Holes in hull to repair elongated keel pin hole are done. Fast look at drawing looked like it said 11/16". WRONG! Had to have it redone. Still have not gotten around to climbing into boat to find keel pin to double check but hopefully it is done. Have the rust converter put on one side. Decided to go with Rustoleum brand. It's cheaper and I have used it before, so I know what to expect and that it works. Other then that about all that is going on is putting one foot in front of the other and taking it one day at a time. I keep having this bright idea that I really am going to get out of here next month. That's been going on for what, over a couple of years now? The up side is I am making progress each month.
Except for shocks in back, the van is ready to go short of a wiring issue. Rented a u haul trailer to get some work on house done and discovery I apparently have a wiring issue. ALMOST NONE of the trailer lights worked right. Better now then at the last minute but I tell you all these little surprises are getting OLD!
Old man winter is still trying to slow things down. Still in first week of April we are having night time lows in the 30's? What is this? Have decided once I get stuff finished sorted and cleared out the house is going as is. no more work except for one circuit to hot water heater I need to reconnect. Other then that not a lot happening boat related. Its all been about side work getting things ready to get boat busy.
I KNOW I WILL GET THROUGH ALL OF THIS! I will do it for no other reason then I an entirely to hard headed to quit, curl up and die. Blame my ancestors. Scot, Irish, Welsh, German, English and if the stories are true a bit of Native American, but giving up is simply NOT AN OPTION!
Not much else to tell. Sail safe but GET OUT THERE!
