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

'Somebody'(in the comments) did not observe the screens are mounted horizontal.

BTW is not your wordpress url no longer accurate?

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!
