I got a late start morning, just eased into the day. I had to take the trash to the dumpster so I came to the shop around 12:00.
After that I decided to check on the boat. After giving it a walk down with pencil in hand I went to work filling all the little pinholes I found.

All the dark spots are where I filled.

Found a giouge from sanding at the end of this spray rail.

Most of what I filled was tiny in nature but two coats of primer didn't fill it so I put quick fair over it.
I realize I could have never seen this prior to primer so I'm not beating myself up over it.

Well I have to go home and decide which firearm I'll be cleaning tonight when my youngest daughter's date shows up.
It's her first date and I know they boy. They used to play together when he lived across the road from us. Never the less, That was when they were 6, 16 is different. No Quarter!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

If you have a S&W 500 Magnum . . . :p (Careful though, he might be too enthused about it, I know that would have been my favorite growing up. I liked the Desert Eagle back then, but the revolver is much more reliable)

I'd say a shotgun is probably most appropriate.

Like I said with the primer, it really calls attention to all the little details. Much harder to see with all the different textures/patterns from the initial fairing.

My daughters first date I took the young man aside and asked if she had told him I do not mind going back to prison :D
Daughter teared up and said she would never have any dates. I replied that I would knock it off when she was really old enough to date...............you know anything over 30 :lol:
