I know the weather is bad for most of you and I know how much "cabin
fever" can make me "on edge" too. So, all you flamers, GO OUTSIDE,
even if it is ice fishing. Go skiing or snowshoeing, but get outside
for a couple of hours. Then come back and we'll talk boats.

I've been working on my old Morgan 24. Got all the old rotted teak off
and
have sanded about 30% in preparation for painting. Bought a gallon of
epoxy
primer (man has that crap gotten expensive!) to go along with the 3 quart
kits of Interlux Interthane plus I had on the shelf. Gelcoat is very bad
shape and that's why I went with the epoxy primer.
Got a couple new Beckson opening ports for the v-berth and will install
after the paint dries.
Decks and house will be Hatteras Off White and the hull a dark green
(have
picked out a paint yet for this, probably go with Brightside).
Replacing the old teak with "Azek" fake lumber. About one 20th the cost
of
teak, easy to work with and no sanding and varnishing later. I've made
the
new hand rails and the look pretty good.
All outside stuff and you're right, being stuck inside makes people mean
as
snakes.

That's one reason I've been cutting firewood. running a chainsaw, weed-
eater or push lawnmower is good therapy for me. Beats knocking
somebody up the side of the head...

Yeah but... there are half a dozen or so posters here who really need your
head knocking services.
It would be for their own good so it could qualify as a charitable service.
