Well,my boat is shrink wrapped,six hours away and put to bed for the winter.So,I think after three years of restoration work,I'm going to be taking a break and vegging out for the winter.
I'll spend my time looking through catalogs for a Radar unit,and tackle,and other goodies to add in the spring.

Until then,I'm going to enjoy watching the current restorations that many on this site are doing.I know that I'm sure not going to miss putting on that Tyvek suit,and respirator any more.
I'll live that vicariously through projects many of you are working on.
