[A/S] Progress Update on 64 Trade Wind Refurb



Hi to all on the List,

It's been awhile since I've posted any news or questions, etc about my
progress on the refurb of my vintage Trade Wind.  I apologize.  Progress has
been temporarily suspended.  I had just finished removing the old floor tiles
and and prepped the interior walls for repainting/decorating.  Sadly, a week
ago Friday (Sept 1) I had an unfortunate mishap at work and it has limited my
ability to continue temporarily.

The temp. here has been so hot that it melted the fresh pavement of a parking
lot at a customer I was working at, and the ladder that I was on sunk into
the tar and shifted.  It went one way, and me another.  Both of us (the
ladder and I) went down.....it first and me on top. ha ha ha....  I did learn
that a human cannot land like a feline.

I look forward to resuming my efforts in a couple of weeks.  Perhaps by then
it will be cooler and I can work on the Trade Wind for longer periods.

In the mean time, I will continue to be on the side lines reading and
learning from each of you.

Fair Winds and Following Seas.
