We try really hard to post pretty, interesting pictures here, but not all the pictures we take fall into that category. Take these for example…
This was a “make-sure-I-remember-how-it-goes-back-together” picture. I take a lot of these. (This is the first to make the blog.)
Above is one of my frequent how-does-that-come-apart pictures. I used to use a flashlight and a mirror to look around corners like this one. Now I just stick my phone into the tight place and snap a bunch of pictures (film is very inexpensive for my Android phone!). Here, I was trying to figure out if there was a screw holding the handle on the thru-hull valve. Yes, there was.
(Today was not such a good day. It was a day of changing head hoses and putting in a new Y valve.)
I also use my phone or our camera to supplement my age-failing memory, or as just an easy way to write down a phone number. This is Rent A Dent in Opua. We have one of their dents now. Wayne’s a great guy. -Rich
