Had a nice holiday weekend in LA with Carol. Delightful Thanksgiving dinner with my cousin and her daughters, daughter's boyfriend and his two bulldogs. Saw the new Bond movie and had fun picking up a few things at Koontz Hardware, a huge hardware store that carries lots of unusual things.
The work week was shaped by a chess game with the weather. I finally managed to finish and temporarily install the two refurbished louvered vents after weeks of sanding, filling, sanding filling, priming, filling, sanding, filling, priming, painting, sanding, painting, sanding, painting, etc. Unfortunately, one of the two "final" coats of Cetol on the cockpit coaming was damaged when the rain came a little too soon. Why one and not both? Go figure.... Not a huge deal to sand and recoat when the weather allows.
With several days of unsettled weather in the forecast, I went back to work inside the aft cabin and started work on the small head. While the job is nominally inside, I still need to do some cutting and milling outside in the cockpit, which makes things a bit challenging. If the weather gets bad enough to put a stop to that work, I have a few other backup projects to work on.
With the onset of winter, there are more beautiful sunrises and sunsets, but far fewer flowers.
damn bad news about the cetol...and I was so impressed last weeks
