Happy Holidays everyone. I just got back to work, up in the windy city freezing my rear off and getting snowed all over. This is a big change in weather from sunny Florida where my family spent our Christmas. We went to Disney for 6 days and it was a blast. The weather was great, the food was awesome and we had Fast Passes to all the cool rides. I have never been so tired or walked so much! I took a pile of pictures and will post them when I get home, the wife is going through them now trying to decide which ones to print. I hope you guys had a great Christmas too.

After being in the shipyard for 19 days we got out and headed north for Chicago. We've made it as far as Memphis today and I'll be getting off today! It's been a long 4 weeks and I'm in need of some R&R. Hope to game with you guys some next week, then I'm off to Disney for Xmas!

Here are some pics of my boat getting repairs. The galley floor is getting replaced with ceramic tile and the other pics are of our main engines getting changed out with new ones. The hole is in the top of our upper 1st deck.

Here's some answers to a couple of ?'s from my previous post. The vessel I Captain isn't a tug, we don't pull or tow line anything. We push our barges ahead of us. I call it a 'tug' because it's easier for people to understand than 'push boat'.

Well I'm back to the old grind. I caught my tug down in LA this morning and will be heading for the shipyard sometimes tonight or in the morning. I was able to get alittle game time in with some of my clan mates, it was great. I look forward to more when I get back home. I also finally got my 3rd 360 in the other day from M$ repairs. This one is the new bunch that has the cooler running chip in it. I gave it to the family so I'll have my wife and son playing also when I get in.

I'll post some more of the boat life from time to time. Keep the questions coming.
