We actually picked up boat #4 last week. We have just had a little unexpected thing happen that put a stop on just about everything for the past 4-5 days and that is why I haven't been around very much.
Boat #4 for just picked up for the trailer. It has brand new tires and rims on it and we got it for less that what you would pay for 2 new tires and rims. The boat came along as a "freebie" because the guy just wanted it out of his yard.
This is a 2000 Riveria and once it got home and hubby looked it over some more, he decided that he will fix it up. It reminded him of a boat that his family had when he was growing up. It will make a great little ski boat for someone. So this one takes a number and waits to be fixed up.
Off to work outside for a bit before the rain comes in. How is your day going?

It's bright and sunny here and low (for us) humidity here (59%).
I hope you can sell the boat and make some good money from it.

@DaddyEvil Your forecast is better than mine. We have thunderstorms back on Monday! And again later in the week.
I'm not piling it on. He is making his own work schedule.

Yes, we need for the weather to clear up so we can get the Maxum finished and out of here. I think he will be doing the Skeeter a little bit at a time since it is a bit annoying with the way his brother left it. All wiring is all bundled up and tangled. It's just a mess. He also needs to finish getting the riding mower ready for the "For Sale" sign. He has decided that the yard out in the field is too much for him now with uneven ground and bouncing. So he will be doing all the mowing with the tractor now. New implement on order for that because what he had bought before does not cut low enough.

@kareng It is supposed to be sunny and clear here for the next week... How much better do you need the weather to be? 
Don't keep piling more work on him or he may decide that he has to "break down" just to get some rest.

That’s going to end up special when he’s done with it, won’t it. It looks nice already. 
Today, I went to my dad’s because my sister and her family were there. I leave in about an hour to go help decorate for the party. I think quite a few people are showing up to help.

I am enjoying my work at home sharing news stories and assisting my relatives cleaning up the cat litter boxes.

Somehow I am envisioning a business with a sign that says “Karen and husband’s boat rehab” and considering the boating season down there it will be a roaring success!

@Ineeddentures Yes, going for a ride on a bike is a great way to cool off.
I hope Yvonne isn't coming down with something.

Yes we went out twice just to get some air
Riding a motorcycle is a good way to get some slightly colder air on a hot day
We went to McDonalds
Drank Coffee and Yvonne got hoarse again
Air con, that's what did it

You're okay, and that's the main thing here.
