Shopping today

I went grocery shopping today and for the first time in a couple of years I purchased vanilla IceCream!!!!! FU$K YEH. I haven't had ICE CREAM in since a BBQ with Bob and Mary Anne - likely 2 or 3 years ago. Needless to say, Ice Cream come in only once size "A SINGLE SERVING"!!!! I got the pint version of a SINGLE SERVING. It made an awesome lunch :)
Also picked up the material to make a bridle for the Anchor. I'm currently using a Snubber and that would be great, but when the winds are 20+kts for several days a single 5/8" line on the anchor is not comforting. So now I have rigged a bridle with two 3/4" lines connecting to a Mantis hook. Looking good. Instead of splicing the lines I'm trying to use an Alpine Butterfly for the connection to a thimble then to the Mantis hook. The winds are only 5 to 12kts right now, so the knot may not fully tighten tonight.
