Its been raining daily since the beginning of May

makes it really hard to work on the boat, especially since the boat is 150% larger than the garage I own.

currently waiting for this little rain squall to quit so i can glue in a bulkhead..... that I have been wanting to glue in for 3 weeks.

that is all.

Well make it bigger then

Build a bigger garage..

:)

would love to. however the lot/property/HOA, etc prevent me from a second drive without moving a storm sewer. (I cant afford that....I asked) I plan on building a shed, however that is just to get the mopeds, bikes, lawn equipment out of the garage so I can park the daily whip in there.

only way to a bigger garage is to sell..... and the admiral likes the house.

however this fall when the rest of the US is winterizing, i will be spraying gel..

and yes, we will be boating this winter :D

Don't worry Scott, in a couple of months we will be covered in snow and you can laugh at me when I gripe about the snow plow breaking down!

:facepalm:

You can use a sawsall to cut the boat in half, then you can work on one half at a time ...

At least you are on the clean side of Florance!

Yep sounds like it's hitting land as a cat 4 .. Not good ! If your in the path time to batten down and make plans to get out if you can ..

We have been dealing with flooding from the Gordon remnants today ... we are hoping water levels drop before Florence gets here ...

here, the frogs simply find there way from floating to under the hood of the trucks and cars.... we have Brahminy blind snakes floating and worms..... millions of small worms sitting on anything to keep them above the water. they are sitting on the concrete edging around my backyard fence they are too small to get a hook in them..... I tried.
