Im here, been working alot lately and now trying to sell my house and get the hell out of here. Boat is now home in the back yard and going to start painting and airbrushing it soon. Been working alot on the race car lately as well. Laz Mesa built me one MOTHER of a 7.7 liter pontiac engine which is now all airbrushed (yes I airbrushed the engine block and heads) and everything else I could get my hands on, and im just enjoying things lately. Ditched the storage unit and brought the apache home so I can start painting it so that will be this summers fun project. Cabin is all back togher and im going to send out the blowers to get repolished from BDS and see about stripping the valve covers in the glass beading cabinet I have and airbrushing them and the flame arrestors and give them a face lift as well as try to chrome other things and paint other things. I just want to make this thing mine and have fun with it. Still no insurance so she is not going anywhere, might have to move back north to get 1000-2000 year insurance but down here its just not going to happen between 9 and 14 K a year is just not happening in anyway shape or form, If I had the $ for that which I dont I would never pay it for the crappy insurance they offer anyway so no deal.
Hope everyone is doing well and having a great season out on the water and remember, Gas is MEANT TO BE BURNT so dont go crying about gas, just suck it up and burn it and smile.

I filled mine up before she went into hibernation so im sitting on a TON of fuel LOL. Both tanks are completley topped off. Ill probably start pumping it out into the vette and the lawn mowers now that its sitting in the back yard so I can get rid of that old gas out of there.
Will suck come fill up time but after I fire it up at the docks, that pain in the wallet will immediately go away so its of no concern.
Im more interested in how much paints are going to cost me to airbrush this mother! I for the first time got a real good look at the boat from the side (in my storage unit I was boxed in by motor homes on both sides) and I just stood back and looked at this thing and was just like Shiz nizzle my lord this thing is friggin HUGE. Funny when its in the water it looks smaller, MUCH smaller, but on the trailer it just dwarfs just about everything. Then again tongue of trailer to the props is about 50 feet so that adds to the overall HUGENESS if thats even a word
Its cool though
Hopefully the race car will be done and I can put all my efforts into face lift surgery for this thing.
