It sucks posting with my phone. I can type like a mad motherfucker on my laptop. 100 words a minute I think. Texting? My thumbs are assholes and I don't use autocorrect because autocorrect doesn't like no-no words and onomatopoeia so I spend half my texting time correcting typos as it is.
Still, I have this watch, a nap and part of the next watch to go before I am relieved, at which point I will go to a hotel for the night, get some sleep and be up early to get groceries and head to the floating HQ, there to take up where left off 2 weeks ago.
I'm glad I did this. It's a good reminder of why I don't work on tugboats full-time. Oh, it's been cool, no complaints, but I like the HQ. My friends are there, I can sleep more than 4 hours at a time, and I'm good at the work. Really good at it, in fact. Being on here, I'm no longer good at simple tasks, some aspects of plain sailoring that simply require practice, and it's a little hard on the ego. Plus, the food... the guys on here eat like college students. I haven't had this much processed food since 1998. When the F did I become a healthy eater? I actually miss salad and vegetables. Lol.

I am stressed. So much I enjoy your thoughts but what worries me is that I cannot simply acknowledge each post and how much they brighten my retired day. Is there an option to acknowledge each post? Cheers from Qld Australia.
Huh. As a genuine Old F*#T I am intrigued. I had to look up "onomatopoeia". Love it. Cheers.
