My first task was to pull out the paddle boat and see what shape it was in. Except for some mold growing on it it survived its years of storage remarkably well. Cole man made a durable little boat. The plastic is substantial and all the metal parts do not rust. My major task was to wash off as much of the mold as I could. I cleaned it, assembled it and inflated it.
My next job was to redo the repair I made on my kayak. I got a different and better epoxy from West Marine for this. I glued a protective piece of metal onto the back of the kayak to protect it from damage from dragging. I still have to clean up the boats. The wedding has provided a good opportunity to get everything in “ship shape”.
Around lunch time Slash showed up looking for handouts so I fed him some of the leftover chicken nuggets we had.
It was another beautiful sunny day and a great day for Eglin’s air show. While I was out in the yard this morning one of the Thunderbirds flew over at very high altitude. The pilot evidently was checking out his aircraft by flipping the plane sideways, back to level and then the other side. The base is close enough for me to see the planes when they are at their peak altitudes during their shows.
