Saturday Morning, anyone?

[Tim McCrain]

I'll bring an inner tube for him and Cheryl!:Cold1:. There's 1 turn buoy accounted for....

Just bring a tube for Cheryl, Brendan won't be able to make it.

[Bflaherty]

Aaahhhh!!!

You guys are killing me!!

Tomorrow is my brother's birthday in Bonny Lake (@ 2) so I could bring the boat down for a cruise then continue on to the party or go with plan "A" which was to finally roll my Harley out from under the cover for the first time in 2011...

TOO MANY HOBBIES, NOT NEARLY ENOUGH SUN LIGHT!!!

[Tim McCrain]

Probably the boat would be best ...

Brian,

I wouldn't bring the Harley! It would be a lot of fun at first, especially for us, but then we'd have to help you drag it out of the water and being underwater might damage something ...

Have fun racing the Hydro's

[Tim McCrain]

Wow, what a beautiful morning it was! Dave Wickline, Jim Brooks, Gordon & Cheryl and I started the weekend off right!

Here's a few photos, notice how calmly Dave observes while his crew fends off an apparent boarding by pirates with a giant squirt gun.

I hope the weather and water are as great next weekend.

[Wickline]

What a great morning it was! The lake got a little more packed later in the day but not as bad as I thought it would. We pulled out of the water about 5pm, all a little sunburned!

When I got home Brendan and I shuffled some boats around and moved his Bell Boy out in front of the shop so he could get started on it, he's been itching to get working on her.

After building the cradle we slid her off the trailer and he starting pulling out the pulp from inside, along with years of rusty fishhooks, rotten rope, a large rock and an amazing assortment of scrap pieces of foam that had been stuffed everywhere. We had already removed the ancient radio direction finder and the leather doctor's bag containing the reloading press.

Now to introduce her to Mr Pressure Washer ...

Wow ! You guys went out that long? Who all show up ? The doctor on friday told me i could not more or less do anything ( but i did mow the front yard and went to the gas station to get air in the trailer tires while Sheila was gone and got a sick crow out of my office ) if i wanted to go out the following weekend to Blake island,So i sat home and pop pills and drank cough syrup...love that stuff ! This has been going on for two weeks. Mild case of pneumonia he said's. Chuck

[Helmar]

Man, you can't be throwing away that helm windows and frame. Thats sacrilege man.
I would bet that there are only a few of that model left on this Earth !!

[Skagitguy]

Tim, What a nice area outside of your shop. Do i see boxes taking up boat working area ? lol Chuck

[Helmar]

He is remodeling the house too so yes, kitchen stuff.

Never understood that "Remodeling" stuff myself.

Like, whats wrong with the cabinets, are they broken and have to be replaced??...

My house in Sandy was less than 5 years old and I got the, We need to remodel the kitchen. I said What ???.
Yes, the cabinets need to be changed.....
I said, Oh.....Then that 50's song came to mind.
Get a job, dah dah dah dah, Get a job, dah, you get the idea.

I think the next time I hear the word Remodel, I will just say, yes, I agree but my Truck remodeled is next :BigHappy1:

(I might regret posting this..............)

That's just a temporary resting place for the windshield, it's not going anywhere but back on the boat!

Ok........
Did you know that bell boy is one that Marty really wasn't sure about giving up. It was one of his favorites.

Nice boat. I have the newer one to that model, needs EVERYTHING of course.

Thanks Chuck, those are the old kitchen upper cabinets, waiting to be installed in the shop. (See Joe, that's why you remodel the kitchen!)

I'm a former cabinet and furniture maker and couldn't stand to spend the next 40 years looking at the cheap, barely finished cabinets that were in this kitchen. That would be like Marty only being allowed one boat, a '76 Bayliner Capri with an ACX plywood wheelhouse, green shag carpeting, a shark's mouth painted on the hull and crooked hand painted lettering on the stern that says "Old Guys Rool".

I won't even hang these in the shop until I paint them ...

Marty's is being lovingly stored inside at Slo-mo's place awaiting restoration, Brendan's boat is its twin that Slo-mo and I towed up from Tacoma about a year ago. It really is a sweet design, I can see why it was one of Marty's favorites.
