Boats are like having a baby. They make constant demands on your time and wallet. I won't even mention labor pains. The finance company and the marina sometimes call to remind you of this unpleasantness. At least it can go in the closet.
Nobody ever puts junk computers in the trash.
Sooner or later we complete our lessons from the University of Boats and Computers and we hand ourselves a Baccalaureate of Hard Lessons, a BhL as it were. And move on to a new dimension of insanity. Sure we are. After all, tuition at any university is expensive and the degree we just got looks like a bargain by comparison. Heck, that kid of mine sucks up 12 a year easy.
