Retrospective - Project ~12% Complete

The first challenge that I have is that it is football season. I don't expect to make a great deal of progress until after Thanksgiving. Below is a quick summary of my prior activities. I will fill some details later on. Browsing through my albums will give you a pretty good feeling for where I am.

• 08/16: Found the boat in the Charlotte Craigslist and settled on a price with Tony that same day.
• 08/18: Patti and I left the house at ~5am and drove to Charlotte. We met Tony at the storage lot and paid for the boat. It was a bit rough but pretty much what I expected.
• 08/18: We stayed with Jim and Jean. Jim and I adjusted the boat on the trailer, did a bit of hull buffing, and pulled off the registration decals.
• 08/18: Abby was the first passenger on the Grady. We took her out to dinner to celebrate.
• 08/19: Fixed a minor trailer light issue and brought the bought back to Richmond in a driving rain storm. We got pulled over on the way home.
• 08/20: Put the boat into storage. Created an add for the motor on Craigslist and sold it to Doug in about 10 minutes! I had about 9 responses in 30 minutes.
• 08/24: Doug came to get the motor. He pulled it off with his portable lift.
• 08/25: Took the boat to the house and started pulling the fuel tank. I also did some buffing and washed down the boat. I drained about 15gals of fuel from the tank but there may be another 10 gals in there.
• 08/26: Listed the fuel on Craigslist under free stuff. It took a few days to get rid of it.
• 08/27: Listed my biscuit joiner on Craigslist. I am going to use the $$ for a straight handle buffer.
• 08/29: The guy came to pick up my joiner and the other guy came to get the gas.
• 08/30: Patti added some of the 2-cycle gas in the mower...it died.
• 08/31: Drained the tank of the mower and cleaned the carb. There was a good cup of water in the fuel that I drained from the mower. Emailed the guy who took my fuel and gave him a heads-up.
• 09/01: First JMU / App football games. No work today. I will be sitting in Bridgeforth.
