netkkopprs everyone. GOOD MORNING!!

A beautiful Day here in the Pacific Northwest. 6 AM and the Sun is

Decided it was time to start repairing the bent and battered ASA! It
was hit hard by Gale Winds but it survived!

Time to be friends again. Let's get this group back to the ASA that was

So! Good Morning; The first day of the rest of our lives! Let's make
them count!!!

Red Cloud, or your dinghy?

What's a needle gun? Something for rust, I presume.

Scotty,
A Snark that actually gets sailed would be a better choice
than any boat that bobspit uses for bragging on the Internet.

The Dink..

Yes an air powered chipping hammer like this one:

Removes all rust! sounds like 12 people banging on iron skillets all at
once.

Joe

Do you wire wheel after using that? Or is that better than a wire
wheel?

It is better than a wire wheel, but I do go over it with a wheel to
make sure I have bright shiny steel, then feather the paint edges with
a 100 grit sanding disk. After than apply Ends all Rust a Dupont rust
converter similar to Ospho or Navel Jelly. After that 3 sprayed on
coats of Primer, waiting till each coat dries. After that 2 thick coats
of Paint. Today I was removing old paint with the neddle gun, in the
area where the deck meets the bulwarks around the stern, it had just
buildt up to thick in areas and needed removing, also spotting out the
bulwarks in prep to paint all the decks and apply new non-skid.

Wasent a planned job but it was soooo nice out today with no humidity
which is rare in Houston I figured Id never get a beeter day to do this
annoying job, This area is one of the hardest to get to due to the aft
stays, the mizzen stay and handrails all pinning you against the stern
cabin. It's one of those jobs you want perfect conditions so you do not
have to do it again for 5-7 years.

I'm finished working ...and your earlier thread convinced me to make a
fresh pot of Folgers.

Soon I will have to head out and put up the air compressor, spray rig,
and tools, clean up the dock, wash the car, and then I have a couple
hours of Work work I have to get done tonight for the AM. And I get to
do a couple of Honey Dew projects....

Joe

How was your morning constitutional?

Well, I awoke to a good 6" of snow on the ground here. We have had two or
three weeks of 70's and 80's, sunshine, getting the boat ready, etc. But
today is an indoors day! Strange weather, probably due to global cooling
due to the work of evil liberals.

Morning to you Scott,

Back from my morning sail. Breeze quit about 10:00 AM ( For picky, picky
Lon;- sorry about the extra 0)

Made a cup of coffee and a cup of soup. Dog didn't get sick! Finally
fired up the metal Genny and powered in.

No complaints. Got out and home in time to check list and get ready for
Sunday Dinner

Ole Thom
