You are getting a GOOD job. Set it back as you need to, and take care of the fam first, especially here at the holidays.

Experiencing the Big C myself with someone close. Know the feeling.

Best to you and yours, and all,

Scott

Hello all, it's been awhile since I posted and boy I have had alot happen besides my father-in-law having cancer and going thru chemo. On July 12,2010 I got the worst call of all from my daughter she found her mom-mom had past away in the night (Mom lived with us for the summers) wintered in Venice, Fla. So between dealing with my father-in-law and my mothers service and that whole scene, not alot has been done,until last weekend needed to clear my head and think about something else so off to the lumber yard and picked up the plywwod for the transom and started to cut and fit and get ready for some glass






Started fairing the area in the bilge so I can paint it and start the decking



And I have fixed the big hatch recored and started to fair that out



Heres a before picture



Oh ya did do a little tuna fishing in the beginning of the month



256lb Bigeye caught aboard the "Fish Trap" out of Beach Haven,New Jersey and the angler was Sue Kaiser . That's me at the bottom of the picture
