Merry Christmas

Unbeknownst in popular lore (Matthew 2:11) there were originally five wise men... well actually three wise men featured in the nativity and one not so wise man and one wise woman. Unfortunately #4 and #5 camel had navigational problems and ended up following the wrong star and arrived in the land of the Pharoahs and not Bethlehem where they were supposed to deliver their gifts of fruitcake and maple syrup....

Activity at RYC

Trusses arrive by barge at RYC and are craned into the new reconstruction part of the boat house roof. Meanwhile the fully loaded Purdue grain barge eases out of the creek for the 16 hour slow push to the hungry chickens destination on the Eastern Shore.
