How weird is THIS?

It just hit me:

I ordered my MCS on April 1st.

She will be finished on Friday the 13th...

Harman Kardon plant fire in between...

Jeeze, I hope the ship doesn't sink on the way here.... aaaaaaaaaaah!!

Well it did rain cats and dogs on my wedding day and it's been happiness ever since so who knows, maybe I'll be lucky with the Coop.

And this was your 13th post, to boot! I think all those things you listed are good omens! Cheers! And congrats on the impending MINI delivery!

Just heard from Nugget who has been pals with yours on the fantail of the Maersk Teal. He says they're about 700nm from New York and can almost smell the city! Good thing his air filter is brand new! Pete

Good news! There are never more than 3 Friday the 13ths in a single year. Bad news... There is always at least 1 per year.

Oh, and the scientific name for the fear of Friday the 13th is paraskevidekatriaphobia.

"paraskevi"

And since my wife is Greek, I know that Friday in Greek is Paraskevi (which also her "official" Greek name, standing for Vicky). Definitley no phobia of her. :-)
No, we don't use Windex. ;-)

For me it was April 29th. Here's to hoping for a smooth transition into port tomorrow!

And Boon, it's a good thing Nugget is keeping my car company. Companionship is number one!
