Good vibes day,,, except for some gnats,,,

Home, late afternoon, finished fairing the repairs on Lyssa, and masked off her Gunwale lines.   A little acetone wipedown to get rid of greasy Dio and Grizz tracks and mixed up the epoxy paint.   4 oz first coat, and the shine is to die for.

Second coat, wanna get it on quick as the temps are starting to fall, another 4oz mix. (resin, hardener, white pigment) and start rolling it on.   That shine starts getting even better.

Go in house to take care of a download I had started and a small learning curve on a new to me piece of equipment (Cricut stencil cutting ‘printer’,   It has uses beyond making stickers, trust me.) (another Muchos Gracias out to B and T,,,,) Print out my first sticker (I did say ‘learning curve’,  ya gotta start somewhere.) and then go check on Lyssa.   

Well now.   Dammit,,,

Dropping temps, gnats came out and I now have a half dozen STUCK to Lyssa’s hull.   Other than that, I am quite pleased with the whole thing. But the damned bugs just made my job a bit harder,,,   Gonna let her cure for a couple days then wetsand her down with 1000 grit and buff her back to that shine I am seeing.   Maybe the only parts of the gnats that I have to deal with are their microscopic legs and that will be just fine by me.   I hopes anyways,,,,

Frillin’ bugs!!!  Hatez ’em!!!

And in my earlier post, I said that I was not going to get anymore water time before the double nickles day,,,,WRONG!!!!   Bossman texted me this afternoon and told me “labor day, take off muhnday”.    Dammit!   I knew it was but was hoping that it had slipped his mind and that we would get a day in.   Well, I could,,,except my job right now requires a second back to move the peices around with me.   If there is no one else showing up (and you know they won’t) I ain’t building that monster gate, SO, I take a lake day, OR I tear into Buff like a bad habit and have a truck down for a couple of days.   (I have intentions of starting on her after this upcoming weekend/birfday,, has plans with friends and don’t wanna F! ’em up,).  As of right now, Lyssa is ‘watching paint dry’ or cure as the case may be, Buff is piddlin’ stuff I can handle that won’t hold her up for days on end, and Domestic duties that happen every sunday,,,  So monday,,, 

yeah,,, get wet,,,

(notice no pics?   Yeah,,,  I’m home and the signal out here sucks big green greasy donkey dicks,,,,   When i was at the lake earlier, the signal was spot on and I was able to load that vid in just a few minutes, not DAYS like out here, or hours for a simple (reduced quality) pic,,,,)
