What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I'm probably going to pick up a solar panel for it. We've been looking into whole house solar backup since I figure solar may work pretty well in Arizona at least a little bit of time.
you might have to cut down a lot of those trees that are making shade too!
 
Good morning Luis! I love that... uhmm... it looks like he has a weiner too. Did you do that on purpose? My eyes were instantly drawn to that, I blame Kevin though. He has corrupted me.

Good morning Rock, you could always take a scenic cruise and help this old guy out. I have a clean sheet and some extra plastic ivy for your head. This could be us.

Looks just like you guys.
 
Oh my! I have SO many comments for that...
I stand by my V as well, she's 5'5", green eyes and red headed. 🤣
I immediately went there too! You gotta stand by it or someone else will
 
Yeah. Hopefully. I scheduled an appointment for after Sheep Camp so the 10th of November.
I want to start a band and name it "Sheep Camp" lol
 
long morning but got 2 sections done. seams sealed and fiberglassed.
probably going to have to stop for the season soon. getting too cold for epoxy to cure.
Was hoping to at least fiberglass interior and exterior but I might not make it to the exterior hull. Maybe we'll have a mini winter summer.

Dude that's incredible
 
Um, we are not allowed to use the “I “ word anymore more, just ask the Gaurdians. It is now referred to as indigenous people summer. I hope Rev doesn’t see your post, I know there was no ill intent, I just don’t want you to go the way of Amanda.
What are we supposed to call people from India?
 
I guess you could technically call it a Guardians Summer, if you don't mind throwing up a little in your mouth. Boy do I dislike that stupid name, makes me want to disown my birthplace.
Gaurdiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark lol
 
Looks like whether I planned on it or not, I have more tank work to do today. Look at what just showed up at my door. It's the Bluetti Elite 100 V2 I won on R2R a few weeks ago. Kind of exited to hook it to the tank.
