Re: 1964 Starcraft Jet - Rebuild
Had one of those strange "moments" this evening. So the Admiral came out to have her dinner and a glass of wine in the garage whilst I was sanding the dash pad. It was kinda strange ya know... a bitter sweet moment if you will. I know this boat won't be staying with me for all that much longer... but it is as if I want it to... sorta dragging it out a bit but not??!!!
So after chatting with the Admiral for a bit, I decided that despite this fact, it will be going to a great home. Someone I have known personally for 15 years. Someone I know who is going to take really good care of her! I think sometimes, it is incredibly hard to let go of things... especially when a "part" of you is in it. It is a very strange thing. It just sort of came over me. Wave like if you will. Out of the blue. Unexpected. The older I get I realize more and more how little I truly know and how much more I want to know.
But I digress...... philosophizing over for this evening!
So here is where we are at --- a situation wrap-up or SITWRAP:
Dash pad is cut and sanded to a near done status:
Inside top pieces screwed in place temporarily... need them in place to fit everything else.
So... ya it wasn't the most productive boat building weekend as hoped.... but it was a great weekend. This week truly was a catch-up week at work. So now that things are settling down, it is time to get back to business and get some work done in the shop. Floor hopefully will arrive tomorrow. If not, I will move forward without it as best as I can.
Have a great evening fella's. Enjoy.
Jim
