Not much to report today. Yesterday's weather forecast made it sound like I'd have a couple of days to do the boot stripe, but this morning's predicted possible rain this afternoon, so I humped on paint prep and application today. Len and Karlee came by and helped out, so we pretty much got it done. I even peeled the masking tape off the port side, but if weather allows I'd like to get one more coat on the starboard.

I still have to drill out and fill the bolt holes for the port forward engine mount, but I think I'll wait until the cabin warms up a bit, so that'll be later this evening. I'd also like to get a shower tonight. If you were anywhere near me, you'd like that, too.

So, hooray for the red! Out of three votes (very poor showing, people) I got one and a second for red, then one late comer for blue. The suggested purple was TOO far beyond the fringe for me. Sorry April.
