easy as can be

With my house and my big car and my job, I have it as easy as can be.

I can feel the power as it swims by, making the boat rock with the whoosh-whoosh-whoosh of its giant tail shoving it through the water easy as can be.

Man on the dock said the tail can move faster than the eye can see, but this one is going slow, gliding along as easy as can be.
