Well, we’ve survived the holidays. It’s been pretty quiet. The kids have moved out, into their own apartment. My cats have been learning to rule the house. We had a nice river cruise on the Portland Spirit.
We weren’t able to do much as we are currently fighting a lawsuit from Dept of Natural Resources. They want us to remove the dock and the houseboats. They refused to renew the lease back in 2002, even though they said that the family had done a lot of good work on the place. They gave us a deadline to do a bunch of stuff, even though we couldn’t get the permits until after their deadline. So, for now, our money goes to lawyers. If we lose this, the public will lose access to the river at that point.
Our life together is good. This new year will see a lot of changes as we are going to sell the house and move to the river. I hope I can make some progress on the Aqua Home, maybe get the engines working. I hope 2010 turns out to be a good year for all.
