STRIPS

Well, the time has come... we started stripping. Friday night we put our first strips on the strongback, and now with six strips, the boat is beginning to take shape.

almost there!

Wrapping up the last days of work at the Villa. Cant wait to be done there. Soon I will again venture to the great ADKs with some good friends, and return with a clear mind, and new perspective.
This pic really has nothing to do with anything, I just needed one to put on this post and like this one.

PRAISE GOD> NEW JOB

Its been a long time comin', but I finally got a new job. I will be the Youth Director at Faith Lutheran Church in Penfield. I turned in my two weeks yesterday and called to accept the job. I learned a lot while at the Villa, but will not miss it at all. I am excited about the potential that this job offers and look forward especially to more time with the wife. (-: God Is Good!!!

MORE CANOE

Well, more progress has been made on the canoe...









We are about 95% done with the Strongback...



Very exciting...

Canoe

More work has been done on the canoe. This is me next to the strongback, or the frame work, along with one of the forms. We have to now put the forms on each rung of the strongback ladder, and we will have the framework upon which to build the boat. Gettin real exciting.

Back from the Dak

Some pics from our wonderful ADK adventure:





Hiking Giant Mt. (my 7th High Peak) was no less than a feat of strentgh, as I was still recovering from being sick, and had absolutely no energy, but with motivation from my wonderful wife, we made it.

Daks Baby

In just a few short hours, we will be leaving to go to a wonderful place, called the Adirondacks, that contains views such as these. Who wouldnt want to be here?
