Rabies is endemic in the Calder family. In my case, it recurs every 2 or 3 years and I have to chain myself to the radiator until it passes. I have it now and do not feel well. However I drag myself out this morning to attach the engine mount to Dileas’ bottom.  Essentially this is very easy as the nice boat company sent me a template so that I knew where to drill the holes.

I am amazed by wireless drills

There is a lot of spring activity.

Never seen this before. Just passing by on the other side of the road

Butterflies are starting to re-appear

Anyway the engine mount comes with long, threaded bolts. I do not have a socket set that would allow me to do this quickly so have to use a spanner, which takes forever. Not to worry as I can do what I like to do, which is look at what is happening.

Then I go back to the radiator.
