Re: Milwaukee Packout tool storage
So far, I have ten Packout toolboxes:
3/8" SAE sockets
3/8" metric sockets
1/4" sockets
Screwdrivers
Electrical tools (stripper, crimper, torch, etc.)
Connectors (heat-shrink connectors for wiring)
Wiring (zip ties, wire anchors, etc.)
Hand tools (small stuff like pliers, wrenches, etc.)
Screws
Bolts
That's a hefty investment in storage, but it makes sense for me. I use tools a lot more than most people, and of course we'll be cruising full-time for the next few years.

Re: Pic Of The Day
We went to the Mount Vernon (IL) Airport. Perfect weather conditions. They had a $10 buffet in the airport terminal and free parking. Super nice people. Plenty of space to spread out, relax and enjoy the festivities.
I took this just as totality was ending. Some Bailey's Beads and solar flares.
Saw the 2017 eclipse in Kansas City and this one was waaaay better.

Re: Meet the new La Rea!
Today was a Big Day.
I only worked on the boat for 45 minutes, but that bit of work filled the last remaining hole in the instrument panels: the autopilot controller that has been backordered since November. Woohoooo, I am stoked! I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Someday soon, there will be a day when our biggest concern is wiping and polishing.
The only things missing from the main panel are the two phone chargers, which go in ... well, the only remaining real estate (left and right of the engine monitor).

Re: Meet the new La Rea!
Next project: a built-in inflator for the dinghy and water toys. It's a ScanStrut Atmos, and what a great addition this is! Connect the air hose, set the pressure, and press Start. It shuts off automatically. It's quieter and faster than any air pump I've used before.
I did have to cut a gigantic hole in the boat, but you guys know that sort of thing doesn't scare me!

Re: What did you do to your boat today
Picture of the cushions installed. @mattie I will look into the Seat Step.
Looks much better than the old ones
