Sweet Floor!

Look at the beautiful floor that Matt cut!
And the door is back on at the back of the cabin.
Also, notice the the foam square that is preventing Matt from hitting his head ... again!

Soapbox #2

Snopes.com


Heard of it?


Two reasons why Snopes.com should be your best friend:

  1. Consider the upcoming election. It's always good to verify information you receive in order to discover a truer picture. This story, for example, that I've received in my inbox a couple of times this week.
  2. Consider people before forwarding that email! You know the email that I'm talking about. The one that made you sweat when you ready it. The one about needing to register your cell phone? Or your house burning down? Yea, those ones. I got them .... a few times. Don't need 'em anymore. Especially since they're a load of ....

However, if you first check snopes and find out that the email that's been around the world and is now in your inbox is VALID, send it on! I'll be glad to read it.

You'll find that the true story is often more interesting than the made-up one. For example, this story about the Monkee's Mike Nesmith.

Oh, and the ones that say "checked on Snopes and it's true" at the top. Make sure you double-check those ones. I'm getting those lately and .... what was that? They're false!? They lied? Say it's not true!

... stepping down off of the soap box. Thank you.

Boat + Paint = Better!

We still have some things to work on, but it looks a lot better than the picture in the previous post!



Matt painted the majority; I did some. However, I did most of the cushion in the cabin! What a pain! One more to go!

Fiberglass

I love to learn new things. Even if it's not fun, it can be nice to be able to say that you know how to do something.

I know how to resin fiberglass! What amazing stuff!



It was fun at first, but I got a little bored with it. And I got tired of the stickiness!

Climbing the Charts!

Yeah! I just checked my Google Reader subscription trends and I now have 5 subscribers to my blog! Last month I was at 4!

I don't know who you are Number Five, but HELLO!
(Did anyone notice the subtle reference to Short Circuit?)

Now it's official when I post to "all my five readers"!
Woo-hoo!

I know I've been on this soap box before, but if you haven't tried Google Reader, you really should. It is the best way to keep track of all the stuff you want to read.

Summer is Crazy!

It is seriously difficult to make time to blog in the summer.


I know my five reader's aren't pensively waiting for the next entry, but there are a few people out there who I know are wondering what happened to me .... just like how I wonder when I don't see any updates from them. Here's a recap:


My dad turned 70! And we celebrated at Cowboy Grub.
We built a bridge and a fence.
We had guests at our house and partied on the 4th.

We spent a week in Boise.
We drove to California.
We fixed a boat trailer.
We towed a boat home.

We're updating our 1966 O'Day Mariner sailboat.
To date, it looks much prettier than above. I'll get some updates on here soon!
