I know how I feel but Chuck Wendig says it so much better than I can so you should read his take on this whole damn clusterfuck. For the future, as it stands, VolksCruiser is going to be mostly about lifeboats and getting gone. Deal with that however you care to.
So, less than a week till we see whether the current ball of airborne excrement hits the rotating blades or not, Which, when you think about it, is not all that different than what we do every day during “H” season which is, mostly, just wait and hope. Just for the record the whole wait …
I’m having a lot of trouble keeping my mind on boat jobs I need to be doing. While I should be building a new dodger, sorting out needful spares for Yanmar, chasing down that mystery leak that’s driving me nuts but my mind always seems to be somewhere else… Like wondering how nearly 50% of …
