Too Long!

It's been awhile since I posted any updates. I finally added the rubber coating today. I have a can of spray left because I broke off the nozzle by accident. I wanted to stand the boat up on the other side that's on the ground so I can spray the coating on the "Noodles" that the boat is resting on. I thought it wouldn't be a good idea because I'm still recovering from whip lash I got after being rear ended. Even though I'm out of commission I can still work on the paddle wheels. I won't be putting any strain on my neck and back. It also been very cold and rainy these last few days. I have to admit I'm happy to see the sun shinning through clear skies.

Transporting The Auset Fronds!

  Getting the Auset Fronds ready to be transported. She wasn't taken to the intended location I had planned on taking her, but the place she's in is secure. It took some real brain work to move her from underneath the carport. I discovered that my daughter has the mind of an engineer because she rigged the ramp to make it  easier for us to load the boat inside the truck! The boat was quite heavy, but we still got her on the truck. My daughter made this video for me  and she produced the music as well!
