Benefits Of Research

Yes, research has its benefits. And fortunately for me I have enough research skills for the current task at hand.

I now have evidence. EVIDENCE. Pure, hard, rock solid, crystal clear, evidence. And I fully intend to use this evidence for everything I can get out of it.

It all comes down to a very short, very concise, and very clear sentence.

26.02.01

Now exactly how important this turns out to be, or how far I can run with it, remains to be seen. But I feel a whole heck of a lot LESS depressed right now. Sometimes it pays off to spend some time combing over information that is just out there on the magical thing known as "the internet". This "internet" thing is good for more than free (illegal) music downloads, porn, online games, chatting, shopping, and of course blogging after all.

And I found that use. And I think I may have also found some light at the end of a long tunnel, full of many twists and turns.

I also found some other cryptic numbers of mystery that may also become useful. It is all stored on my trusty USB thumb drive, where it is safe from any computer mishaps.

Today is Boat Show day for me. It will be a very long day. It is almost 6 AM and I am still up. I may get a few hours sleep - but then again maybe not. Ill just fill up my trusty thermos with coffee and hope for the best. No matter what - it is a given that I will be spent at the end of today. I will resemble and talk like Frankenstein - only fewer neck bolts.

If it all works out with the uncovering of 26.02.01 there may be a renaming ceremony for the boat, which is currently named "Seagull".

I am thinking of "Victory". Then I can change my legal name to "Lord Horatio Nelson". Too bad the Seagull does not have a large transom. "HMS Victory" in large letters with "Miami, Florida" written in smaller letters below it would look good on it.

The real HMS Victory, the flagship of Admiral Nelson - one of the greatest Navy commanders that ever lived in dry dock at Portsmouth, UK. One of these days, I will step foot on board this magnificent ship - the last of her kind remaining. Wonderfully restored to her original 1805 "Battle of Trafalgar" glory days.

Although HMS Victory is the oldest commissioned ship still in service (she is still commissioned as the flagship of the Second Sea Lord) the USS Constitution (built a scant 30 years after Victory) is the oldest commissioned ship still afloat. I want to go to Boston and see her too one of these days. You can bet that if I win a drawing to be on board the USS Constitution during an underway demonstration, I will do whatever it takes to get to Boston. Including but not limited to selling a kidney on the black market.
