Woke up to the stunning realization that Christmas is one week from today! Yikes!
Harriet, the marina manager, very kindly drove us over to the shop to get the generator. Would you believe the choke had been put in backwards at the factory! It works fine now.
Roy is sending out copies of the log for Christmas presents and wants pictures to put in them, so I went downtown on the bus while Roy continued working on the wiring. Left the negatives at a one-hour developing place, ate lunch, and took a bus to a mall. Did all my Christmas shopping in thirty minutes flat. Should make the Guiness Book of Records. (Actually, it wasn't all that great, since I just bought gifts for the children. Grownups don't need Christmas presents. Especially me.)
Returned to downtown and went to the Post Office. Still no mail. Got to the photo place minutes before they closed. They'd already lowered the metal gate, but they let me in. Got the reprints and returned to the boat. Most of the prints came out fine, but some were blurry, so I'll have to take them back tomorrow or Monday.
Roy has installed the new inverter in a way that makes it impossible to use when we're connected to shore power. He's also put an outlet by the microwave and toaster ovens, so it will be easy to use them. He tested the inverter, and it worked even better than the others.
