Transpass, transfer money so I have enough cash for the Atlanta trip, and figure out my new

Boarding the Trolley

I got up at 8:00 AM. I'm 20 minutes late to work and I have a whole mess of people scheduled for today I'm going to guesstimate that

17 to 20 people if everybody came in.

Weather day wasn't here nearly as fast as I thought people

The EL at 56 Street

didn't come in but at a slow steady pace and half of them didn't show up anyhow. I'm guessing about 8 to 10 showed up today.

Really Dude

 It won't affect current

enter through the Spruce. We got in with no problem and I truck the woman 5 bucks from my extra ticket that I had. I had since Sharon was unable to join us this afternoon. After about an hour and a half we did get on the US Coast Guard eagle is pretty cool. We the sailors were pretty cool and this is a training ship and they really know what they were talking about

that's for sure. We also saw a French tall ship that was rebuilt back in 1997 and it's sailing around the world for the

1st time. We also went to a ship that was called the tree of life. It was named after some body's daughter.

dinner. That was pretty quiet since my phone ran out of batteries towards the end of the tall ships
