“If you don’t get all that Teak re-done by May, you might end up spending your whole summer in a VAN, down by the RIVER!”
I’m finding it REALLY easy to find things to do that do not involve digging teak caulk out of my deck.
The biggest excuse of course is my poor classmate that I’ve recruited – after all I don’t want to mess with what he is doing, right? He’s busy busy over there, and I will just show up and mess with his work space and lose his tools. Yeah right. (note to self…it is your boat)
The cold is a good one. It has been fairly cold here of late, and working on a boat under the shrink wrap when it is 12 degrees outside and the wind is howling is not in my list of “Top Ten Ways to Spend a Snowy Afternoon.” I’ve got a little propane heater for under there but it’s really not enough when it’s that cold.
There there are the other things…meetings, volunteer work, classes, working out. Yes…I did type “working out”, which for the last 42 years has been one of my least favorite past times. But it is quite warm at the gym, and no one can fault me for trying to take care of my health, right?
Of course this is getting serious – we are already thinking of plans for the next sailing season, some of which are quite early like a trip to Boston to watch some of the Volvo Ocean Race in port events. And the teak needs to be DONE before I do this.
Or, that part which we are going to get to this year needs to be done at least.
So this week, in spite of needing to prepare for a GBSA board meeting, to attend a public safety hearing, to work out several more times, to help get a GBSA mailing out, to pay some bills, to update my blog, to wash my hair…see, I’m doing it again.
At least four hours of caulk peeling this week or ELSE!
