Bottom Paint / Electrical Panel

Yesterday I went shopping.  I scored on a gallon of bottom paint at West Marine.  It was a damaged can of their store brand in blue.  Although the can was dented up, the lid was still sealed, so I got $30 off.  I am going to have to be a bargain hunter to finish this boat.  Price was $69.99 instead of $99.99

I also resourced how I was going to construct the electrical panel.  West Marine wants too much money for their electrical panels, and I can probably make up a custom panel myself that would look and be better.  So off to Fry's I went to buy parts.  First thing I wanted was a DC Volt meter and rocker LED switches.  I have quite a bit of spare parts from all the computers I have built in the past decade that I think I could also make use of.  We will see how it comes along.

I also met my wife for lunch (upon her invitation).  We went to our favourite little restaurant (Thai).  Then I had to take my daughter to the dentist.  Guess what....   she has her first cavity!
I was exhausted...  not enough stamina.
