here is a bit of an update....
the Admiral and I got a rental Yukon XL courtesy of GM and spent May 11th thru the 20th driving to Wausaukee WI, cleaning out dads house (2 20 yard dumpters) repairing the siding on the side of the garage, tearing out carpet and getting the house listed on the market.

the clean out task was so daunting, I hired my nephew for a day and we busted up a bunch of furniture, etc. and filled one dumpster. the next day, I had a friend that lives about 45 minutes away joint to help. we moved the sleeper sofa and an entire check-out lane from my grandfathers hardware store.
physically and emotionally exhausting with every night ending about 10:30, then the hour and 45 minute drive to my mothers where we were staying in the guest room.
During that time I had a business visit to both Cruisers and Marquis/Carver
The Weekend prior to coming back was a birthday bash for a good friend of mine who turned 60..... yes we are all part of the grey haired movement.
nephew of my bud had a pile of VP 290 drive parts. complete transom shield assembly, mid section, both a SP and a DP lower and the blown up upper trans. this is left over from when a tooth broke off in the trans and grenaded his trans while under WOT
the DP lower is complete, however disassembled.
good score on spare parts
this past memorial day weekend spent most of Saturday sanding the bugs out of the dash. from there, scuffed up the entire cap again
Sunday was the dash spray, followed by Monday the cap and gunwales
No bugs, however the temp had the gel kicking in the gun on the cap spray.
a few chunks of kicking gel started spraying out of the cup, so I have some boogers to sand out as well as a large bird dropping that I had to wipe off wet and hose the area down with gel.....
