There is a guy doing that on the forum now. Besides, our practice boat is gone. She just got back from a bimini making course at Hood Marine Canvas and Hood Marine Canvas Training Workshops a couple of weeks ago. Add that to the boat cover course in Ohio last June at https://canvastraining.com/ and she is gaining a lot of knowledge on how to. She has done a great job on the interior of the Beneteau with all the vinyl box cushions, new head/hull liner, sun shades and the new dinghy cover is nearly finished as the parts we were waiting for arrived yesterday. I know she is going back to Hood Canvas in Ma. in December for another course on cockpit enclosures.

Getting prepped for the South Florida retirement! Always need a canvas guy/gal around these parts.

It has been getting colder, but luckily no snow down in the valley.





We needed a part quickly to finish the dinghy cover. Found one at West Marine in So. Burlington.



A couple of shots as I step out their door into the parking lot of...
Mt. Mansfield, Stowe on the other side. Highest peak in Vermont.



And a section of the Bolton Valley Ski Resort.



Killington is open.

My nephew is flying F-16s and tried to get an F-22 seat. There were close to 40 officers in his Air Force flight training and only 1 got an F-22 billet. He loves the F-16 though, 9g turns and flies both air-to-air and air-to-ground missions. Never a dull moment.

Just patiently waiting.

Looking for this guy? He's hiding in the woods behind my house...

A different perspective of the Burlington waterfront. Taken on 10/16, not a drone. The marina and CG station below, center of photo. Skateboard park lower right. We left for haul out, from E dock, the short dock to the South, the day before she took pic.

Our first boat cover completed. Making a cover for an inflatable rubber boat is a little different than a rigid hull, kind of a moving target as the Ideal gas law is at play here. Hence the shock cord and adjustable strap to hook to the back of the motor at the hand grab, that sets the tension of the ridge.









Very happy with the final product. Although we would make a couple of small changes in the design after designing this one. I hated walking by after a rain storm and see the fuel tank floating. It will be nice to use, next year!

A little cruise through the mud and sand today

I was out in our sugarwoods today and this caught my eye sticking out of the leaves. Found this piece of a horse buggy folding bimini frame at the ruins of an old barn foundation dating back to the civil war. The joints are a little seized.





I find stuff out here alot. I need to bring a metal detector out there.

I was lucky enough to play "Target Drone" for a pair of MN ANG F-16's last year on my sled. It was intense - sounded (and was) fun, but there was still a strong desire to be ANYWHERE else as that guy was lining me up in his sights.

We won a frozen turkey at our club this weekend, of course it wasn't my shooting that won it , I did make it to the final four though,

they would throw a single target from the trap house, speed and angle turned way up,
if the first shooter missed the second took a shot and could knock them out, if the second missed then the third shooter got a chance to knock the both of them out,

another game we play was hit the chip, even if the first shooter broke the target the second shooter could go for one of the chips and if he hit them knock the other person out,

It was a fun day

Love playing this game. Used to play a couple times a year when the guys all got together, but we played for beer!!

Yep - We call them Annie Oakley's up here in MN. Usually the final 3 end up back in the parking lot to make it harder than the layups from the 27 yard line.
