Computer external keyboard and mouse cannibalized
Beginning of January 2017 - Tied up in Marina Mazatlán, Mexico
We have a misbehaving keyboard and mouse (external USB) and had a spare set but the keyboard batteries corroded inside making it not work. The mouse will not work with the old USB wireless adapter. Debbie took apart the two keyboards and got the spare to work with the current USB adapter. That now makes life easer on the keyboard side of it. The mouse still double clicks at random, closing programs etc. Creates havoc! Aaaahh, but they are several years old and cost less than a pizza so we got more than our use out of them. We will put them on the shopping list.

This is our old snubber (Sea-Dog Chain Gripper Plate - Stainless Steel). We had it spliced up with the thimbles at Sailing Supply in San Diego.
Removed chain bracket from anchor locker - new angle grinder - 2017
Beginning of January 2017 - Tied up in Marina Mazatlán, Mexico
This chain roller bracket came with the boat and was for the original windless which the original owner installed. It was a quality build and we tried every way possible to use it but we just do not need it. It does take up some good anchor locker space and is a knuckle cracker when cleaning the chain etc.
Now with the new angle grinder it will come off. We tried to get the bronze access port open to remove the nuts but we could not budge the cover. We did at one point have the access port open when we removed the bow pulpit and installed new anchor rollers. It will not budge now se we moved on to cutting off the bracket. We tried with the Dremmel tool but we were braking too many blades and it was taking forever on one screw. The angel grinder is a nice tool for cutting chain etc. on the boat.
