No rest for the wicked....and I'm wicked

Thursday last week Candy Joanne, Kathie Morley, Sandy Morgan, and Sherry Brash headed off to Lexington, Ky for a weekend long girlfest with Susan Robin. Candy loved it. I'm sure there was some talking and gossip involved. There was also a slumber party in PJs, a trip to the races (she won $50 -Yahoo), and some knick knacking.

I took the time to rip up the boat. Since I have a couple of weeks before we head to the rock for Thanksgiving it seems safe. Since I continue to have trust issues with the holding tank I just took it out. Pretty easy really....just disconnect the hoses and pull it out. Oh yeah...it is a pretty shitty job though. All in all a really good move because it's now confirmed that there are small holes in the tank at the seams and lots of pitting....most likely caused by electrolysis.

It'll also give me the opportunity to replace the hoses and re bed the pump out deck plate. There was enough moisture under the deck plate that I've left it off for a time to let the deck wood dry.

The cool thing is that the bilge has now been bone dry for 4 - 5 days. I've even painted the part where the bilge pump goes with LP.

What else your ask? I ripped off the acoustic insulation from the forward and aft engine room bulkheads and am replacing with painted marine plywood. Nows the opportunity and I'll need a good surface to mount filters, inverters, and etc. on anyway.

More to come and I also need to figure out how to post pictures. I just know you want to see them.

Almost forgot. The tenant in Genevieves town home gave notice last month and moved out this weekend. While she left the place in very good shape it's still 30+ years old and needs some freshening up if we want to improve Gens income. That project is now getting under way also.

Selling Jason's truck is somewhere in the mix also.

Candy and I are good and we hope you are also. Brandon and Kirsten - we'vve loved your recent posts about the train and soup. Kirsten is such an entertaining writer.
