Slowly decorating

 While there was some decorations left over from the previous owner, many were not truly coastal or nautical lifestyle decorations.  Moyia and I have used Facebook Marketplace to buy and sell/give away a few of the items and furniture, and a few of the better consignment stores have been able to provide many decorations and furniture as well.  On the last trip from Tennessee, we brought some decorations from that home as well.  Still lots of empty walls, but we are getting there slowly.

    We were at an art show a couple of years ago and Patti wanted to get you some kind of pool area art (can't even remember what it was), and I told her that you guys were going to sell your house in Tennessee and have no place to put it...

    How's the quality/clarity on the canvas pictures? Did you take the pictures with your phone?

      Quality on the canvas prints are good and most shot with my old iPhone 5(6?). Have to make sure the original is full size, and the focus is good. Crazy enough, it's the 20 megapixel Sony DSLR that has the most issues trying to get a good print, especially when shot with the telephoto lens.

Lemony-Lime Tree has Blossomed into Life

Image
The First Mate and I have been watching and waiting to see if our small, double-grafted citrus tree will have fruit this year.  A couple of weeks ago, the First Mate spied some growing buds on the Myers Lemon portion of the tree. The Key West Lime side is taking its sweet time, but buds are slowly coming along as well, though much smaller and completely white for now. Over this past weekend, the lemon buds started opening up and, if they all set, we'll have to find some way to feed and support the little tree. I had to check and make sure blooms self-pollinate, both types do, but I may also help them a little just to make certain so we can make a few pies this upcoming late summer and fall.

Moving Day

With the upcoming repairs and renovation, "G" Dock is all but vacant, with just a few transients tied up and soon to be gone.  Many of the boats slid back to "H" Dock, to the west/left as space permitted, with our SV-Time and Tide among them. It's a mixed bag on H from the looks of it. Much more active with many of the boats sporting old, retired guys "fixing" things and such. One such sailor had all his chain out and was marking it with a "better" color scheme. Personally, the older scheme seemed to be just fine to me, but everyone is the Captain of their own boat. The winds were a bit gusty, but this captain managed to "twirl" the boat between the docks and glide her into her new slip. The First Mate took over the helm as I left the cockpit to secure a few initial lines. Easy-peasy. I have got a few items to check off my preparations list, then the First Mate and I will cruise a bit on Charlotte Harbor, and anchor out as the winte

Dishwasher has Gone on Strike!

Image
Our LG dishwasher, a nice stainless model that is whisper quiet, decided to just not work when I had it all loaded up the other day. It has capacitive touch buttons on the control panel, and the entire assembly was dead. Did the usual and checked the breaker, pulled the schematic, and saw there was a power filter. There were multiple instructions on where "things" were located, so I pulled the dishwasher, disconnected the water and drain lines, flipped it on its side, and connected the power to check the three electronic boards.   The power filter was on the lower back of the dishwasher.  All checked out good with this board.  I truly did not need to flip the dishwasher, just pull it enough to get to the back. Next up was the actual "brains", and it checked out as powered up.  It's encapsulated in a gel, so no testing of any power output components without removing the gel. No chance of testing the dishwater interface, low voltage signaling, and encapsulated lik
