An Update From Deb...

Wednesday

Hi to All!

This is Deb. Thought I'd try to get a word in edgewise on this thing!

Originally this was going to be my job but I just can't seem to get up earlier than BK! He's really gotten into this "Captain's Log" idea, and actually, it's kind of interesting to hear his take on all this travelling stuff. I'm still keeping a journal of my own and it will be interesting to compare notes at the end of the trip. So far it's been a great time, aside from the engine trouble. But the boys don't seem to be THAT concerned so Donna & I are taking our cue from them. Yesterday when the trouble escalated, Donna & I went out on the bow of the boat with our lawn chairs, the box of life jackets (footstool), big mugs of Mudslides, & trashy novels.

At least 50% of this crew is still on vacation! It was another cloudless day & 87 degrees. Yes, we put our sunscreen on! The scenery along the river is pretty steady, just a wide, twisty, shallow, muddy river with flood plain on each side. You can see a band of younger trees near the water, then more mature trees behind those. Must be because of that big flood years back. I guess nature takes care of itself.

Bob has been up for awhile, I just got up at 7:15, the Double D's are still sleeping (it's 8am), and we're just waiting for a call from someone saying the helicopter hauling Detroit Diesel's top mechanic is on it's way -

"Where can I land this thing?" I'm thinking (in my "just a grunt-worker"
opinion) "Hey! We've got another engine don't we? What's the problem?"
HA!

Well, I need to go wash my hair and since we're conserving water, I'm allowed one cup. It may take some doing! Where's "Mini-Poo" when you need it?

P.S. Beccah - Make sure you clean up after your parties! (& shake hands)
