Update...tug boat....Family visitation....I love it

I got me a early start of a new day. Only by a hour though. Ya see, I had to go bad....gonna wet the bed if'n I don't get up right now. Brew me up a pot, switch on the computer an' here I are....do'n nuttin.

Now let me tell ya....I had me some company yesterday. Robert showed up before I start mess'n with the tug boat an' we drink coffee, eat donuts an' talk up a storm. There's a knock on the door. My son Ronny has appeared for a visit. A while later, here come "yo mama" an' HIL Harry. Then....here come grandson Nick for a visit. Man boy howdy, where everbody gonna sit?

While I got all this company an' the conversations slow down to a crawl, we break out some tools an' move the passenger seat forward to make extra room for the tug boat. Saw dust an' spider webs is sweeped up, tools put away, it's time for a little more visitation.....coffee, donuts an' a 5 gallon bucket full of BS. Dang, yesterday was a good day at the old Billy Bob's house. Photos?? Well hell no, I done got so involved I plumb forget.

That red paint I was gonna spray on the tug boat yesterday. Well forget that....didn't happen. But....after all the company went their own way, I piddled around with the lower cabin. Sand that sucker smooth as a baby's butt an' I spray some red paint on it. Perfect color for a tug boat.
As you can see, I made a good choice of red paint. Bottom yet to be painted the same color red. And that pilot house....it gonna be red too. Once that is done, I can begin with the task of install'n "details". Winders, doors, winches, hand rails....all kinds of little tiny stuff. Stacks, masts, rigging....my god, it gonna take a year to do all that. I love hobbies.

Ok, I got me a back pain this morn'n. It weren't there till after I had me one them cough'n fits. It also ain't in the same place it usually is. Of course, the old hip is do'n it's thing as usual. But, it's all bearable.

Now, speak'n of swak'n golf balls. Robert will be here Tuesday morn'n wear'n his golf'n clothes an' a golf bag slung over his shoulder. If not Tuesday, Wednesday. Dang, I can hardly wait.

My Walmart shop'n list keeps get'n bigger. The page is slap full. I need to go to Walmart. Close to out of my meds too....2 more days an' they all gone......poooof, just like that.

  7. Good lookin' boat, Billy Bob, and glad you're ready (or we hope) for some golf ball swackin'. Hubby has to have an MRI on his shoulder, may be his rotator cuff, but he's gonna try to swack some today! If that cuff weren't broke before, it may be by this afternoon...
