Saturday was the official day for the boat show..Lew inside and I running interference outside. "interference' as in 'answering as many questions as I could outside so that, as best posible I reduced the quantity of folks wanting to get inside' and..it worked. The only ones WE invited aboard were the good-looking females but sadly, there were too few of those.
By the way, I can now recite (mantra-like) the five most frequently-asked questions: 1. How many coats of varnish? answer: No clue -lost track after the first half-dozen. 2. Where is she kept? I know the answer, but wont say it here! 3. What varnish do you use? answer: Epiphanes. 4. What engines? answer: Nordburg Tarpons, 336 cu.in, 130 hp flathead sixes. 5. How many people does she sleep? answer: highly dependent on how close the people wanna be.
After another bottle of Barrilito between three of us the answers started changing a bit like....to the 'what varnish is this?' question the answers were something like..'dunno, he gets it at Home Depot or some other el cheapo place'
I had a ball and I'll do it again in a minute but...the next time it's Lew's (and his family's turn) to come to PR.
Got home today after a loooong red-eye, my lovely wife & daughter were waiting for me..had a nice lunch, washed the 540..I am content and life is good. Bless u Lew & Lindy!
