Sunday - An interesting Super Bowl. Wish I was watching it with Dad, but those days are over. Ah well. I Tivo'ed it in SD, but actually watched in in broadcast HD. Very nice.

It wasn’t the Niners’ (boo, hiss), so I couldn’t get too excited. That said, it was a good game, enjoyable. As in most close games it is who made the fewest or last mistake that decided the outcome.

I thought the commercials were overall better than the last few years (a little less raunchy and juvenile), but also that the best this year didn’t measure up to the best of the last couple of years.

I’m no fan of Madonna, but I thought she put on a professional show, not to my taste but obviously well thought out and performed (that one cast member who won’t work in the biz ever again excepted). Again, a step up from the last couple of half time shows.



The drop off of the e-waste went OK yesterday. I had just washed my Explorer, so the quarter mile of dirt and gravel road didn't do me any favors. I haven't waxed it yet either - I need to put some Black Back on the exterior plastic before doing that, and just haven't had time with all the other stuff going on.



I actually discovered some boat damage as I was leaving last time. It looks like the dodger cover bracket had it's screws pulled out on the port side, probably during the wind storm sometime. I'm a firm believer in using bolts rather than screws on a boat, yet at the same time one always wants to reduce deck/hull penetrations and the chance of a leak. I'll look at it next week when I'm down there and decide what to do.
