I bet you could get a good deal on that Gryphon, Q. After all, you're nearly done with the Roamer, and will be needing something to do! :D

BuckeyeDennis, you join a long and growing list of other people who've been keeping track of my refit and made that same observation. LOL

Hi JPG. I squared him away on those screens. ;-)

Right, I'm no longer hosted on Wordpress. The popup ads, which only benefited WP, were obnoxious, and there were some other features there that I didn't like. So a few months back I announced I was moving the blog and would be self-hosting. I'm no longer updating the WP blog and will eventually deactivate it, once search engines preferentially find the new blog.

So, how about changing the web site url in yours posts here. ;)

Since changing hosts, I've only linked to the new site.

You don't mean the old posts do you??? LOL

What forum “skin” are you using, Red? On ProSilver, I don’t see Roamer46’s website URL even when I view his profile page. :confused:

I got my Commander 42 splashed after applying three coats of bottom paint and I had a bit of time to burn one afternoon. So I broke out the fine sandpaper and buffing compounds and went to work on one of the stainless stanchion pipes I welded up two+ years ago. It's amazing how nice it looks. Comparing the finished pipe to the mill finish...you wouldn't think they were the same pipe!
