Got a buncha electronics to install, too. I'm letting the dealer install a
through-hull transponder, though. I don't "do" holes in the bottoms of
boats, at least not deliberately.

Pussy. ;-)


Beat me to it. :)


I was trained in metalwork, not plasticwork.


No kidding.

I've got a full wood shop down in the barn, but I havne't used it in
years. I have this habit of slicing/cutting/sticking tools into my
body for some reason - Mrs. Wave finally forbid me from using the
tools without adult supervision. :)

I've never done much metal work although I worked for Heald Machine
Tool for several years after I left the computer biz.

I love to weld though - and, oddly, I'm pretty good at it - TIG, MIG,
Gas, stick - I love it. Don't do a lot of it, but I enjoy it. And
I've never hurt myself welding anything. :)

Never done much glass work. Might want to try it some time over this
winter - there are a few things I'd like to do to the Ranger - custom
this and that. At the shop where I hang out occasionally, they have a
first class glass guy - I just might intern with him over the winter
just to learn.
