But yeah, big hug always!

I'm still here not much going on. My son has continued to well on his tests. He din't even mention that the "widow maker" was coming up. I have been busy working full time and taking care of some elderly friends of the family on my days off. Not much spare time. What spare time I do have, I am hoping to do some swimming in our new pool. We sold our boat last fall in hopes of getting a larger one in a year or 2. In the meantime, we got the pool and our source of water fun. I have also been trying to get the flower beds done. Busy, busy, busy!

Husband spoke with son. Said the widowmaker was a very hard test and most thought so . He hopes they give a lot of partial credit as he didn't have time to finish. Marks come out this afternoon. I don't really know what this test tests. Is it the widowmaker becasue it counts for a lot of points?

My sailor is an EM and he said his test was on Reactor Principles but what was so scary is that it was worth 400-450 points and they have never had a test with that many points before. I guess all of the last 5-6 tests are worth that much. Don't know if it is the same for MMs and ETs.

Seem to recall our sailor saying the same thing about 500-point tests for the remainder of the classes as well.
