I walked on it yesterday and it is 100% solid. No soft spots to be found.

Re: What did you do to your boat today
I put her in!
She was ready to splash but with an expected crappy weekend I didn’t plan to launch but wanted to get the dock box, the new (to us) dinghy down to the club and fenders and lines on ready. So loaded up the Admiral’s Pilot Trailsport - that thing has more room than the Highlander we had, box slid in with room to spare all round - headed down and got lines and fenders on. A storm was brewing apparently around 30 minutes away but the water was up so screw it, got a friend to grab a truck and get her in. Tied up at the ramp and it poured for another 30 mins but once done she fired up like I ran her yesterday. Docked at home slip, spend the afternoon while it rained again getting inside wiped down, water systems purged, checked AC (yes! it self primed this year) and changed out a noisy mid bilge pump.
Nice to be in, let the season begin!

Re: Joke of the Day
When I was young I really sucked at docking at the marina. I can tell you now after countless gelcoat repairs screaming at the dock and years of practice, I am no longer young.

Painted the bottom this morning.



Very impressed with interlux bottom paint. It mixes easily! With one gallon I put a nice heavy coat on, had enough to do two coats at the transom also the sides. Still have enough left to paint when the stands are removed.

Sorry I cut off the stern of the amazing L590

Re: Joke of the Day
So, after landing my new job as a Walmart greeter—a good find for many retirees—I had less than a day.
About two hours into my first shift, a very loud, mean-acting woman walked into the store with her two kids, yelling obscenities at them all the way through the entrance.
As I had been instructed, I said pleasantly,
"Good morning and welcome to Walmart. Nice children you have there. Are they twins?"
Of course, her children were at least two years apart, and while they shared some similar features, they certainly didn’t look like each other.
The woman stopped yelling long enough to snap,
"HeII no, they ain’t twins. The oldest one’s 9, and the other one’s 7. Why the heII would you think they’re twins? Are you blind or just stupid?"
So I replied,
"I’m neither blind nor stupid, ma’am—I just couldn’t believe someone slept with you twice. Have a good day, and thank you for shopping at Walmart."
My supervisor later said I probably wasn’t cut out for this line of work. 🥰🥰🥰

Re: What did you do to your boat today



Small things but they help the overall feel of the boat being clean. Waiting for the cooler weather and rain on Sunday to wash the boat. I don't like doing it when it's warm and sunny. Less chance of water spots when it's cool and showers.
