We are back to work after a trip to northeast Montana where we had a good visit with our son, Mathew, but didn't see many pheasants.  When we got home, we went in to the freight depot in Missoula to pick up our order of Akumi plywood.  We also had ordered 2 X6 Douglas fir boards 23 feet long from a local saw mill.  These two boards are for the chines.  The operator did a lot of extra work for very little money ($47.50) total.  He had to select the log, make sure it was relatively clear, cut the boards, paint the ends to keep them from splitting, and wrap them in plastic to keep moisture off them.  It was so inexpensive we added a bit for a thank you.  So, now we have the plywood and the boards stored in the lower garage and we are ready for lots of entertainment!
All of the frames and the keel should be in place by the end of the week.  Today we did a bunch of fiberglass adhesive work.  Things seem to move right along when you start working at three A.M., which is not to be recommended.
Oh yes, when we were over in Glasgow, Montana we found a great buy-a used boat trailer in super condition for a good price, and we towed it back here for the new boat.
