November 28

Well I do believes Stephen Is done....
Yes, tomorrow I will be checking in the daylight for touch ups.
And a scrub down.....

Well today was not my pictured plan....
It was my day for wet polishing....
And with so many curves and angles, this is not a dry job....
I was kinda hoping it would be a hot sunny day and the wet spray would be a welcome relief.
But nope nope
It was cold rain
And the day was like taking a cold shower for 10 hours straight....
But I wanted to get through and not have to get wet again tomorrow.

So I do believe there is one task left....

Cheque please....
Yup waiting for the big pay out.

Actually, when all is said and done, there will be not a lot, if any, profit from this.
But this was never about the money....
You cannot put a price on an adventure like this.
And with the great friends I met here it has been even more worth it.
So much learned.

And a lot of casualties....
