It did well, easily lifted all that crap off the side. I just lightly scrubbed it with a scotchbrite pad and rinsed.

Thank You!


Didn't get much done today busy with day job. I had a quote package to get out. I sanded the Quick fair I put on yesterday. This is just the first pass on areas I know need a heavy application.

If the front moving over me doesn't flood the river, I'll be trout fishing in the morning.

Pretty strange day. I went to the shop with the intent of getting some boat work done. I ended up getting busy with the day job. Ordering steel,tools etc., Monday order are always rush items. Happy for the Blessing of work but man I'm covered up. I did get a little done on the boat, just putting Quick Fair on the second side. I get home and in the mail I received my tax return from 2012! Some how my wife passing away confused the IRS. :| Of course they didn't bother paying interest or penalties to me. :x
Oh well, I turn on the news and see that a cousin by marriage has been charged with murder. He had posted a Harley on Craig's list, a guy shows up and asked to test drive it. He took off and never came back. Well my cousin found him,calls the sheriff and while he's waiting for them, the guys tries to take off on the bike. My cousin ran over him and drug him several hundred feet, killing him. 8O He also had his infant baby in his truck at the time. I wish he'd have thought of that baby and not killed the guy. Just a rotten shame. :cry: :cry: :cry:

Here are boat pictures. Just don't seem important.
