December 24, 2012

It's Christmas Eve day and I'm enjoying a white Christmas in Des Moines visiting Carol's family.  Quite a change from the cactus garden at Carol's place in LA to 20 degrees and a foot of snow in the midwest!  In the few days before I left, I jammed with Jordan to get the teak trim around the doghouse ground down, sanded and protected from the impending rain with a coat of Smith's penetrating epoxy.  I also managed to get a fourth coat of Epifanes RapidCoat on the teak in the aft head.  It looks good enough to call it "done."

I'm posting a bit early this week because today may be the only day I can gain access to a computer and Internet connection while in Des Moines.  It will also be my last post of 2012.  It's hard to believe another year has gone by so quickly and there is still so much more to do on Circadian.  But looking back through the old posts reminds me how much has been accomplished, so I don't feel quite so bad.

I wish everyone a happy holiday and a wonderful new year, and I thank you for staying with me ANOTHER year.
