New engine is in and running. While engine was being rebuilt (sent to Ohio) I replaced everything in the engine compartment so all would be new at the same time. Also, I decided to complete a lot of my want list. Added; additional halyard forward, topping lift thru mast to cockpit, double exit blocks to mast base, new lines for all 4 halyards. four rope clutches to cabin top, new mast head sheaves, new compass in cockpit, new anchor chain and rode with a spare set and all new cushions. During all this we took a two month RV trip to escape some of the Texas heat. Today the boat was to go to the lake and I pulled a leg muscle last night and can hardly walk this morning (S**t) New tachometer arrived and is broke in the box. Got to get a lot of sailing from this boat to recover the cost.

Life is not a dress rehearsal. You will not get another chance.

Sorry to hear about your leg. Hope it heals quickly!

New cushions look great!

If you can wait about a month I'll be up in Denton for a wedding. I could come over and help you get it launched.

I will probably have it wet before then, but would be glad to have you go sailing if you get the time. Will keep the boat at Arlington Yacht Club boat yard rigged on trailer. My plan is to take it to several other lakes for several days at a time.

I'd love to go out with you. I'll let you know if I get a chance to break free.
