April 2013 Picture Thread

Thought we should start the picture threads back up.

Took some pics of the Pirata today.


Finally bolted the tower together so I could take it to the canvas shop tomorrow and have the cover modified so it will fit with the tower. I think it looks pretty good. It is a MT2 monster tower. Can't wait to break it in.

then the wife and I, and the chihuahua, enjoyed a few minutes relaxing in her, while sitting in the driveway. Got a little chilly.

My daughter wrecked her horse and a big competition Friday afternoon. She wound up with twelve stiches.

They had to cut off her bloody boot.

Nice looking boat. What is up with that trailer?
What is all that white stuff on the ground did someone have a huge pillow fight?

Snowing here too. Already 4 inches on the way to 10. Was 65 degrees yesterday. Will get down to 4 Wednesday with a high of 18. Yuck

I don't see any pics even close to looking like the Atlanta area not do they have any pics of the Rider... I award you zero points for your effort.

10" or so now. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/04/16/ugyju8yz.jpg

Michael,
Been spending my time on the boat. The trailer is solid just needs blasted and painted. I don't really have a way to get the boat off the trailer for a few days while I get it done. I might check with the marina at the lake we go to and see if they can help me out. Would like it to look as good as the boat.

Had a nice day out Saturday.
Stayed at my bros houSe sat night not realizing massive storm was coming. Woke up At 5:15 to storm. Got dressed and drove to my storage 25 min away. Ugh. Soaking wet and locked in a building all week.

I ran under a gas station real quick to pull rear drain plug. Thankfully floor drain was out as I turned off batteries sat aft.
I know it's a boat and meant to be wet but all the carpet etc just dries so slow.

Here, here!

Here's a picture from today. Laura and I ran up to the lake house to check on it for my in laws. All those items are at a place on shore that is well above the normal high level for the season by at least a few feet.

My April photo is the barn I'm putting up. It'll be the home for my boat, tractor, and equipment trailer.

Yeah, streets were flooded and some were impassable even a few days ago. The road leading to and from O' Hare was closed as well. The chain of lakes where my in laws lake house is was flowing over 4200 CFS over the dams. To put that in perspective, that's 4,200 basketballs going over the damn in a second!

This past weekend on Falls Lake, NC. Better pictures to come but all i had was my phone.

I got my boat on a friend's lift this weekend so I can start the trailer rebuild. I ran it only for about 5 mins, but it was great to be on the water again.

Picked up a few new toys for the boat.

Got the surf board and fat slalom ski off ebay. The slalom in the case from a local online auction for $30 couldn't pass it up for that price.

Picked up the Pirata from the Canvass guy today. He did a nice job making the cover go around the tower.

gogger, how do you like the paddle board?

I got out on Sunday and it was gorgeous. I was worried about the battery because I didn't take it out of the boat during the offseason but after a one hour trickle charge she was good to go for the day. If only the weather could be a little more consistent, rain this weekend. Boo.

No paddle board. Just our first big foam surf board. Ready to move up.

Went for a little ride today... first time taking this boat out. She ran great! Had an inaugural beer on board with my buddy to celebrate.

And here is the completed barn. I still have more grading to do, but once I get the boat back on the trailer, it has a new home.

So, what are you going to store or park in the basement now?

Well right now it's my trailer rebuild project, but after that it's back to being my workshop. My wife's car needs a little attention and I haven't been able to do anything on it over the winter due to the boat being there.

Still far too cold for me to get the boat out of storage... but.... tackled a project yesterday. This is my old beater JS550. At some point in its hard life, it was crashed into something HARD. When I bought it, the front had been rebuilt out of HVAC aluminum, pop-rivets and bondo. It always leaked and has been to the bottom of the river several times because of the bilge pump running out of juice.

I decided it was nice enough on Sunday to work outside and figured I'd spend a few minutes grinding out the old patch panels and pop rivets and lay down some new glass.

Well.... the pop-rivets just kept appearing, so I kept grinding. Pretty soon, not much left.

Then it was time to start building her back up.... This is after 3 layers of fiberglass and 2 healthy applications of long-strand.

http://i635.photobucket.com/albums/u...ps5fa79440.jpg

Tonight I'll use some body filler and finish her up and prep her for paint. This will be the GFs ski at some point so.... it will be pink, of course. ;)

I took her out for her maiden voyage today on lake Lanier in north ga. Man that baby ran like a top!

But unfortunately I had to take her out for pre summer PM.

^^^ Nice supra!

Went up to the lake house this weekend to do some projects before the season starts. Didn't bring the boat with me as I had a lot to do, and the water was only 43* so would have been a bit chilly. I plan to get the boat cleaned up and ready to go in the next couple weeks, fortunately the water back home is around 60*, plenty warm.

Thanks brudda!
It was pretty clean when I got it. But I've been cleaning on her for three days now and getting ready for a full detail tomorrow. I will post progress shots.
