Cabin boy on a Funeral Boat.

Apr 02, 2006 16:20

For the fist time ever I kind of love my job. I work with three ridiculous old sailors. The captain: a fat middle-aged dwarf. The minister: A greasy balding ex-con who wears the same half zip pull-over sweater with no shirt underneath zipped down to wherever his chest hair probably looses some of it’s spring.

Okay my roommate farmer boy friend is totally lame. I just read that to him and he didn't even blink. I did voices and everything...

He is reading a book about French pastries. God I hate sharing a bed with someone who snores.

I don't have your address so I can't write you letters. How is the boat? I want to move to the East Bay when I come back and go to Laney for my welding cert. Need a lady on that there boat? I keep things real nice and clean.

Love.

Aw, fuck it.

The boats doing good. Still gutting the damn thing. It should be liveable (minus electrical and plumming) by the end of may.I'm having some trouble figuring out how to fully dry out the bilges after pumping out all the residual water (hardly any air flow down there) I'm thing it'll just take a lot of towels (shitty).
Everyone around here has been awesome about helping me out with the project. It's really great.
I've been taking jobs as a cabinetmaker (out of no where). I got some books from the library called stuff like "77 home wood projects even you can do" and then declared myself a carpenter. Now im doing 500 dollar projects and I have an "apprentice" (sucker).

So far its only me and collin on the boat and it would be wonderful for you to join us.

Pete
