This is an amazing testament to Dan's angling skills: only a single fish bit all day, and Dan was in the right place with the right spoon to catch it!

Re: C19 in Richmond, VA
Kind of what I was trying to say, without saying it.
The pressure was on though. I caught a few earlier in the week, and some friends came down after I told them how hot it was. Towards the end of the day they were pointing and grumbling. I had to make something happen quickly.

Re: C19 in Richmond, VA
Mental block/fear of commitment about permanently attaching fuel tanks in a bed of 5200 has been overcome, and it feels like the end is now in sight! Man, I was reluctant to glue these guys in but over it now.
These 1/4 neoprene rubber strips were laminated to the bottom of each tank by spreading 5200 to 100% coverage with a 1/4" notched trowel.
Another layer of the same was spread on the bottom of each, and the tank set in the hole and secured with stainless lags, which were threaded into epoxy plugs in the stringers. Rubber grommets insulate the dissimilar metals.
A little bit of securing of the last bit of PVC, but then it's time to stick the sole!
