Quit with the excuses already Sir, pull up your panties and GIT ER DONE

I have some 100% Kona coffee i can send you if you need turbo boost

Moments (the deadline) like these are made for Kopi Luwak coffee. It's got that little extra kick to help keep ya focused:facepalm:.............
Congrats on the sweet extra pressure of a lake cabin weekend! Hope the kids don't start referring to you as the "Strange man living in the garage & muttering to himself"

We'll all rally & keep ya on track

Shouldn't you be wrenching or something?

Re: 1976 22' Starcraft Islander Rebuild

Yeah JBC, but you don't have to worry bout where the kona beans came from or from which end

rrumba - Yah, work seems problematic at the moment, rats. My bride has me closing out the kitchen project and on to the great room project, rats. I was really starting to sleep some too! Oh well, 3 am work sessions it is I suppose.

Yah guys, I'll be happy to take some of that Kona right along with that "passed" coffee

PMC - On it bro! This is my game to win

You can do it! All you need to do is mount a kicker bracket and you can have it on the water tomorrow.

Re: 1976 22' Starcraft Islander Rebuild

Splashing her in the UP for the second voyage sounds awesome, great idea

Manistique Lake, up near Germfask. Huge lake and lots of fish too. I love the names of places up there.

Lots of time left, I'm sure you can make it!

Re: 1976 22' Starcraft Islander Rebuild

Well, I just upped the ante. I just called and we are making it a full week at the cabin rather than just a weekend

-----------------------------------------

OK, went out, got a few steps farther in carpentry on the port side fish box.

Then I started eyeballin the Islander and thinking through all the steps to completion. Wough baby, I have a long way to go. I have a few big things to accomplish and a thousand small ones.

Then I walked out to the Sea Nymph to flip her over and push her back. Well I stopped and thought through the steps to completion on that boat. Long way there too.

I can't help but wonder if one would be (should be) quicker to the finish line than the other.

Hmmmmmmmm.........

I'll need to stew on this some. Maybe make a decision in the morning (morning run eh)





Edit: Sorry, please disregard my wondering mind. I've gotta stick with the Islander

Re: 1976 22' Starcraft Islander Rebuild

The Islander would make a nice tow rig for the SN. 1 for fun (for now) the other for fishing (in infinitum)

But for sure it's better to do the 1 well then both 1/2way....

I can do it, I just need to focus, and not sleep, and drink more coffee:facepalm:

Please do not take this the wrong way, but the LAST time you went for a run, you turned a thread upside down , and had me, for one, totally speechless!

No more runs, work work work !!!!!!!!!

Re: 1976 22' Starcraft Islander Rebuild

Ah sheesh, I am such a dope! One step forward, two steps back this morning!!! BAH!

So, got some coffee in the tank, excited to get rolling, started right off in the wee hours of the day, looking for some good progress.

So I took the port side fish box carcass and went to make the hatch access cuts. Took it up to the shop, flipped it over, carefully marked the layout lines, made the cuts.

Here are the cuts I was supposed to make...

Here is what I actually did...

Yup, I didn't account that the box carcass was flipped over - trying to work too fast! AAAAAAkkkkkkkkK!!!!! Rats!:facepalm:

Fer cryin out loud, whaaaat a doofis

A bit frustrated. It's fixable, pretty easy actually. I'm just bummed I lost a work session this morning. BAH! BLLLAAKKEHEHPTT!




OK, I feel better now

Re: 1976 22' Starcraft Islander Rebuild

Hope it's the 1st & the last oops for this week

Re: 1976 22' Starcraft Islander Rebuild

Measure twice cut once!! Been there done that, many times. Usually it is only a mistake to the person that did it, no one else will notice.
