I finally installed all of the aft deck mahogany pieces I've been writing about for a couple of months. That's basically a wrap on the complex wood work out there. It turned out really nice...lots better than what we started with!

I've got sliding helm station exterior doors (mostly)!
I still need to figure out the lower door guides, prime and paint the exterior, then install the glass, but the door plan is coming together nicely.

So beautiful. What a talent
Seems quiet in your neck of the woods, Quentin. How are things going?
I was wondering the same. I love seeing his work. So talented.Quote:

Happy New Year!
Sorry for going missing, guys (and thanks for pinging me, Jim). It's been a while since I had time to mess around online. My discrimination and wrongful termination suit against my former employer is moving forward, and I've been buried with thousand page affidavits, responses to affidavits, Merit System Protection Board and federal court filings. You'd think that since it's a federal crime to lie in federal affidavits, my former supervisors would stick to the truth, the whole truth, etc. etc. But if you thought that, you'd be wrong. So in reviewing and responding to their affidavits, I end up spending lots of time digging through many hundreds of emails and other records looking for the proof that shows they're a bunch of liars. As they say, 'the process is the real punishment', but I've had good luck finding the proof I needed. We have a strong case going forward.
I also had to do a valve job on the port Ford 427 in my Chris Craft Commander, the one we used to live aboard, in preparation for selling it this year. While I was in the ER, I also got the genset running for the first time in many decades.
Anyway, I posted an article about the aft deck canvas that I had made. It turned out real nice and is a major step toward getting the boat weather proof so we can splash later this year.
Cheers,

Rooting for you on all fronts!
Quentin, how are you doing down there?
Indeed. Hopefully all is well and progress on all fronts is being made.
