I was just telling Ron in a PM that I'm back to 90%+ and chomping at the bits. Won't yak yet because I can't swim yet, but I am statring a new "Honey Bee" Stripper. Got my strongback built and forms in place and about 200 or so strips. No pics yet because I can't find my camera. Had it with me when I had the stroke and we are searching everywhere. Hopefully it's in the rumble storage of the Dune Buggy. Will check that tomorrow.
I get tired quickly but really enjoying the building therapy. Will post soon. Afraid this one may be real slow I am old for sure now at 70.
Glad to be back

Welcome back Don
Re: Glad to be back
Glad you are feeling better. I think you are spot on about boat building being good therapy. Looking forward to your next build.

Re: Glad to be back
Thanks everybody for the kind words. I've been having problems progressing because of knee problems. Went to the vet Friday and he gave me a steroid shot in the knee and I'm pain free. Moving right on I finished cutting all my strips ( if that's possible) and completely reworked my forms. Wednesday is Friday for me and I will start laying the strips in place. I'm waiting for a new camera, the old one evaporated when I had the stroke and unable to find it, so I'll post pictures then.
