Bad news, good news ...

Bad news: While working on the boat in the driveway this evening, it got away from me. I have a slanted drive and usually just park the boat across the driveway so it stays put. Trying to get the boat back in the garage it got away from me and rolled, at an ever increasing speed, down the driveway and SMACK right into the minivan....SHEEE-OOOTTT! It did a fair bit of damage to the right rear panel of the van and totally blew out the right rear light fixture.






Good news: The boat sustained nothing more than a minor scratch....this thing is built like a brick outhouse!! I couldn't believe it when I pried the 2 apart! Any fear I had about how stout glass and ply can be have been aswaged.


I also am nearly done w/ the stern addition:




I also have 4 of six bricks that come in right on weight!! I'll do the last 2 tomorrow morning.



Getting excited (read nervous) about this weekend....here we go!!!!

    So it was't the wife coming home saying,
    "I have good news and bad news".
    "The airbag works".
