Shake-Down Cruise
Well, finally, about a month late in my mind we have taken the Cat's Pajamas out for a shake-down cruise. We sailed for about an hour and a half and motored for a bit, taking some time to do some fishing.

Water Fight Rules of Engagement
Rules of Engagement.
1. The Patio/Porch is neutral territory. You will not shoot or be shot while there. Any breach of this is a water-fight war crime and is punishable by a water firing squad. If water enters the house, you will be asked to leave the game.
2. Do not attack persons who are merely spectators. If they pick up a water weapon and begin to participate they lose their non-belligerant status and become lawful combatants.
3. Do not shoot a person while they are refilling or waiting to be refilled. It is alright to shoot them on the way to the refilling area and in fact it's encouraged. Also it is not sporting to shoot someone who is unarmed. If they have a weapon and have no water and not refilling then they are fair game. We want a little chivalry here.
4. Do not use the hose to squirt someone. That is a violation of the Geneva Convention and a water-fight war crime, if you spray someone with the hose, you will be asked to leave the game. Buckets however, are allowed, as are water balloons.
5. Although any part of the body is fair game, avoid the face/eyes if possible, especially with the little kids. They don't like that.

"Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends..."
"...we're so glad you could attend come inside, come inside"
It was 30 years ago today that my big brother took me to see my very first rock concert. Emerson, Lake and Palmer at Cobo Arena. We had good seats and I was all of 14 years old in the 9th grade. Pretty cool stuff. That experience still ranks as one of my all time favorite concerts, it forged a bond with my big brother that I share to this day and it became the gold standard by which all subsequent concerts were measured. My brother and I have attended a few ELP concerts since, but nothing will compare to that late spring day when my brother and I were in attendance when Keith Emerson, Greg Lake and Carl Palmer and a seventy piece orchestra were at the height of their powers.
I kept my ticket stub and my program and have scanned them here for your perusal, behold these artifacts of late the 1970's progressive rock movement at it's zenith.
