Looks like an African Grey to me...which would only need to bite Ms. Kitty once to get the point across. Am I right WhiteFeather?
Aquanut, Regretfully we must cancel on the weekend's festivities. The family problems I emailed you about have come to be a pressing engagement. Please accept our apologies for being unable to attend. We were looking forward to getting to meet all of you but, as I explained in the email, we have no choice in the matter. 
Although we can not make the cookout we will be keeping up with the results of the meeting. We will be available at other times and our boat will be available from time to time for hunts and diving or explorations. If you are planning a trip into the Florida Keys or Florida's S.W. Coastal area and would like to stop in we will be here until we decide it is time to start cruising and searching some of the wrecks and coastal areas that we have on our list of places to hunt. Hopefully we will be able to leave the marina in the next two months for a trip up the I.C.W. to the Chesapeake Bay for the summer. The engines are almost finished and the other improvements are coming along great. We still have a serious problem with the main generator but I feel confident that with a little help I will have that solved soon. (I knocked a can of spray down into the control box while the generator was running under a test load.) The can damaged something in the open control panel. I am not a generator repairman but am becoming one as soon as I learn how to spell it and spend a night at the Holliday Inn Express. Then I'll fix it and move on to other repairs and upgrades.
