles. Had to use the Dremel tool to cut off the old nuts. No more problems with failing the annual inspection due to the valve handle’s condition. Just to let any readers of this blog know (if there are any) that this will be the next to the last blog post on this website, as all future posts beginning the first of the year will be on Blogger. Information and explanation about that to be posted on tomorrow’s last post on this site.
Since the path of our around the world voyage will take us through the Panama Canal, I have been reading David McCullough’s opus about the building of the canal. While certainly not a quick read, it is definitely a most interesting read. Today I finished reading the 617th and final page and can recommend it to anyone planning a passage through the canal.
A 128 Day Grand World Voyage
In 10 days we will be embarking of one of those events that a person is likely to readily recall for the rest of their life, a 128 day cruise around the world. Since we first signed up for it some 10 plus months ago, hours beyond counting have gone into planning. preparing, revising and rerevising our plans and preparations for what has become a nearly all consuming undertaking.
As the days count down towards the ship departing Fort Lauderdale, Florida to begin the voyage I plan to post about some our preparations for the trip which will include, hopefully, some of the why’s, how’s and what’s.
Getting ready to go on a sea cruise, so needed to refresh my skills with the Shotcut video editor I have used during past travels. The result is a peek at what goes on in the backyard after dark as seen by our Blink cameras.
