And here I am, almost 10 months after getting out of the hospital. At this point, I'm not sure who's worse, the doctors or the wife. They all keep reminding me that I'm still healing up so I've been very limited on doing much beyond going to work(on limited duty no less) or sitting around the house. Needless to say, it's been driving me crazy
With that all said, I've had major change at work. Due to a labor dispute, I've been going to work in a ghost town. That's given me the chance to start working on boats at work, at least for now. While I still have my Pak to work on, it's not far enough along to bring to work. Due to that, I started bringing a partially framed up hull for a new 2000 Elam Plus(to replace the one pictured below) to work. The plan to try and get both it and the Pak done in time for the 2025 season.

I have all the FG parts needed, those having been the box sitting on my front porch back in December when I got home from my hospital stay so I won't have to wait for them to arrive. Today's tasks are to cut the glue blocks that will be used to fasten the nontrips(the rear side panels) to the framing. Having a mini power miter box and hobby sized belt/disc sander definitely makes the task quicker. If I don't have any fitting issues, I'll(hopefully) get everything glued down tomorrow. I'll try to post a couple of pictures in a few days so I'll be able to at least show some progress.
