Talk About a Mission

I woke up Saturday with a mission. I washed "Lights Out" and then took her out for a run on the river to clean the bottom and make sure everything still worked. Then I went to the pet store, auto parts store, two grocery stores and stopped for gas. This was all done by NOON!

I watched a very good movie Saturday night called "Flash of Genius". It was a true story about an inventor who went up against the giants of the auto industry (Detroit) for patent infringement. A very inspiring moving and another reason to keep "Never Give Up" fresh in your mind. You need to see it.

As some of you know, I had "Lights Out" sold but the buyer backed out at the last moment. Anticipating the sale, I was not ready to give up cruising on the water so I found a 25 foot pontoon boat that was a great deal and I thought it would be good for taking little jaunts on the water. Plus it is all one level and very easy on my knees compared to the steps on Lights Out.

Also, it can hold up to 12 people so it would be good for when I have family visiting to take a little cruise on the water or go to the bat cave and watch the bats come out.

It even has a wireless remote controlled trolling motor so I can even use it for fishing and as a replacement for the bass boat if it ever wears out.

I decided to purchase it and then pay off the small loan when I received the proceeds from "Lights Out". When the buyer back out I was very disappointed and now I have 3 boats. Good Lord, what have I done? Since I decided to work until I am 66 (another year) I will be financially OK but I really want to sell Lights Out. Hopefully, there is another buyer out there somewhere.

Here are a few photos of the pontoon boat:

It even has a pop-up changing room that can also have a porta-pottie. When completely open there is a drop-down curtain for privacy. Not as convient as the head on Lights Out but when you gota go you gota go and convenience is not a concern. LOL
