As you can see in the Pic above, we are making progress. Our new canvas maker (Donna) is making significant progress to correcting the screwed up effort by our original canvas guy. The Pic above has the front three panels in place, and are finished. Not in the Pic are two of the three rear panels that are finished. Sooooo.... 5 of 8, that makes 62% completed. Today Donna, will make the patterns for the sides, and the final rear panel, create the blue frames, and install the vinyl. Donna is doing an awesome job finishing up a botched effort, by someone else, on our enclosure.
Departure date........ ah, setting a date has not worked in the past so, stay tuned.
We received a question as to: How is this extended delay affecting our schedule?. The answer is: we have eliminated several 'play' locations heading down the east shore of Lake Michigan. We still to plan be in Chicago around Labor Day (our original plan).
Note to Capt. & Crew, throw out the word "schedule" for ever !!!! It just keeps tormenting you time after time, go with the "guidline" theory, it should help release that "knot" in your gut :)
ReplyDeleteDon't skip any place, take your time, this is the boating paradise you will soon miss when in the "river", enjoy it, what is a few more days.
Oh, I like Captain Dean's comment. Take it easy. Remember you are retired.
ReplyDeleteThe canvas looks great.
I have to agree. No schedule. Don't discard your old itinerary - instead augment it by adding to it on your trip. I call these diversions when I travel. With no timetable you do not have to have a date certain to return to Michigan. So what if it takes 6 months longer.
ReplyDeleteOkay, Okay...... Got it...... We are still in work mode. Our 'guideline' will slack off now that all systems are go. Thanks guys.
ReplyDeleteMark, just think of what you were doing a year ago - class prep, fighting with IT and thinking about today. Life sure is good.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rob for the perspective. I now know what it really means when retired people say 'you will like retirement'. To those that DELAY their retirement and say 'I enjoy my job' BS!
