Hey John,

Ready for R2K3?

I don't think I can mix the epoxy fast enough. In order to finish the boat on time. We've been using MAS fast hardener. We mix between 9 and 18 grams at a time and work real fast. It was real tricky during our spell of 100'+ weather. The epoxy would be heating up within a couple of minutes.

During my lunch break today I'll fininsh shaping the cowling and hopefully coat the cowling with epoxy. Then it's time to pack. Once in Oregon I'll assemble the boat, put the skin on and start coating the skin. Still not sure what I'm going to coat the skin with.

I've also got to finish Jim Skyles's boat. I finished his cowling Monday and shipped it Tuesday. Too bad UPS forgot to put his apartment number on the package so he won't be getting it till Monday. UPS, I'm losing faith in you.
So I've got 2 boats to complete next week. Busy, Busy, Busy!

Are you bringing anything along with you on the plane (boat wise)?

Roger
