She has a heritages disc which resulted in paralysis of her back legs. On meds now but she is hurting and we have made the decision to stop that. I’m in contact with a home euthanasia service now, most of the brick and mortar pet clinics around me don’t allow the pet’s owners to be present / in the room when their pet is ... you know.

this is tmi, but it’s what i saw/found today when emptying the boat out in preparing to maintain, repair and prepare it for the summer, working on the boat is often therapeutic for me.

a new vest purchased for my dog a few months ago. The only water that has touched it so far has been a tear. Didn’t get much done on the boat after i found it.
I am so sorry @Ronnie. I had to make the same call on pets, and my father. Never easy. My wife says I will need counseling and therapy if anything were to happen to my 2 current dogs. Hang in there, bud. Its for the best

I'm sorry to hear that, my wife had a dachshund growing up that had arthrtis that they had to scrape it's vertabrae to give it movement again,

It's tough but you have to do what's best for them, my coworker was able to have them come to his house also, it was as good as it could be,

Prayers for your family to find peace during this hard time

Sorry to hear about your dog Ronnie. We put our Pawley girl down two years ago and I still think about her every day. When I think of heaven its walking in to a room and being greeted by all the loving dogs and cats we have had in our lives.

One of my underwater fish light stopped working. Ran it down to Port Charlotte to have it repaired. Impressive store...

Nice Tesla too!

Went down to the Shipyard yesterday. I put the 3 batteries back in, Its alive! We splash on the 13th, less than 2 weeks away. I put the plug back in the hot water heater, so the water system is ready. Willow measured yardage for the new headliner in the V berth. Next trip out I will install the NavPod/instruments and the folding steering wheel at the helm.

20210502_132839.jpg

I also rekindled the Nav station refit. I did not like how it was set up when we bought her 3 yers ago. And I did not like the 3 different colors of the Faux Mahogany plywood, the Black cherry heartwood and the Black cherry sapwood, I installed and how they clashed. So I am making a new Black Cherry panel to mount all the radios, barometer, AC panel and DC panel etc. It is a pretty piece of Cherry that I cut down 15 years ago, sliced it up on the Woodmizer sawmill and let it air dry in the Barn since. Was saving it for the house, but it will stand out in the interior of the Beneteau. I will install the panel once we are in the water and in our slip. It will take me a while to install the DC panel with it's 20 circuits.
This is what it looks like now.

20210411_143155.jpg

And here is the proposed panel after it's 3rd coat of epoxy. Ready for sanding smooth and the the 3 coats of Epifanes gloss 2-pt. polyurethane.

20210502_165655.jpg

I was glad to see that Bluesea includes the hole cutout data on their website for both our AC and DC power panels.

Running out of woodworking projects on the boat. I am gonna have to tear something else apart.
