Every morning to lunch I have been in the shop working on the "Bug".
Slow going, making the "Belly plate" between the cats , it's to keep the water off the prop, which is a must I guess.
With one person it is a two step forward and one step back on every rivet.
Just need one more LOOONG arm.
Anyway I'm getting it and it will work fine, when completed I'm going to get it filled with foam for flotation, and rigidity.
It's been well below zero most the days and with my propane heater I can get it up to around +10* in the shop, workable but harder to work, you need coat and gloves.
ALLLL that said I'm tired and planning a calling trip some time this weekend " Weather permitting" .
There calling for a heat wave at around + 15 and light winds, BUT it has been snowing every day since mid week in all about 10" down here on the flats.
That makes travel tough and walking even harder, the coyotes don't like it either and are hard to coax out for a " Good Time". I'm going to try anyway just not good weather for another try at the cow elk, there is still a month to get that done...
