Painting




So Mike has begun painting his boat. It looks BEAUTIFUL! It has been named"Bluebird", and is getting closer to getting splashed! Pressure is on because our other boat is INOPERABLE! Long story, but the welding (poor welding) is cracking at the welds and the boat is unsafe to take on the water. Mike gets to try to deal with getting compensated for that today. Big fun. We have still managed to have as much salmon and halibut as we need so that isn't too bad :) Already have smoked a couple smoker loads and have been enjoying that. I've been doing the farmers market and that's been okay. Slow start and chillyyyyyyyy and rainy for the past four saturdays. Everyone around here just keeps waiting for "summer" to arrive. We have been managing to go for nice bike rides and walks in between rain squalls though! Looking forward to my parents visit Aug 8. Kelly will overlap with them for their last two days and visit for a week or so too. Our friend Julie who used to live here is also coming in a few weeks! So again.. PRESSURE for boat being ready :) Well hope everyone is well! love you guys
