Here I was getting up at 5:30 am again - there is something wrong with me. While the kids slept (Michael was awake having a tea) I ran to King Soopers, gassed up the truck, grabbed some milk and hamburger and then ran to McDonald's. Ahh, the breakfast when you don't want to fix anything. The kids got up at the smell of egg mcmuffins and we got going.

We got all the way down to Parker road and realized we had forgotten something. The teak! We had cut it the night before and left it standing by the front door. So we turned around, paid more tolls and got back home. On the way to the boat AGAIN, we stopped by Home Depot and picked up some more brushes, veneer and drill bits. They were having an anniversary party and we joked with the cashier about coming back to the truck with our faces painted. But the kids are used to our little quirks, I don't think it would shock them. Ah well, we will have to work on something to cure that. hehe

Since we had already wasted a good part of the morning we decided to go to West Marine in town. The store is small but had a couple of things we were looking for. We bought more West System Epoxy, penetrating epoxy (forget waiting till Wednesday) and more stainlessscrews - at $0.60 each - ouch! We decided to feed the kids a real meal and popped into a buffet which was poor, too bad.

When we got the the boat Michael laid part of the sole. He put on the final teak veneer on the galled bulkhead - its a perfect match. woohoo. Then he installed mounts for the settee, again another great match.
Paisley worked on scuffing up the varnish in the forward cabin to prepare it for a new coat of varnish and I painted the rear head shelves. Mikey helped too by being a gopher for Dad.

Since the kids and I were whining he put the table up temporarily for us for dinner. During dinner we watched a classic movie - 'Attack of the Killer Tomatoes'. Yup, pure kitsch. Paisley said it was the worst movie she has ever seen, but Mikey loved it!

Michael also got our new berth light installed with an LED bulb inside. It has great light for reading, nice and clear white and cool. The previous light gets so hot it has melted the cover, not good. The light looks great and we are going to replace all the berth lights with these. It was a great day full of successes.
