I am under the gun, so to speak. I have set the launch date for next Thursday. July 3rd. I have a lot to get done but I work well under pressure.
                                        The drive shaft needs the cutlass bearing and flange installed

                                              Partway there. Bolts will be epoxied in tomorrow.

Ended up out a half inch further than I planned. Everything fit well in the trial fitting. But once I got everything set up and putt the epoxy on it....suddenly it hit a stop most of the way in. It is fine. This is much stronger than the small piece of fiberglass pipe that was sticking out for the set screws to go into. I also have a little bit more I will do to stiffen it up a might.

      The gray non-skid is no more!!! Hurray!!! It looked like this when I started.

Without a lot of searching, this is the best I can find.

It just does not look like such a dark color does it? Proof that all things do not necessarily make sense. Now it is white.

The difference in heat is so astounding. You would have to feel it to believe it. I told you why I went with the gray to begin with. I was told the white would have so much glare I would not like it. Sunglasses are dirt cheap. But when the boat is superheated by the sun beating down on it all day, it is way to hot to sleep in. So being able to sleep...priceless. Good trade!

                                                     I finished the outside footstool.

The next post should see Mary Lee about ready to swim. Unless I get busy and save the next post for after launch. Time will tell.  OH!!!! I almost forgot. I crashed my clown bike in the middle of Myrtle Beach's busiest intersection. While it was busy.

They are building an overpass at a very busy light on the nearby freeway. I have to ride through it to return from the marina. Vivian drops me and clown bike off. I sweat it out until noonish. Then I ride back. I had never considered the locks on the places where the bike folds. The center of frame above pedals and the steering just above the front tire.
 If I had never tried to cross a road quickly between light changes(there is no pedestrian lights, you are on your own) I would not know that the handlebar lock can release under pressure if not tight enough. I have a fair bit of road rash.
My back is certainly hurting now and as a result.....Those locks are tight enough now that it takes considerable effort to undo them. Imagine pushing hard on the pedals. Hard as you can standing up. Then having the handlebars suddenly pull back into your waist. Wheel turns, skid marks are the result. FUN!!!
