good morning and welcome aboard calypso we've been working hard to get her ready to leave the
dock and today is no different let's get started this looks like an enjoyable job i don't even
know why i'm wearing this light because i didn't i forgot turn on yeah i got your new um toilet seat
this smells man it smells like piss whenever i take these things that's disgusting yeah
apparently pisses all over the seat i know that's primarily why i wanted a new one it's just like
it's real bad that's lovely oh my gosh how much would here lick it oh we are pretty much clean
freaks so you got a new toilet seat how much was it it fits i have no idea what i don't know i just
went and searched for raritan and you said i want a new toilet seat and i said okay
uh we got i'm gonna clean that off first but doing a great job there honey thank you it's gross
i know if you'd stopped spraying pistol over the seat it wouldn't happen yeah right um it's
not me i know who it is it's not me yeah that's your favorite right there i had to use the good
stuff i think it's clean now that's good all right i'm gonna install it okay it's coming in pretty
new toilet easy enough should be simple but it's not exactly the same as they advertised so this
is the tricky side here how do you like this rare town i love it and john put this there foreign in
shortly before we bought the boat it's just a piss-poor design oh boy here we go jeremiah has
been working hard on maintenance lately and i think bad service from companies is starting to
affect him actually i know it is stay tuned for a grumpy old captain welcome to lazy gecko sailing
looking for something exciting free and real if so you found the right place
please click on subscribe so you don't miss any of the fun
engineers are the dumbest in the world sometimes they made some [ __ ] that guarantees it's going
to get loose it's hard to get to the back you can't hide it from the top it's asinine it's
stupid like i don't know what engineer bemus came up with this idea and said this is a good idea
it should just simply have a screw on top goes in not in the bottom not this big where you
can't tighten them from top because you there's things back there you can't move around like that
it's stupid so you ordered the correct toilet seat they sent you a different one yeah this is
whoever i ordered this from probably west moraine uh said this is a raritan seat like it came from
the elegance whatever error tan it's not the raritan it's just a bemis river beamus i think
it's the same thing i got from the other one oh yeah but but this one's poorly designed stupid man
send it back you kept the old parts yeah yeah i can put it back on i'm gonna clean it first
what do we got going on here what are you cooking i am cooking roasted butternut squash
and marinated red onion salad is this for all of us or is this just for you this is just for
me but you are welcome to try i actually think you might like this one brittany's been making
a lot of different foods and stuff which is awesome it's like almost like a hobby of hers
and sometimes she makes it for just us sometimes just her sometimes all of us be careful babe
i wouldn't call it a hobby i call it a lifestyle change yeah it's good i've always
been really into cooking and baking and all that kind of stuff um i've always enjoyed it
honestly and people a lot of questions like i met a girl last week and she's like but
how do you cook i'm like what do you mean yeah i'm like i actually cook more integrated meals
now than i ever did yeah you know because of what i've been going through with my health
yeah look at that those are marinating okay the onions are marinating the onions are marinating
that's cool reese does a little bit of alone time each day and then tonight we actually got him in
the soccer game tonight yes you're doing a major upgrade here yeah we want to do upgrades to the
tvs for a long time it's nice to finally do that and i put up a tv in our room and then also in
reese's room and we're upgrading our like salon tv to an led q lid which is awesome that's where the
tv goes check out reese's tv replacing tvs with lighter smart tvs and installing one in reese's
room will be great for evening entertainment aboard boom the only thing is that wire's
hideous but he's gonna get rid of it he said just not tonight come up that way good job take a peek
at our tv it's very nice i love it we're really happy we're taking the opportunity to make a
few nice to have upgrades as well this is so much easier to do while in the united states
are you back here just basking in the new tv i am it's so pretty i just took a picture of it
yeah i like it feels good i i'm glad i went with the white oh fireworks it looks great honey you
did a good job thanks well we'll see the one in the living room might fall down we'll see
the the screw in the back's a little loose but sorry i hope not yeah it'd be all right yeah i
mean the installation went nice yeah it only took you like three hours yeah this one took you the
longest well this was this one had a lot of detail to it like you know running the cables and all
that do you like them yeah i don't think they're great this one out here looks great like the one
i put on a kid movie and reese's lewd because it's like cute it's all bright let's see what john
said love it one of the things that this boat has always had an issue with is the navigation lights
this navigation light and the stern navigation light never worked it wasn't a huge priority
because we have a tri light at the top of the mast which is legally fine uh it worked great and
i figured i'd get to this one day and today's the day so what i did was i went and i took it apart
made sure i shot the wires make sure the wires were good they are in the process i kind of
saw what had happened so this thing looks like it had somewhere along the line maybe got some
salt water in it or something like that and it just fried it this is an led light in here and
i'm replacing it with leds same same brand perco they're expensive they're about 250 bucks light
but if you look in here i don't know if you can i'll take this off
this thing's just it is like arced out completely fried
look at the back of this thing it's nasty right yeah that's pretty nasty there i don't know if you
can see but it's all burned up in here i actually i already pulled the wires through before and i
seal them off but um it's just all burnt up in here so this is the old lights it's
gonna remove all this i'm going to clean it up and put a new one on and we should have a good
light and then we'll use the dinghy the other side
this nav light working will help with making calypso more visible while underway at night
which is pretty important
just replaced the starboard side and boom looking nice i kind of like the white
the other one was black on the outside didn't have an option option for black this time but
i kind of like it it's nice and sealed um all the way around real good bead of 4000
so that should stop any more salt water leaks i kind of like the way the white looks i like
it too baby we're getting her all shipshape and we just got a phone call just got off the phone with
the canvas place and our city cushions are ready it's been six long weeks i'm gonna go pick them up
right now jeremiah is taking off the other stuff that we need to bring to them what you got there
what do you want to tell them is you want to replace this whole strap
because they're all getting dry rotted and if they can replace these that'd be great too
but these go through here right yeah and you want to tell them because some of them are
broke so they don't want to do the same length this one barely is long enough they want to make
you want to make have them make it at all of them at least as long as the longest one
okay so you want them as long as the longest one and replace these because
they're dry rotted yeah and then the button on this can you remove your marine guys
this little button right here and then you want these sewn back together correct on both
all right so we will be able to have seti cushions uh it's about an hour drive but it sucks sitting
on this just the boards it wasn't supposed to take this long i don't know they were waiting on canvas
and foam and whatever else but when i called she told me it would only take up two to three
weeks or something something much less than six weeks at like half the time my holidays yeah it
was over the holidays as well but i still told them that and they were able they told me they
were able to get it done either way they couldn't but i'm happy they're getting it now my back hurts
and jeremiah won't even lay on the city boards i mean he won't even sit on them for that crap man
he's been laying right here so he won't lay on the hard
boards but he'll lay on the hard counter i don't know have you liked laying sitting on the settees
yeah by wearing the boards too sometimes what do you use you've been using my pillows huh yeah
yeah so when we do school work rhys gets a pillow and i get a pillow but my back's still been
killing me so i'm super happy to get the set tea cushions back they look great they're very white
which i love i think it's really going to brighten up the salon area i'm looking forward to it it's
nice and smooth and soft they put a little bit firmer foam in there but we wanted them to because
since we spend a lot of our time in the salon area working editing videos i teach school in there
we spend so much time there we eat dinner breakfast lunch and dinner and we watch movies
there so i'm excited to get these into the bone i know jeremiah is really looking forward to it
we brought them on board and set them up they're even better than expected
how nice is it to have settee cushions back amazing
you wouldn't even lay on the settee it feels like a brand new boat this harken button has been going
for a while now i just noticed this one's kind of starting to go now but i got an extra part i had
to order the whole button and it wasn't easy to find but i finally found one it just basically has
deteriorated down here's the new one calypso is loving all this attention
clean this up and put some more sealant down when we replace this but
this is the bad part here so these little pieces are stuck together
just peel the old one off that's the button right here you can see some of that stuff's kind of
going in there this is just the this is a button push that we're just going to put a new one on
have a nice new button when you come home so i'm just gonna do a little line some silicone type
sealant put the same cover back on one thing it's good to do is whenever you're putting multiple
screws in anything you get them all threaded all seated before you tighten anything down
you might need some super glue for that what do you think cool you look better now yeah putting
the sail up i'd push on it it would stick on the button and i'd have to like try to pry it back out
you know because it would hold it once we keep going i have to rip the line off so this would
be nice it's cool that this thing came in pieces because now i have a backup for the little button
inside and for the cover so that's cool i mean obviously it's missing the one piece i just used
but i'll order another one of these probably replace that and
you know if the internals go i can replace that so it's always good to keep this kind of stuff
i'm happy when i can get a piece and replace something and then have some spares
coming soon on the lazy geckos i'm gonna go for it it's my underwear on backwards not sure when that
happened i've never seen the inside of a microwave this is pretty freaking amazing thank you for
everybody that has followed us we have jason pinko here today inner dioma is spliced into itself
