One Day at a Time . . .

The work to be completed is coming soon. The roof is getting closer and closer to being done. With continued great weather and a few more days off during the week or at least a few afternoons/evening after work this part maybe completed as soon as next week.

The deck in the back is to be worked on this coming Saturday and may take only a day to complete. If so, new pic's will be added.

Once the roof is done - then the bow (roofs over the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom) will commence.

Just recently found a person to redo some of the side parts of the Marpro - hoping this project will start shortly and take a few weeks - keep your finger's crossed.

Goal: To get these projects done before the end of Summer - The race is on, first day of Summer, started yesterday.

One year has past - Mom where are you???

I noticed that I have been left along for one year - I can't stand it!

Luckly Mom came back today. "I'm still a great boat!" I yelled . . .

I think I caught her attention. She spent the day and night (Saturday) and acutally worked on me on Sunday! Yea!!!!

I gave her my punch list:
1) Redo the Roof - (she's working on it!)
2) New back Deck - (she's got someone in mind - thank you!)
3) Redo the frontage (the roof over the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom) - maybe in July/August.

It's been a while

Well it's be quite a while, since Ms. Marpro has posted herself. Hoping to save her self to show much more improvement, however it does take time. In our next posting you will see the work done thus far and more improvements inside will be coming shortly. As they say "keep coming back" and see what we are doing:)

Time to Bundle Up - Winter is coming

Well Ms. Marpro enjoyed the summer with "going topless - showing herself down to the bare wood", but now it's Winter and it coming quick and with a cold, wet spell about. So, it's time to prime that bare wood and "batten" down the hatches for the next couple of months. Take a look!

(Wishing that we had more time, we had to act quickly to protect Ms. Marpro for the next couple of winter months. So, we protected the bare wood, with primer - started with the staining and varnishing as well)

Ms. Marpro goes Topless for Halloween!

Well, Ms. Marpro was invited to a Halloween Party at Miller Park and she couldn't decide what to wear and if she should be "decked out". . . So she opted to go Topless, take a look!

We left Saturday afternoon, and were greeted just outside of Miller Park, by Skylark and Gifted Woodey, who then led us into the Miller Park Marina, to ensure we arrived safely.

While traveling, Ms. Marpo began getting decorated inside, with hanging bats who told jokes like. . . "what kind of music does the Mummy listen to? . . . Rap Music", spider-webs askew, body part's through out, rats running a muck, torches, a moon lite image of a captain's hat and a lit pumpkin. Even the First Mate dressed up as a "bewitching bear". Unfortunately, not all the pictures come out well.

First Adventure with the "Big Boys", well actually Girls!

From August through September, Ms. Marpro had been being worked on, taking little trips here and there, but mostly been worked on. From the outside into the engine(s), TLC was being provided.

Now, it's September and Ms. Marpo has been asked to join with the "Big Boys, well actually Girls", for a trip to Old Sacramento on September 21st through September 23rd.

Not sure, if she would fit in, knowing how beatuiful the other boats would be, but then, they all started from about where she is, she thought better of herself and went.

Here are a few friends . . .

Mini Trips taken - We have to have fun too!

Well Ms. Marpro is being worked on, but she wanted to fun too! So there has been some mini trips that we have taken, in between the work. . .

July 1st - Destination: Old Sacramento

July 22st - Desination: Lock/Walnut Grove

July 29th - Desination: ungiven - cruise around - Hey that's fun too!

I don't think she's been this active for many, many years! - She says it's not nice to mention how old a Lady is or to imply to one's age. - oops:)
