A THING is a terrible thing to waste

One of the difficult things to come to terms with,is my relationship with my thing.Back in 93,i bought this 1974 VW THING, which,i partially restored. Fast forward to some years ahead, and i sold it. BUT the chance to have it back came to me, so, i had the compulsion to buy it back. I have this unfinished business to finish the restoration. Its illogical,in some respects, but, it called me to do this. Am ,i stuck in the seventies?, lets face it, a 1976 Westsail 28, and a 1974 VW Thing!. I dont do bellbottoms, or disco though. Anyway, i am driven to restore this car further. But the plans for GYPSY , dont change.

Music to my ears, maybe yours2

Hello, One of my other interests and challenges to myself, is the continual and daily practice of Trumpet playing. I have been taking lessons and playing for about 4 years. I was inspired to try to produce a sound similar to CHRIS BOTTI, but,it is apparent that, i may not have enough years to play in this lifetime!.However, i enjoy it nonetheless, and it requires no electrical power from boat batteries. My new challenge, is teaching myself to play UKULELE, which is done very informally. The study of the trumpet is serious and pretty regimented, and the Ukulele is much more laid back. i would like to achieve at least intermediate competence , so i can enjoy playing with other cruisers and beach pot luck parties , in palm lined beaches .
