    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    I've had bad health days again for the last several days; yesterday especially so. The only thing that I was physically able to do yesterday was to go look at the touch up paint area on the KF spray rail. As usual for me... it suuuuuuucks! :facepalm: :lol: I'm going to have to sand it down...

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    Today we did a little more. I started sanding and smoothing the "S" in the small letter set to see if the set could be salvaged. I did a really lousy job cutting out those small letters and they'll require a significant amount of time to get properly cleaned up for painting. Took me nearly an...

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    Well, we did get out there and worked for an hour or so. Pulled the new deck back out and stuck some of the old deck and a spare piece of plywood in the boat so that we could sand. And sand we did. Didn't take long at all using 220 grit paper and electrified sanding devices. ;) "Working"...

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    I'm pretty weak from tapering down the Prednisone but this afternoon I went out and removed the chairs and whatnot from the KF. I'll need the boy's help to get the deck out. But once that's done we'll put some temporary wood in there so that we can start sanding the inside of the hull...

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    Another doc appointment this morning (routine) and no safety monitor this afternoon so I couldn't do much. But I got bored enough to get out there in this nice cool weather and futz around a little. I placed the seats and bases inside the KF (from outside the boat) to get a better idea of...

    Insight spacecraft just landed on Mars

    I watched it live on the NASA channel. I was holding my breath just like the folks in the control room. Completely nerded out. Brings back big time memories for me. :nod: :D The first image from the lander on the ground has already been received...

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    This morning the boy and I went out and sat and cogitated on what to do next. My initial thought was to have my buddy come get the boat so that he can get the trailer welding done. But with his busy schedule, I may not get the KF back until springtime! :cool: So while we were discussing...

    I bought the 303 Spray Wax today and it worked well. All clean! :) Ready to get back on the trailer.

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    Non-medical appointments kept us busy all day yesterday and half of today but this afternoon we got the KF out of the garage and washed clean. Four months of grime needed to come off. The weather was perfect for boat washing today. Much better! Then we cleaned up the workbench and...

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    We're back! Sort of... :rolleyes: The last 3 weeks have been quite eventful. Too eventful. :mad: Took until a few days ago for my health to return to "normal" in the sense that I'm not hospitalized. Numerous doc appointments over the last couple weeks and more to come. Ugh. The doc told...

    B.A.S.S. vs MLF

    I haven't been paying much attention to the bassin' world other than struggling to regain my old skills when I get a chance.:cool: I've been a Bassmaster for some 35 years and was surprised to learn of the major changes happening there when I read my November issue of B.A.S.S. Times. Turns out...

    2footitus cured

    If it were me, I'd just hang another 50 Merc on the back of that Starcraft Star Trek-V and call it good! Gonna need a backup motor anyway. And the weight would be about the same as the 100HP single. :D Looks to be a neat boat. Got pix? :joyous:

    I'm home! :D Surgery wasn't required. Whew! This ol' boy would NOT look good with a colostomy bag! :puke: Did get a few battle scars from the treatment though. :rolleyes:
