Where is Kermit?
- Thread starter Brian D
- Start date
Frogs legs aren’t a traditional part of the Thanksgiving dinner as far as I know, so the timing is hopefully just a coincidence. @Kermit you didn’t get confused for a turkey, did you?
Hey y’all. I appreciate being missed. And especially the concern for the well-being of my legs.
Y’all may remember that I sold my boat. Yep. Sold it. Done deal. I was spending more time driving to clean it and check on it than sailing it. A *LOT* more time. And when I wasn’t checking on it or cleaning it I was worrying about it. That’s NOT what we wanted out of sailboat ownership. We still have our AquaCat 12.5 but it’s sitting in our yard unused. I still consider myself a sailor but certainly not an active one.
I had my left shoulder replaced 6 weeks ago exactly a year after having my right one replaced. It’s healing nicely and I hope to get released from wearing the sling tomorrow. Physical therapy is going well.
I don’t sign in here unless someone tags me. I am still happy to share my experience with sailing and sailboats if needed. But I’m not kidding when I say my greatest achievement in sailing is always returning to the same slip with the same crew all alive and well. I’m not an expert in anything boating. (My wife says I’m really good at docking, though.)
Thanks for checking on me!

If you change man for Frog... Could this be Kermit?

It's good to read another post from you, my friend. Maybe a once a week post in the Funny Friday thread and we'd all feel like it was still the same old SBO we have all come to know and love.
Take care and I'm glad you're shoulders are doing better. Now it will be easier to shrug it all off.

Ha! I got a bill last year from the hospital for over $82,000. To paraphrase a Little Johnny joke, “I just laughed and laughed. I knew I didn’t have enough stamps to mail that many payments!”If you change man for Frog... Could this be Kermit?

Thanks, Will. I’ve found a few good ones on an RV forum. Oh, I’ve found that RV forum participants are just like sailors. . They’re all experts, every one of them is right and everyone else is wrong.
Oh, I have shoulders. And the coolest x-rays ever!

I never saw the xrays, @Kermit but the fiberglass wrap is water activated. And 10’ of 1” wide strip is something north of 80 bucks. Suddenly West Systems isnt so expensive.
Those screws are impressive! If you ever get that rv up to Wisconsin I'll take you sailing.
I’m looking forward to seeing them in person when the pull me out of the crematory one day. But not until after I go sailing with everyone here on SBO.
