The prop is gunna get shined up . I might can talk the Admiral into working on that . At least get it close then I could finish it up .

Update ..
I got cleared o go back to work last Thursday.. No BLT’s . Feels good to walk up a stair case without your legs feeling like jello ... I still find myself wanting to do more like Woody said .. I got my son to get the deck pieces I made out of the boat so I can start the finish on them...
