Had my 25 minute interview today with WPLM-FM Easy99.1 radio. Thank you Pat Carroll for inviting me back.

I will post the link as soon as I get it. The actual show will not air until October.

I think it went very well.

Pat Carroll in her position.

I just set up an appointment for a 25 minute show with WPLM-FM Easy99.1 for tomorrow. When I get the link I will share it.

I am waiting to hear from the kayak company still. 

I have to wait for my new glasses.

In the mean time I have been going to events spreading the word about Mission22. I went to a country fest and got Kelly and Martin to out Mission22 stickers on their guitar case, plus another performer just as I was leaving.

At the county fair there was  couple with a Memorial Fire Engine. The guy was putting the Mission22 sticker on the side window right next to the American flag.

Yesterday one if the Mission22 Ambassadors put out a Facebook post that sounded like a cry for help. A number of sprang into action even sending one guy close by to do a physical check. He was okay just having a real bad week. I would like to thank everyone that responded so quickly. 

If you know any vets that in trouble tell them about Mission22. If you are feeling that bad you will know that vets like us have your 6 and we will be there.

Well back to vision works. The sunglass frame I picked out yesterday won’t work. Back to pick out new frame. Get fitted for both frames.  Wait 10 days for glasses to be ready.

Waiting to hear answers from WPLM, and Current Design kayak

Got my new burn pot for my Biolite campstove.

Had to go for eye exam. My girlfriend caught me using spare set of glasses to magnify small print on charts.

Well need new glasses. Getting 2 pair, 1 clear one polarized sunglasses. Have to wait for tech to answer questions 

Just finished radio interview at WPLM-FM Easy 99.1 with Tom and Billy in the morning.

Been invited back to record a longer show to air on a Sunday.

Here is the link to the interview,

While still on land I decided to help my gf  out by draining her fish pond and scrubbing the liner patching some holes from a dog. Filling it back up.

Also been emailing Hayward Pool about her system. We think we got it figured out

Have a radio interview at. 8:30 AM at WPLM-FM Easy 99.1

I contacted the company that is supposed to be sending me a replacement part. They sent me the tracking number. When I put the tracking number into the system it tells me that the deliverer is still waiting for package.

I have an eye exam on Friday as I can no longer read the small print on the chart or other things. It’s tough getting old lol.

I am hoping the Mission22 state leader can put together an event while I am still here. It would be great to meet other Ambassadors and spread the word together.

When I am ready to get back on the water I will send out a shout to the Connecticut state leader to get something set up in Mystic hopefully at the historic seaport.

I am still working on a new kayak for the rest of the trip. I would like a Current Design Soltice Titan GT with a few upgrades.

I went to post office to pick up package. It was from Smart Track Control. Andrew sent me a whole new bracket and spare springs. A big thank you to Andrew for coming through for me. 

Still waiting for Biolite new cockpit. It would me great if they shipped me the new best model.

Still waiting to hear from Current Design. If anyone knows someone that works there please pnrovid be me a connection, it would be greatly appreciated.

Old bracket missing pin out of small post.

New bracket with pin in place. Top of bracket.

New bracket installed.

Job complete and tested.

Still waiting for 2 items and to hear from Current Designs. I hope they see the importance of my journey and sponsor me.

I am busy plotting out my first day or two on my chart.

I need to get my eyes checked and get glasses. The small print on the charts is hard to read without help even with my glasses on. I hate getting old lol!

I need a scale to weigh everything and make adjustments.

Charts and first aid dry behave arrived. Awaiting cockpit and whiz pin.

While talking with a Nam get today about our service and M22 another gentlemen took my picture and information and shared it withfishetmendoes as far as New Jersey. He contacted the head of a surfcadters organization about possible sponsorship or helping anyway the can. He also contacted someone he knew that reps kayaks to see how he could help.

Good day I would say.
