They only sound good after 8 beers

FOG! Fog is what Maine is famous for and we had plenty of it all day. We started the day off with rain and fog and ended up with just fog.

There were no classes today. This is a pretty quite place so other than Carol cleaning the buildings and the shop assistances cleaning the shops there wasn’t much happening. Generally, Saturday it is a good day to use one of the boats and go sailing but there was this thing call FOG. The school has about 12 or 15 different boats for your use. If you were wanting to figure out what type of boat you wanted this would be a cool place to come and sail the whole fleet. As a mater of fact, there is a course that allows you to do that for a week.

I made the trip to Ellsworth about 30 miles away to get into cell phone range. Carole and I rarely have time away from each other. We probably have many more days when we spend all day together. I have a new favorite song, the main point of the song is about being in love with your best friend, which sums up our relationship. After talking long enough to make my ear tired, it was 30 miles back to Brooklin.

Most of the day was spent working on some drawings that need revision the week I get back. I found a quite corner which was an easy thing to do, plugged in my Ipod and started work. Nothing like getting a few billable hours when you get a chance.

Randy and I went to the Brooklin Pub for dinner. It is in the same old house as the Brookin Inn restaurant and Brooking Inn B&B. You have to know the Pub is there to find it. The entrance is thru the woodshed in the back of the building. The door is about 5’ tall and the hallway is about 6’ tall. Then it down some non-code steps ducking to miss low beams into the basement. There is a bar with about 10 stools and 4 tables so one might say it is cozy. Of course, others may describe it in less kind ways. While we were eating our burgers three local guys show up with instruments and set up to play for the night. They were playing some fun music with a little blue grass, protest music and other stuff mixed in. I think if we had stayed for about 8 more beers they would have sounded really good.
