Dads new boat

[frshfishqueen]

Dad just bought a small yacht, 32ft express cruiser, he says it was the end of summer steal. It needs what we all refer to as TLC, to stay positive. Mom passed last Spring and it has just has been difficult for all of us. We are all experiencing a real void and although adjusting we’re filling it with some strange behavior. Like I re-decorated 2 perfectly nice rooms in my house -just because- and dad bought a car and fixed it up for my younger sister now has this small yacht. <br /><br />We’ll he’s great about the carpentry and handyman tasks but needs help in the cleanup. So I finally figured out what to get him for his birthday next month. Its one of those Roomba Robot Vacuums. We were watching the tube and he saw the commercial and thought it was the next best thing since sliced bread. <br /><br />I told him to get a cleaning women to come in.. god knows I can’t help <br />my motto is Housekeeping won’t kill you so why take the chance.<br /><br />So should I get him his Discovery Robot? Anyone have one and like it? <br />the way I look at it is he can use it in the house, in the cabin of the boat and if he buys an RV next year he’s covered there too.<br /><br />FrshFishQueen

How 'bout a link or something, so we can see what this robot thing is all about??<br /><br />And welcome to THE forum, Ms FFQ. Sounds like you're getting dragged into boating with whether you like it or not. Makes no matter how you get there, as long as you do!

FFQ - If that is one of those battery powered R2D2 vacumes that kinda does it's own thing by itself - From what I have heard they are neat conversation pieces but lousey vacumes. Get Dad a gift certificate at your local marine supply place and give him a hand with the TLC. Spending time with him will do a lot more for both of you than buying a big toy.

...interesting little robot!<br /><br /> http://www.irobot.com/newroomba/default.asp <br /><br />Looks like an oversized toy. Probably ok for light use, but not in my house with three kids, a cat, and a golden retriever. In two days that little robot would choke on it's own dust!
