Yard Sale

Another morning of getting up early to get a third and final coat on the topsides! And after taking all of the plastic off the toe rails it looks fantastic! Maybe some brush strokes here and there but I really don’t care at this point! As Mike reminds me (ad nauseam) “It doesn’t have to be perfect, it’s not a perfect boat”. We are also in the process of trying to clean up our junk yard. Three months of serious projects as well as a ton of donated “goods” has left the area under and around us chock full of boating stuff. Some useful, some not so much. So Mike painted ‘free stuff’ on a big piece of plywood and announced it on ‘The Net’ this morning. We had a handful of people come and rummage through but a lot of it will ultimately go to the rubbage bin. It feels good to purge ourselves of all of this stuff, and it feels even better to realize that we have all of the big jobs done! But unfortunately today, the small jobs are feeling tedious. At least to me. Mike seems to like just putzing around on one little thing or another. I keep telling myself that we are so close and to “get motivated!” but think I am still just really tired. Tonight was also kinda rough due to realizing that all of my girlfriends were spending the day together celebrating our good friend Heidi’s bachelorette party. It’s times like these that make it hard to be away from home. Mike and I also realized that we got engaged one year ago today! Man, what a year it has been. Makes me wonder where life is going to take us this next year…

Them's some dirty feet!
