Did some work on my boat yesterday. Made two BIG cleats to store two
hanks of 100' each anchor rope. Boy, does that stuff birdnest no matter
what you do. Cleaned up some wiring. Made a cradle for the troll motor,
as well as a new hardwood place on the gunnel to attach it. Dried up
some stuff I didn't even know got wet, like the inside of one tackle box.
(Glad I caught it before it fermented for a good while.) Using this time
to get some fixups done. Going to the boat store this afternoon with my
gift certificate for $50, plus another for $10 if I spend the fifty.

Been sunny here, in the low 50's today. Plan to start fishing soon.
Going to make a cover out of two of those brown tarps from HD, as I have
an upholstery sewing machine.

Enjoyable just putzing around. The eagle is back to the cottonwood less
than 100 yards from my shop, and he keeps an eye on things. He's not as
fidgety now, and doesn't fly off so quickly now. Must have been an
inspector in another life.

If going to West Marine, tell them you just bought a boat. They give you
10% off.

How far west are they? I'm in Utah.
