Here’s my B.O.A.T. list where I’ll prove the old acronym, Break Out Another Thousand. There are always things that need to be fixed or upgraded, always things on the wishlist.  I figured it would be a good idea (or maybe not such a good idea…) to track the maintenance and upgrades over time.  The idea is that I’ll keep a wishlist of upgrades, required maintenance, completed maintenance and the cost related to the work.
