    Scharnhorst is getting a little bit heavy now that he's almost done.

    Then I have a giant heavy box to deal with. They are in the bunk while I drive then on the dash at night. Going to be installing a cradle for them under the cabinet above the bed.

    The boat shop in Pleasant Hill, Ohio will be open for building both days this weekend in order to help folks get their boats ready for the 4th of July battle.
    I will probably be able to pass through occasionally to help out this weekend. But make yourselves at home.

    Yesterday Nut worked on his Michigan for Treaty. And also his Montana. Also for Treaty.
    Jim was here working on his Montana as well. And John worked on his Yamato. Both for Treaty.
    We got a lot done.
    As for today.
    Matt was here for a while chatting up the boats with us. He had to take off. But it was nice to see him again.
    Nut is here working on his USS Montana. It is coming along nicely. It looks like it will be in combat next weekend.
    Robert is here working on his HMS Rodney. It is also coming along nicely. And will be on the water next weekend as well. At least for sea trials. Possibly in combat.
    Watching Tora Tora Tora. Last movie was the Sea Wolves.
    Man, it's hot outside!

    Just got done with the plumbing on the Montana, just have internal armor and then secure the pump, waterproof the exposed wood and the rx then secure the tubing so ots not just flopping around and she's all done.

    I am heading out to the shop for the rest of the day for some building and war movies.
    The shop will be open all day tomorrow as well.
    I am still planning to host some building next weekend as well. Probably Saturday.

    Robert was able to drop in for a little while.
    Chatting up the boats and watching TV.
    We got Phil's other two battleships ballasted, and discussed building next weekend in order to get another boat or two
    ready in time for the August 13 battle in Xenia.
    I plan to host a build-session next Saturday. And then I will make sure that the boat shop is available on Sunday as well,
    even though I may not be able to stay out there.
