Hi Challo; Thanx..ya I take it easy ( all I do is sit in the chair and drive the boat ) :-)
& no offshore work for me anymore.
I got in about 2AM and rested good glad I got up early enough to change some
orders , they already bought my qqq calls ( I likely left some on the table but
did OK ) :-) I almost bought more UOPIX yesterday now wish I had .
---------------
The thing about the TUG job ( I started at 15 and I'm 64 this month )
Is that from the time I was a Kid it I just seemed to have a talent, or
feel for it .. ( one of my very few talents ).
I know it's not nice to brag and in a way I hate to because it's more
a "gift" than something one learns..you either have the feel or you
don't but of course over the years if you have it then you seem to
get better. I mostly dock ships now days ( assist boat ) and the
Pilots love me. But what really did my heart good yesterday was
when I saw the admiration in the eyes of a new Captain who
was running as my mate ...( he never said anything but I could see
it in his eyes ) .
The sad part as I told my wife is that I'm so crippled up and I know
I won't go much longer yet I'm better now than at any time in my life.
I'm still grinning as I really pulled some smooth moves yesterday, it was
like I was doing 110 percent; & every single thing just fell in place.
It always make me a little nervous when things go Taht good.
Jim
