On the Hard

Here are a few shots for your viewing pleasure. There's Gary, having a nap on my boat at the dock in the sun in Langley. It's hard work watching all those whales! (It's a good thing I haven't figured out how to add sound to the post. Gary's snore is actually quite inoffensive.)

The other shots are of WaveGuide "on the hard." I felt a bit sorry for her. She doesn't look nearly so glamorous out of the water. For all the men reading this, you could think of her as a gorgeous and sexy woman (with no reference to a real woman) whom you've known quite well, intimately, in fact, who's in the doctor's examination room with her feet up in the stirrups in a most undignified position. In that position, she's really interesting to look at, but somehow not quite so sexy any more. (This might of the first of many "O, Walter!" moments to come in the course of this blog:-))

The last shot is of the offending seal. It's supposed to have a couple of water lines attached to it, but both of them have been broken off. The whole shaft will have to be removed, and a new seal installed.

The initial prognosis is good. It appears that there is no malignancy, and that after some basic surgery and a couple of thousand dollars, she'll be as good as new. I'll know more tomorrow after the test results are in. I'll keep you posted.
