My father passed away in early march. I have been so busy cleaning out his house and getting it ready for sale that i havnt had much time for boats. I dont think i will be at the May 1-2 battle,as that is Derby weekend here,and my Hipper is still an empty hull.{sheeted and sanded.} The good news is that with the insurance money,and the house sale, Im getting a topper for my truck,a honkin big shed and some new tools(so i wont have to build at my kitchen table or on the patio anymore. that will make the wifeoid happy,and i wont have to wait for warm weather to go outside and sand.} Ray also said that,if my hipper isnt done, he will finish his Glorie and let me run his New Orleans.
