Good Evening Gang! Petra has discovered the joys of the Internet, so I now have to share the time at the PC with her. She has joined a forum with a real chatty bunch of folks ... I spent the morning doing my favorite task - searching the web for job openings, sending out applications. There is a little bit of hope, a prayer and a big [sigh] attached to those emails. I even found some time to start the assembly of my "Bluenose". The last time I was into model shipbuilding was about 40 years ago, when I built a model of the USS Constitution, a plastic kit by Revell. The parts did not fit very well, so it was a big hassle to get it together properly. The Bluenose is a wood kit, which is much more forgiving. All you need is a good sanding block, fine grit sand paper, and some wood putty. I am nearly finished with the hull, which comes as a block of CNC machined hardwood. I had to add the planks, which was quite a job of bending, shaping and gluing. Tat´s the easy part of it - wait till I have to start on the rigging! Still no positive news from the labor administration. I received a bunch of letters from my lawyer, just for info. Things start to run tight now. The car is out of gas, which runs at $ 8.64 a gallon right now. The telephone & Internet bill is going to be due next week, actually not a big amount, but any amount hurts when you don´t have it. At least we are stocked up on food. Got to be going - supper time is coming up! Have a good one and a prayer for the MIA`s.
