Frank, how are you doing!
Oh Boy, miss the energy of way back then....
But I am stirring the stew. Ordered sails from the finest sailmaker on the planet.
That alone is a huge boot in the butt.
Now have too large, but to hell with it, Hayn rigging....from Rigging Only.....rig da blinking mast.
Ready to fit the mahogany coamings. Still agonizing how to mount the winches. Whether to cap or not!!
Have an enormous urge to paint the mahogany bulworks with the same grey paint that's on the boot top...
(can do that later...right?)(lemmie see, seal w/ epoxy, fill the grain, 3 coats of varnish...then paint!)
You once told me the secret was to finish EACH project, only then move on to the next...
I have seventeen of them going like spinning plates. Ooops
Many have fallen, couple broke, and may have forgotten how the hell I ever got them spinning.
It's always been like this....
This time I'm getting there. Have to....
Gotta quit the job.
Ree diculous, I'm two decades beyond retirement. Getting out of jail without a 'free' card.
Holding the bright image. Feel the tiller in my hand.
Pushing off....oh man... the boat is coming alive..
Pull the hat down, adjusting the shades, here ah come!
Really.
