Paul,
I feel your pain. Amazon does pretty good when we are on the road.

Delivered on 21 Feb
It gets worse and worse. Two of four grand kids' Christmas cards and gifts never showed up at their homes. One came back to us after about 45 days, the other is nowhere to be found. It's like they have hired ten thousand Newman clones.

4-day work stoppage to ski with the grandkids! PRICELESS!!!
Grandkids returned home
.
Colorado heatwave is upon us
!
We may have to switch to biking, as the snow is rapidly disappearing!
Bright side is more time to work on Salamandre

Never too early to strap some boards on them and push them down a mountain! So jealy!
8-days of snow melt. Temps in the 60's. No new snow, so we switched to biking/hiking the beautiful mountains around Breckenridge and playing pickleball.
Two pics show some small progress on the stern structure (dry fit only):
Playing in the Mountains instead of working in the shipyard.
1. Red arrow shows shipyard location for the month of March (Tiger Run RV Park, Breckenridge)
2. 6-mile hike (there was 2 feet of snow here a week ago)!
3. 30-mile bike ride (1,260ft elevation gain to 9860ft):
Off to give the pickleball courts a workout!!

Shipyard relocated from Breckenridge to the Loveland basement.
PO Brutis blackened the mortars. At 200lbs, he is getting a workout test fitting them!
Mortars and rack will be set aside until the hull cutouts are made, so the rack doesn't get in the way of the saw blade.
Next. Aligning and glueing the stern structure.
