Some of the fittings leaked air so I painted them with resin on the back. I also pushed the brush into the channel so hopefully all the leaks are plugged now.
This is how the tube fitting turned out after the night. Some air bubbles but I think I'll be able to just paint some resin in there and if it leaks some more on the back. I'll scrape off some of the excess resin (the stuff without fiberglass in it).
I trimmed along the edge with a sharp knife when the resin still was a bit soft so I didn't have to sand so much of it.

Treat Her Right brought the blues back to the Boston rock scene with a fresh new approach, one which rolled back the too-cool veneer to illuminate the blues-based origins of rock. The power and sheer joy in their sets made clear the reasons why Brian Jones and company sought an avenue for young, white class rebellion at the feet of blues revivalists like Alexis Horner- and later at the actual source: Muddy Waters, Little Walter, Robert Johnson, Lightning Hopkins. THR obtained a weekly residency in Cambridge's Plough and Stars, the tiny Irish pub on Mass Ave. The series of shows that they played at the Plough established the band almost immediately as the premier drinking and dancing outfit in the city. David Champagne remembers those shows, as early as they were in the band's history, as their creative high point." We took chances at those shows that we - that I - wouldn't later on, once we were established. Indeed the band would always excel in small club situations. They were just perfectly suited to sweaty, smoky rooms that were packed with bodies crammed against one another. Some of my favorite THR shows aside from the Plough gigs were a Providence R.I. performance that I attended at a sometimes strip club to shoot super-8 footage of the band, and a NYC show at a miniscule dive that featured the Maneaters as the opener. The Maneaters were an all-female blues-rock act I'd worked with at the Fort when their producer, Peter Halsapple of the DB's (later a key touring presence with REM, and Hootie and the Blowfish) brought them to Boston; they were a good match for THR. After that Manhattan road trip I got a bit closer to Mark Sandman. We got together whenever we could to go candlepin bowling at the alleys underneath the Middle East Restaurant. I liked Mark tremendously right from the start. His philosophy of songwriting was wonderful- less is more would be an understatement to describe it. Mark told me once that the best songs had only one verse and, if necessary, a single chorus. Mark is the kind of guy who always had something to play for you when you came by his house- some wild kind of Brazilian American music or an obscure delta blues tune, or a tape of a song written for one of his many ongoing projects. I remember going by there one day and realizing he was playing in five different bands, all of which with the exception of Treat Her Right he had started himself. It was hard to keep up...Sandman, Candy Bar, Morphine, plus side projects slipped between the regular bands. I thought of Mark as an extremely shrewd musical investor who had diversified his holdings to minimize the risks and maximize the potential for hitting the jackpot. As it turned out it was Morphine that Mark Sandman would take to the bank when THR became insolvent, and Morphine within which he would develop his songwriting formula to its' logical, hypnotic end. The Morphine article isn't too long, but there are a large number of Morphine pages on the web, both official and unofficial, so I know you won't starve for lack of data. There is also a page on this site dealing with harp player Jim Fittin's new band, the Coots. Very different stuff, a combination of blues, country swing and New Orleans-style funk and rock. Just take this link to the Coots page to check them out. As for Dave Champagne, he started a very cool band after THR called the Jazz Popes. I think Dave wrote some of his best material for that band. Although David's post-THR refinement of his songwriting style didn't meet with the immediate commercial success of Mark's Morphine catalogue, I felt the material was just as interesting and unique as the latter's... but with a few more lyrics thrown in. Dave and his wife Katie played the ocassional show together when they could get a good babysitter under the name the Heygoods. Their performances at Billy Ruane's Valentine's Day '98 show at Green St, Grill and at Skeggie's Spring '98 Plough and Stars gig were thouroughly enjoyable, and shows at the Toad in summer '98, and in September at Green Street Grille revealed an act that just kept getting better. Here's a few pictures, and the Heygoods article has a lot more. You can also find a link there to the new Heygoods

One of many brass fittings found aboard the US aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis docked at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, Oahu overlooking the USS Arizona Memorial and the Mighty Mo. What a magnificient Navy ship She is!! This is not an HDR. I had a fun afternoon aboard the ship.
Any guesses? (if you know because I told you, please don't ruin it for other folks)
First time I've machined 6/4 with zero troubles. Everything went exactly to plan. 12 operations each.
Crossing the Hofsjökull glacier to reach the headwaters of Iceland's longest river.
Adventurer Alastair Humphreys and photographer Chris Herwig made an unsupported crossing of Iceland. They carried all of their food, camping gear, and equipment for both glacier crossing and packrafting in 40kg packs.
Hiking inland from the coast to the bleak interior highlands, Alastair and Chris crossed a glacier to reach the headwaters of Iceland's longest river. There they inflated packrafts and began paddling their way down to the opposite coast.

Today all the news has been about yesterdays flooding, the front of The Sun has great picture of Aberdeen being flooded. I seen this when I was getting my roll n sausage and coffee this morning. As I walked back from the shop I sat down at a bench beside this monument, the sun was out and the sky was blue so different from yesterday but hey that's Scotland! I read this inscription and thought about how fitting this tribute was to a man who lost his life trying to save a child still remembered 136 years after his act of heroism. I was also reminded of the community spirit of the times some by the fact that the monument was erected by public subscription. To the right of the photo is a car crossing the bridge over the luggie where he died. Here is a link to more information about the events of that fateful day www.electricscotland.com/history/kirkintilloch/chapter23.htm
‘Shoe-fitting fluoroscopes, also sold under the names X-ray Shoe Fitter, Pedoscope and Foot-o-scope, were X-ray fluoroscope machines installed in shoe stores from the 1920s until about the 1970s’ (sourced from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoe-fitting_fluoroscope). This one is from a Berea shoe store that Jim Jaworski frequented as a child; perhaps that's why he has such a glowing walk today. Lower slot is for adults. Upper slot and step are for children. Two viewing tubes, at top, allowed a parent and the sales clerk to check the X-ray shoe fit in real-time. The X-ray tube was destroyed upon donation to the Mahler Museum and the Berea Historical Society • 2010 • Berea (Cleveland), Ohio

Gold belt fittings
These ornaments were originally attached to a belt. This style of belt with multiple pendants along the front was of central Asian origin and became fashionable both in Sasanian and Byzantine Empires in about the 6th century. Other versions continued to be popular after the islamic conquest.

First holes drilled. Can't say I wasn't worried when I put the drill agains the deck that I'd just spent so many hours building.
As you can see I've already drawn on the deck where the hatches will be.

the 2x4 keeps the topside sheer at the prescribed width. A lower 2 x4 spends the topsides to establish tumblehome. The transom was fitted against the topsides and hull bottom, marked with a pencil from the hull interior, removed and cut to size with a saber saw. After tweaking the transom cut edges with a hand plane, It fit very nicely. Nothing to it.
I used the deck and roof template (depicts the 6" arc over an 8' chord) to cut out a thin piece of plywood. This flexible plywood was held against the installed transom to mark the top edge for cutting. Since the transom is not plumb, I suppose one could argue my approach makes the transom's top edge curvature a wee bit off from the curvature of the pilot house roof. But with a big chunk of the transom's top edge cut out for the outboard who will notice. It makes my brain hurt to ponder ways to compensate for transom rake when marking the top edge's curvature.
Should we really always try to fit in with the crowd.
Because look what happens when we do that, it becomes impossible to tell us apart from the rest.

Are fitting jeans good for your health?
Wearing fitting jeans is the primary reason for poor blood circulation in the lower body, eventually leading to blood clotting. While being constricted inside the tight pants, the nerves are subject to constant pressure that eventually results in pain around the groin area and thighs.
