5 hours later.


So, this is what your supposed to look like after an afternoon of boat building......(happy, but dirty)



Here is a new 22'' fairing board I made. I was using spray glue to hold the sandpaper on to my old ones, I would have to heat up the paper with a heat gun to get the glue to release, then glue another piece on. It was hot, stinky, sticky, and a complete pain in the ass. With this one I just loosen the screws, take out the old piece of paper, and stick a new piece in, tighten it down, and get back to it. Tomorrows another compound application day, so back to sticky instead of dusty.

Bet you are in the "groundhog day" phase of the project - every day seems the same and you don't see much progress forward. Don't get impatient and break out the power tools!

Sneak your daughter & wife out to Eldora for an afternoon. Better yet, Winter Park/Mary Jane. Do they still run the ski train?

Hope to get out there this summer - one of my best friends lives in Parker.

Yup, groundhog day, but I'm staying after it. I don't post pictures anymore because it always looks pretty much the same. I would be farther but I go snowboarding every Friday. Last week I went to MaryJane and took part in the 40" POWFEST. So that shot me for sanding on Saturday as well. I have some work scheduled for tonight, maybe I'll post some pictures.
