Another Senior Moment
To all,
Oh oh, I had another senior moment. I made another boo boo. A day or two ago we were talking about whether the mast is up or down during winter storage. I made a statement that a travellift couldn't transport a sailboat with the mast in place.
I first realized my error when I read Mark Yashinsky's post. My realization was farther reinforced when I received two PMs from caring readers to notify me of my mistake. Thanks.
I don't know what I was thinking about when I wrote that. I know better than that.
Sorry, O J

No need for concern yet
OJ, Don't worry, it's not Alzheimers until you put your underwear in the freezer.

not to worry...
No worries, John! I would bet it's the same ailment I suffer from...'Oldtimerz'. Was thinking one time of maybe writing up a 'How to Cope with Oldtimerz' book, but I couldn't remember where I had put the Big Chief and the #2...or maybe the whole thing just came to mind now? Now where was I? heh

Don't Feel Bad
Got a tick bite with the bulls eye;
Just had a molar pulled;
Bird poop has ruined my main sail cover,
and
I put a quart of oil down the radiator fill tank.
Hey, but the flip side is that my grandchildren are coming for a visit!

Alzheimers
My Mom died from complications of Alzheimers, a horrible disease. Most of her sisters suffered as well; it's in that side of our family so my frequent 'senior moments' carry a special fear for me. But Mom had a great sense of humor and wouldn't mind me saying that "the one benefit of Alzheimers is that you get to meet so many new people".
Sail on,

There are old sailors and bold sailors, but there are no old, bold sailors.
Reef early and often. It's easier to shake out a reef when one is bored than it is to tuck one in when one is scared.
When your only tool is a hammer, all your problems look like nails.

I should have known this would strike a chord with someone. My sincere apologies if my first post offended anyone.
