Uncommon bond

In old cowboy movies, they'd sometimes make two dudes slit their palms and hold (err, clasp?) hands. Blood brothers.

So I slathered some epoxy on another builder's boat today, and it felt sorta like that.
I said sorta.

Anyway, it was fun meeting Brandt and reviewing his mast with him and Ben- I'm sure it will cause him to redouble his efforts to get his boat going. He had the longer drive home so he left sooner, and I got to stay and help Ben do another coat of bog on his low spots. He thinks I put it on a bit thick, requiring extra sanding, as if it is part of a plot to slow his progress down to about the level of, say, mine. Wha, me? No, never.....

Couldn't possibly also be the reason we convinced to Ben to go "just one more round" of bog-and-sand, before glassing? And build a longer sanding board, with the handles closer to the ends, and, and, and? Only helpful things, nothing to do with delay! heheheheh.

Alright, 14 hours of driving today, and a bit of coffee and roadside crap food to make it happen- normal programming will resume sometime later. G'night.
