Paul's back is not good when we did the last set of batteries (see picture from post before). So, I crawled into the engine room and took out the rest of the batteries, to the cockpit, to the swim platform down to earth, then to the trunk of the car. We brought them all to Sam's Club and replaced them. I Lugged them in on a cart and bought the newest we can find. Paul has his handy battery tester to make sure they are good before we lug them back the same way. We have to start the year off well. Needless to say, I have not done any weight lifting on these days. One Thousand pounds of batteries! The good news is I know exactly where all these batteries are and the work Paul has done in the past. However, no pastries, if I gain a few pounds I won't fit into the tight spots I have to get into.
Behind out boat is this 16 " diameter land turtle. I fed bread to it the other day but just the red ants liked that. Today I brought lettuce, this turtle gobbled it up. She is starting to recognize me. I will go again tomorrow with other compost stuff.

Our filter for the generator wasn't tight enough and we had some diesel dripping all summer into the engine room, smelly! I googled what to do and to put kitty litter into containers all around the engine room. I put two already and once batteries all wired up, I will put more. The bucket looks pretty handy!
Super hot down here and we hear the temperatures up north getting cold.
Will be splashing into the water end of next week,
