I've got them all turned, all holes drilled, sealed and now I'm waiting....

I wonder if I can speed up the drying process by throwing them in the microwave?

I decided on making dannies (small ones) and "trying" surfsters.

My goal in life is to be the kind of man my dog thinks I am.

Motorfish is alive! I was wondering how you were making out. I just sealed my last batch a night ago as well. Not sure about the microwave thing. I have mine in the heated house, hoping they will be dry midweek. Then no sleep for a few days...

I ended up making small "howdys" as well as a small "danny". Both come in at around 1.5oz. I've been wanting to turn some stuff for early spring. It took me awhile to get the danny swimming right. Partially because I couldn't find any unfrozen water.

I have to leave on a business trip Jan 31st and return the 3rd. My thought were to get the packages out on Sat 4th if I had all the plugs. You guys think you can have the plugs to me by Sat? If thats pushing anyone, we can bump it a little. I was just hoping to have the packages out before the 11th. That way you'll see your plugs at your house and not at the plugfest.

I am alive!!

Was having some minor computer problems with the new PC. But I'm back. No worries.

Wired up a surfster tonight and did the tub test. Swam nicely with the Surfster 2 lip, but I'm wondering if the action would be better with a smaller lip (which I don't have). Soooo . . . I ordered some surfster 1.5 lips from NJT tonight. Hopefully, they'll get here soon. Won't hold me up too much because I can get the dannies done while I wait.

My goal in life is to be the kind of man my dog thinks I am.
