Nothing achieved

I went down to the boat yesterday, intending to epoxy the stbd teak coaming back together. It was blowing hard, though, and, although it was sunny and otherwise gorgeous, I didn't really want to work in the wind, so I just shot the shit with Cap'n Tad for a while and headed to Marshall's for some shopping. On the way there my car started overheating -- my fault: I know there's a coolant leak, so I replenish it every week or so, but I slacked off -- but I made it to the store without redlining it, shopped for longer than normal, refilled my radiator and made it home with no problems.
I should note that the windex installation has bit the ghost. I need to go aloft and redo it with epoxy and locknuts, because the doubled-up standard nuts still rattle loose, no matter what anybody tells you.
I'm really looking forward to the spring season...
