Good morning 11 and its trying to be sunny. Cookie I haven`t had any dealings with them personal or business wise are you looking at one? I think they are family run and are very well respected for quality boats but thats about it.
Have a great day

Good day all. Rainy and wet today but fairly warm out.

Reg nice Swinger you posted. If you get a chance to get some more pics of it being built I'd love to see them.

Good morning. Well it looks like we will be having very warm weather here for the next day or two. We have lots of sun going 30 today but feeling closer to 40.
Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Reg that is slate grey or something close to it. Non epoxy paint, just good water base.

by jgl360 Tue Jun 09, 2020 1:18 pm

Have a good one and stay safe.

Hello there 15 and boy did it rain today, luckily I was doing patterns on a fly bridge @#$%%. So we are well entrenched into Juneuary now ......great this covid thing is pissing/frustrating people off enough and now lousy June weather Makes for some grumpy full moon people. I have a full moon rule no work goes out on a full moon week, I am not sure what rule I will need to implement for the covid full moon rule but I am going to make one up real quick.

Wow another extremely warm day today 32 with a humidity up around 40 again. Have to take my dog for an ultrasound tomorrow morning. She’s getting up in age, so She is beginning to have some issues.
Have a great day.

by Ragtacker Wed Jun 10, 2020 8:51 pm

Oh ya ok I know where its going. A friend of mine owns the Napa store out there not far away

by jgl360 Thu Jun 11, 2020 3:54 pm

Good evening, so so day, mostly cloudy and windy. I might have figured out my window problem, I'll know tomorrow when I do some more digging. Maybe the parts I bought a few years ago, might come in handy. High today was 24.
have a good day and evening and follow the guidelines...we are doing better than our southern neighbors, lets keep it up.

by Ragtacker Fri Jun 12, 2020 6:15 am

Good morning 13 and raining again, it will rain tomorrow it will rain next week Juneuary can leave anytime it likes.
Have a great day

Good day all. Nice weather today, lots of sun and temperatures around 19. Perfect cruising weather. Will be this way all week, with temperatures slowly increasing every day until we are back up in the 30s. Well they did a bunch of tests on my dog and $3k later, I’ still don’t know what’s wrong with her.

by **smoken340** Mon Jun 15, 2020 2:27 pm

Good afternoon. Weather is perfect again today. So I took the old Duster out for a couple of hours. Shut it off at one point and it wouldn’t start again, good thing I carry a spare resistor all the time. Put it on and it started right up. Gotta go to Napa now and pick up a replacement spare. Overall I still enjoyed the drive.

Good afternoon its 18 and the sun just came out crapp what a pile of rain today. Just getting camping gear ready for the first trip of the year, problem problem problem after problem. Just about 3/4 through this 80 foot yacht I have been on for the last month My word this is a big job. Look at the size of the fly bridge. The yacht is massive the salon has a dining area, theres a crews quarters a California Deck aft and I am doing a massive bow cushion that will cover the entire bow. The teak you see here has all been sanded out to new wood and completely recorked. This is a complete refit right down to the gel coat, the owners were on a 3 year waiting list for a new hull but this one came up unexpectedly so it was bought sight unseen and all the meetings were done on line or on the phone, the owners won`t see it until it arrives on the East Coast. Hope they like the way we spent their money Lol.
Have a great rest of the day

by jgl360 Wed Jun 17, 2020 6:25 pm

Wow looks like they have bottomless pockets. Lucky them.

by jgl360 Wed Jun 17, 2020 6:34 pm

Good night, finally got our computer back from the repair shop. Deck was re-vamped and stained. Was out with the Dart sp... and it's pass. side window is all fixed. Weather is warming up as I like it but the wife likes it cool. It got up to 34 region today and a bit warmer tomorrow. Better late in the evening than never.
Later and be good!

by jgl360 Thu Jun 18, 2020 10:41 am

Good day, another beautiful, warm, sunny day. Today should even a little warmer than yesterday. Looks like summer is already here but will it stay is another question. I had 3 cigarette lighter ports that did work in the Dart but I lost power in the main one and now none work so my GPS speedometer does not work. This electrical part is not my strong suit. HELP
Have a beautiful, safe day.

by **smoken340** Thu Jun 18, 2020 11:31 am

Good day all. We are having an amazing run of beautiful weather. Had the Duster out for a run again today. The nice weather has just begun and already I’ve driven the old car, more than I have over the past two years.
JG, start by checking the fuses first. If you were using more than one outlet at a time then you may be Drawing more current than the fuse Can handle.

Reg,

I worked a couple years at WestBay Sonship yachts way back installing the millwork, cabinetry, mirrors, hardware, mirror polished aluminum panels and other things. Also fabricated the seat backs out of PVC sheets for the upholstery guy. The curved ones were a pain, had to make patters
and then heat the pvc sheets up in a make shift oven and then lay them over the patterns until they cooled. worked on an 86' and then a 93' and then a 103' hull came in but then I left. I enjoyed the work a lot. Lets see some pics of the work.

by jgl360 Fri Jun 19, 2020 6:02 am

Good morning, another beautiful sunny, warm day that will go up to 35 or so and then there is the humidity factor which adds to the party to make it feel like 40 ish. Nice cruising weather.
Have a nice one!

by Ragtacker Fri Jun 19, 2020 6:15 am

Good morning its 12 outside and should be sunny for some of the day but wind and rain are Moving in For Saturday.

Have a great day

Good afternoon all. Another beautiful day here today. But is really starting to get humid.
Well since I have been off work since this covid has taken over our lives, I have decided to officially retire . I got used to being home, so I told my boss that I would not be returning. Just hope that I don’t regret my decision.
