It's a Hard Life

When we owned trucks, we did a lot of do-it-yourself repairs. We even did repairs on equipment for companies we drove for, mostly to keep rolling, but partly because we wanted the work done right.

Where is Miles? 2022 March and April

We checked into the Bahamas in Bimini.  We had been there in March of 2020, just before Covid created such trouble. We sailed with Danny, Cindy, Steve, and Glenn. We had been using Glenn as slave labor for almost a week, so we thought sailing would be a good reward.  Checking in went well, even though I had to call on our IT guy to help me fill out the Click2Clear website.  We had missed the detail that it is mandatory now. The first Customs guy was a bit touchy about our ignorance, but after I secured Steve to help make things happen, the first guy was at lunch.  The second guy was like a website support specialist for cruisers.  I think the paper method took less time, but maybe we...
