I got an note from the cardiolgists..two weeks until lab tests to see if this Vit B is doing any good. I feel like I have been put through an "wringer" at times. Everytime there's an big weather change..and we are in one right now...calling for an trace to one inch of snow on the valley floor by tomarrow morning. I do have some days when the first time in years..there's no double noises going on inside my head from tinintus and listening to the blood go through my arteries..for the most part, kids were "sick"all last week...one missed four days, the other three days...I pretty much let them sleep it off on asprin for their fever. Today I need to learn if I remeber how to clean up my room...it needs it.Can't be taking care of others and myself at the same time in ways..some thing gets put aside. It's ussually me.

I'm at home right now...day off. I'll be heading to RI this afternoon to begin getting the boat ready for launch.


Where is the next big trip too?
Not certain at this point. I do know that we'll be sailing down to Hamburg Cove in CT around the end of July. The first trip of the season I take to shake the boat down...stress it, try to break things. That's usually down to Newport, RI. I make any necesary repairs and then we're ready for the season.

Two sick kids at once! I don't envy you that one Shirley. 

Care givers generally do put themselves last, but it really is important to take care of your self too. There is an old saying:  If mama lion doesn't take care of herself the cubs will die. Take care of yourself, Shirley.

That I am doing...news said today that it's (flu bug) has just about peaked out in our schools here for this year...everyone here has an touch of it in some way. I learned some things last night watching the History channel on "Ancient Astonauts"..they were that the Tikal Pyramind is laid out in the ground to represent the constellaion of the Plaidies, that Stonehenge represents the solar system and the Giza Pyramid is set on the line of the equator with it going east to west and north to south..it's in the  center of the four corners of earth.  Also they showed an 800 ton slab of rock with an fine line made in it for decoration, that looked like some kind of an saw was used to make that line, and not an chiesel as we would think would be thier only way to make an line in those times, i tlooked precision cut...finally they came across an shipwreck and brought up an trunk, and inside of it  was a metal box, on the ooutside was an zodiac sign and an dial..they used x-ray to peek inside of it and found wheels with cogs connected to each other, as would be an computer of its day perhaps, it can function as an GPS they found out and do nautical charts, as well as individual astrology charts..and they dated this back to 200 BC. finally it was brought up that one of the relief murals in the great pyramid shows some kind of an "flashlight" or light source. what they show is in somone's hands is around an like elonginated bulb around an straight filiment of some kind with an knob at the end, much like where we have on the end of light bulbs now. That lead to the discussion of how could they do the murals inside of the Pyraminds if it was totally dark, and as one person said..torches,,,the guy said he couldn't even get his "Bic" lighter to work for the lack of "air" when he first entered...you know those little long air ways to the outside that people have thought were for star path travel..well they took an mirror and captured the light coming through one of them, and bounced it off copper discs and lit up the whole inside of the Pryamid with it...bouncing the light ray from disc to disc.  New source of "free" energy someday? Anyway that was the highights about the show that intrigued me the most.

That light bulb they showed reminded me of something about the "Coral Castle" in Florida...as I think the owner and builder of it said he had found the secret of levitation and it included the use of electricity...and they thought in part they had found an source of battery power...making use of acids from that era also. Could they have found an way with it as in this elonginated bulb in raising up the huge slabs in place?..as is simliar in the tonnage slabs built into Coral Castle?  I wonder what the long filiment like thing was made of, it looked like some kind of metal. (Copper maybe?)  Just an thought.
