Chiroquacker visit......Ho Hum!

Well shoot, here it is the finish of another day. Not the best day in my book.

For 2 nights in a row, I been hav'n these "new" awful pains in my back. Different from the usual pains. Two big ol' aspirins an' a couple three hours sit'n in front this computer, an' I'm in better shape.

Today, at 3pm, I had me a appointment with a chiropractor. Well, before I even fill out the first piece of paperwork, I had to talk to the doc. "What much good can you do for me with arthritis of the spine"? I was surprised by his answer..."I don't know"? He then proceeded to tell me "there's no harm in try'n what he has to offer". I says..."I can do that". I filled out the paperwork. They call my name.....that quick.
I 'splained to him the kinds of pains I was hav'n an' where the pains were at. He start do'n some bending an' twist'n tests for the pain. It weren't too good. Don't bend backards worth a poop an' don't twist worth a poop. Ha, now my back hurts. He did some things with a couple electronic gizmos....don't even ask. Did another bend'n test with seat belts....don't even ask. Electrical stimulation....damn that feel good. A couple other things....don't even ask...an' I can bend a little bit further without much pain. Left his office feel'n a bit better than when arrived. See ya next week doc.

Then me an' Robert climb in the truck....head to Ace Hardware to pick up some Red Mahogany stain. I used no buggy in Ace to help support me...."a walker with 4 wheels". Back in the truck, the back pains are back in full glory. I need me some big ass aspirins an' lay back for a spell.

Build'n a boat. I been tak'n my time, tak'n a day off when I'm in pain, but damn, I need to slow down.

I know, let's install some plank'n on the rear deck

Look'n pretty good Billy Bob....keep up the good work

Oh man, you finished the back deck

Well shoot, may as well put some plank'n on the front deck. Oh my God, let me tell ya....did ya ever try to remove a super glued crookit piece of plank'n? Never gonna make that mistake again. Note: There's a trick to get'n the planking straight as a arrow. Remind me to show ya laters.

This is the fully planked hull. It has bout 50 coats of hand sand'n with 100 grit applied....my God, my arm hurts.
Up to this point, there is 2 or 3 tiny cracks that need filled. How to fill them....don't even ask. I have to do some 'spearmint'n. Hmmmmm....maybe sand'n dust an' carpenters glue???? After stain'n of course. Have to give that a test on scrap mahogany.

Am hav'n a terrible time pick'n out stain colors. My 1949 Chris Craft runabout will be of 2 colors....dark mahogany an' light mahogany. Wish me luck.
Ha, like this......
No....not like that, but close.

  2. You can buy your own gismo for giving those electrical stimulations BB. The trick is to find where to put the probes to do the job.
