The horrible logistics phase has arrived. Something to haul this thing would be nice. Got that: only a 160 mile round trip to pick up a trailer and a 160 mile round trip to drop it off. Easy. Something to put the boat the boat on this trailer would be nice. I exhausted all my options to beg a fork lift. Now all I have to do is rent one for way too much plus the drop  off and pick up fees of way too much. A place to stay while we are reassembling the boat would be nice. I maybe have found a place that rents half a room for cheap. A boatyard would be nice. I found a place here: http://www.pier77texas.com/​   I'm sure that you won't to be able to just click on that and it will work. There's a way. I don't know it.  Anyway, I digress (Sigh....again). Where were we? Oh yeah, you take all that stuff and stir it up and' hopefully, it all coincides with the correct time frame for Budge to sneak away from the family for a few days. It all teeters precariously on a  teetering construction of contracts woven loosely with promises and deposits (more like suppositories). 

Sergey launched. Here's his slide show: ​https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xtcgg6FYJGQ

​Oh, poo, I have to write this thing? I'm not in the mood.
Picture
We twiddled with different projects, After waiting for me to coat and paint everything, Budge mounted the rope clutch onto the plate only to discover that it was upside down. Somehow, one of the nuts was frozen on the bolt and we had to end up cutting it off with a grinder. Another simple, easy project made complex and difficult. We are good at that.
I worked in the galley on tile clean up and installing doors, drawers and tilt-outs. They required a lot of tweaking to get the alignment correct. We worked this week on numerous things, none of which were worthy of description, interest or photographs. I made a trip to the metal guy to get the wind generator mast made. Budge caulked the sink drains and plumbed the water to the sinks. I started making trim for the tile. I painted, epoxy coated minor bits.

Rocky showed up again to measure some more cushions.  He says most are done. He is in his own world and will get it finished. He, also, twiddles.

I worked getting stuff together, exhausting all cheap options on transportation to the coast. All I have to do is throw money at it......sigh.

Some exciting week that was and, guess what......I don't care. I cannot think about it. I will be overwhelmed and my brain will explode.
