Whatever floats your boat

It was my Uncle who came up with the title of this post. Here the S.S. Minnow is Thursday as we launched it into Langdon Bay, our private lake on the edge of downtown Mound. Since boats cannot get from here to the Big Lake, it has virtually no traffic. The boat has 20 X 8 foot deck and is powered by a 30 pounds of thrust electric motor and has a top speed of about 2 miles per hour.
My two sons each have their different strong points. This one here re-assembled the pontoon about as much as I did. I helps to have someone small to crawl under the pontoon and turn a wrench when you're in your mid-forties. Each connection between the cross beams and the pontoons consists of a bolt, a nut, a large washer, a small washer and a lock washer, in the right order. He got every connection right. Of such small things, is life made of.
