In the world of engine repair and maintenance, I have had a little exposure to the combustible engine since my first conveyance -- a '79 Malibu station wagon. I wish I had pictures to show you that vehicle. Regardless, with the help of our neighbor, I was able to change the oil, oil filter, in-line fuel filter, fuel water separator and spark plugs prior to my successful run and fishing trip this weekend. I am happy to say that I had several bites, and our good friend and neighbor Don caught a 27' red fish. This picture doesn't bring the color of such a beautiful fish to life.
I was able to practice and understand the technique of using a push-pole in foot deep water or less. It was a lot of fun. After pricing out a bow mounted trolling moter ($1,000 installed), I am resigned to learn how to use a push-pole to get to where we need to be, quietly and efficiently. Generations of Floridians have used them, why not me as well.
Yep, Kathleen is still working very hard and moves in many directions daily. She really enjoys her job, the people she works with, and the atmosphere. She is acclimating to her commute to and from work. Three months into her job and all is well.
Nathaniel is working on speaking and climbing in equal proportions. He is also becoming an excellent problem solver, especailly in situations where he really wants something and there are several obstacles in the way.
We take him to the beach every weekend. If we arrive between 10 and 11 in the morning, the weather and sun are more agreeable. Nat really likes to play in the sand and surf. He also enjoys the floating in Mom or Dad's arms, but gets bored easily. Then, we towel off and hit a small diner overlooking the intercoastal. It is a wonderful getaway and typifies a vacation day spent in Florida.
Nat enjoys riding in his bike seat and every night we try to get a half-hour of pedaling in before it gets dark. The bugs are too bad to take a walk and the breeze from riding a bike helps to cool us.
We are having a wonderful summer and hope that you are too.
Be well,
Michael
