Wikipedia says....The plant contains glycosides and may be toxic to humans I guess the alcohol kills it's toxicity? LOL

Wayne, I would say that you all are almost spitting images of your old man. And from what I can tell, you carry the same vibrant, positive attitude he does, even to this day. We will keep your father and the rest of your family in our thoughts.

Good to hear from you @EastCoast50! Positive vibes coming your wife's way!

Love Gatlinburg and GSMNP!

White Dragon was living in Winchester, VA about an hour from me. However, we never connected.

It's been a busy week with Cool Change. She got lettered finally. My wife and I (and the dogs) spent most of the weekend scrubbing, cleaning and shampooing the carpets. I think we scrubbed several layers of skin off our hands and fingers. But she is starting to look really good. Still have along way to go, though. We had a chance this afternoon to drop the anchor in our favorite cove and just chill and enjoy a libation....or two.

I WISH! It's not just the smoke that stinks in this town!

Dense smoke here in the Washington DC area as well.

Grats pop-pop!

Took delivery of "Cool Change" today and put our old boat, Spindrift on the market. Kind of a bittersweet day. Decided to take a picture of them side-by-side....the first and last time. Hoping Spindrift sells quickly, she was a great boat!

Remember the reason. As Americans, we owe every last one our lost warriors our undying respect. I took this video clip while photographing a dear friends father's interment at Arlington National Cemetery. LTC Mike Clune, a decorated veteran. It was an amazing event to capture for the family. Respect. https://digitaledgephotography.zenfolio.com/ltc-james-michael-clune/e1005e675

Thanks Wayne, it's been a process. Something new to us. We take delivery on Saturday and then we get to start cleaning the inside!

Cool Change has been on the pad over the past week or so. They have gotten quite a lot done: 1). Reconditioned both props 2). Bottom Paint 3). Repaired gelcoat on swim platform 4). Replaced gaskets on starboard engine manifold / risers 5). Repaired remote oil filter housing leak 6). Resealed grill pedestal in swim platform 7). Resealed starboard deck hatch 8). They are halfway through complete 2 stage compound & wax. We have a whole list of things that will be done once its back in the water either Saturday or Tuesday. So far we are really happy with how its coming along. Next priority is to sell our old boat so we can pay for this one!

Took the words right outta my mouth @Sammy

I gotta remember some of these! Classics!

Thanks all! Currently in the Outer Banks of NC enjoying some amazing weather and relaxation. We had family photos done on Monday evening from a friend and fellow photographer. It's been a good week (so far) visiting with our son, grandson and our son's girlfriend. Peace and tranquility, see you all in server on Sunday!

Go woke, go broke. Never touch the crap anyway. But I do share his sentiments

Hey @Mule, yes the boat will be called "Cool Change" Some of the inspiration came from the song Cool Change by Little River Band. Mostly only us old folks that will remember it LOL

Well oil samples came back and were in pretty good shape. The transmissions still had the break in fluid in them at 470 hours. We will get all the fluids changed while on the hard getting the bottom paint done, the port prop recond and a few other things. We settle on Thursday so I guess we will own a new (to us) boat. We are getting close to the graphic to put on the back of the boat. Not sure which font we like best. Any suggestions as to which you like best?

Great suggestion, and one of my wife's favorites. Although I have not read the book my wife brought this up several times.

Thanks for all of the ideas. We have decided on the name "Cool Change" for the boat if the deal goes through. Inspired by the song "Cool Change" by the Little River Band...most of you young whipersnappers wouldn't have a clue....lol We have bounced many of your ideas off one another and I appreciate all your input. So now we wait....for the oil samples to come in.
