Tuesday in new york city

My plan was to go My plan The plan was to go to the moma art museum first thing.
After the art museum, I thought I might go to the Empire state building period and then possibly walk through Central Park period
I checked the price of the New Jersey bus to downtown. You can New York City and found that it was just $20.
So I went to the store, got some cash so in the morning I would be prepared.
In the morning I had eggs bacon no toast since there was no toaster. I walked out to the bus stop and waited for the bus I caught the bus I paid my fee sat down watch the world go by as we drove into New York City it took about an hour and a half to fight through the traffic going through the tunnel over the bridge into town ended up on 7th street at the New York bus terminal.
The weather was cloudy there may have been light rain I didn't want to take the subway since I still had an hour and a half until the museum opened so I decided to walk from 7th Street to 47th Street I walked up 6th avenue it was a nice walk I saw the Carnegie Hall was under renovation and they had put up a freize that looks like the exterior of the building to hide the workers. 
I got to MoMA about 15 minutes before it opened loitered in the museum store found that everything in the store was too expensive for my taste and then I went outside to stand in line to enter the museum
The line moved  slowly but I did get in probably within 15 minutes of getting in line. Once inside you had to figure out how to pay. I used my credit card to pay the $25 fee then I took the elevator up to the second floor and walked around there was a green helicopter hanging in a hallway. I took a picture of that.  
I took the elevator up to the top floor and proceeded to spiral down through all the floors it was a museum of modern art so most of the art was not to my taste. I remember a statue of a fellow without a face standing underneath a bunch of hanging things and I remember blown glass that look pretty. but most was no that not memorable.
When I finished with the museum, I stood outside and perused the attractions nearby such as the empire State building, the world trade center replacement. The prices to ride to the top and see the views we just outside of my desired expenditures so instead I just walked to Central Park.
 I walked through the southern part of Central Park, under a bridge and went over to the south west corner and bought a shawarma from a cart and had lunch.
After lunch I received back towards the bus station down 7th Street. Until I got to the 40th Street subway station where I grabbed the subway back to the bus station.
I got on the bus back to New Jersey had an uneventful ride. When I got off the bus and went back to the hotel I took a nap.
When I got up I decided to go get dinner at the supermarket so I proceeded to walk back to the supermarket I didn't take my skates because I figured I needed the exercise just walking. On my way across the highway I met a woman from Jamaica who was headed the same direction in the hope of finding what I thought was she was looking for a CBD store but she actually needed cereal and milk for her child. So after I told her that there wasn't any CBD store that I knew about she gave me some money and asked me to go get some milk and cereal for a while when I went to get my dinner and I said I would. So instead of going to the supermarket I turned right across the freeway and went down the street to where there was a little Bodega and there I bought her some cereal and milk and I bought myself some lunch and meat for dinner.
When I got back to the hotel and brought the cereal and the milk and a spoon to the woman we had this long talk about her boyfriend and how he wasn't measuring up to what she wanted I quite a long talk she was a lawyer in New York City coming out to New Jersey to visit friends I gave her my card but she has never called me it was a nice evening anyways.
When I got back to my room how much movie I texted Connie and then I went to bed.

Bagatelle bow eye replacement

Image
I tried to go sailing at Lake Somerville spent most of the morning trying to raise the mast. Once we had the mast up we went to launch the boat and found that the motor wouldn't run so we pulled the boat back out and I noticed in the morning that the bow eye was loose. On the way home there was some traffic on 290 coming in. I had to stop suddenly and since the boat wasn't really connected to the winch it slid forward past the winch and so now I have some gel coat to fix. So I decided to pull out the bow eye that I had bought earlier and put it in the holes that were vacanted by the old bow eye. Looking through the hole I could see that there was no obstructions.The bow eye that I purchased was just a little bit different. The dimension up to down was skinnier than the old bow eye and the holes in the bow post The wood that goes at front of the Bow. So taking a hammer I banged the new Boweye in. It fits snugly but then when I went inside the boat ...

My Saga of Designing and building a Nimble Artic Gin Pole for Mast raising

Image
Bagatelle Gin Pole Design Saga Bagatelle is a Nimble Artic. Her mast weighs about 150 lbs. I can lift maybe 50 lbs above my head. So I find it difficult to raise her mast on my own. I decided to design a gin pole to help lift the mast. I watched a couple of videos on Youtube Raise or Lower a Mast with a Gin Pole (Yachtorial) Andrew Price https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tM-FjH_DlqY 1971 O'Day Mariner mast Raise with DIY Gin Pole (Brad Builds Tables) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsReBbNHFsw My first concern was how to attach the gin pole. My first try at attachment was to cut the mast end of the gin pole to fit the mast. Then add hooks to the side to provide a connection for a ratchet strap to hold the pole to the mast. I tried to use this to raise the pole, I found that the gin pole would rotate about the mast so to use it, I needed an extra hand or two to steady both the Gin pole and the mast when going up...
